A Touch of Scandal

Romance Historical

Kate Fisk spies on the bronzed, sculpted nude Adonis swimming in her special pond in Kenilworth, England. Kate works as a servant for her twin brother, Willy, while he hides from his new wife, Rebecca, the knowledge that Kate is his sister. Willy's marriage is based on revenge and deception against Rebecca's brother, Garrett James.

The last thing in the world Garrett James, Duke of Calton, intends is to become embroiled in temptation with Kate when he catches her spying. Kate is torn between the two men she loves as they face off with threats of death fixed in their minds. Loyalty to her family, plus her all-consuming love for Garrett, leaves Kate in terrible turmoil determining who is telling the truth. When Garrett's social status as a duke is revealed to Kate, her world crashes around her, believing her station in life will never allow her to pursue the one person she loves more than life itself.

A TOUCH OF SCANDAL is woven with deceit, lies and hatred while at the same time filled with warmth and all-consuming love. Kate is a wonderful character full of caring and love for her family, while always being treated as inadequate by her mother. She struggles to gain the self-worth and respect she so deserves. Reading this story, I completely fell in love with the honorable servant girl and her esteemed duke. This is definitely a tale of excitement, hot sizzling sex and loads of mystery. I am so looking forward to the upcoming story of Lady Rebecca and continuation of the James family saga.

SUMMARY

The last thing Garrett, Duke of Calton, expects to find while tracking his sworn enemy is the delectable, mysterious Kate. This beautiful servant girl rouses a longing the battle-scarred ex-soldier had never hoped to feel again. But when she turns out to be the sister of the man he seeks, he's convinced he's been betrayed.

Kate knows her duty to her family, yet how can she ignore Garrett's powerful pull on her heart? Or the heady temptation of his stolen-and sizzling-kisses? Scandal has followed the duke since the war. Now the greatest shock of all is on its way-the one that can separate Garrett and Kate forever.
