But, she is a determined lady, holds her own against Royal’s curmudgeonly Grandfather, and her struggles with being a mother are all poignant and easy to relate to. They traded barbs in such a fun way, with the chemistry always sizzling just beneath the surface.Īinsley’s story is a familiar one, and in today’s climate readers will immediately relate to her dilemma, the fallout of which, hasn’t improved a great deal, I’m sorry to say. I enjoyed the banter between Ainsley and Royal, which is sharp, a little snarky, and sarcastic, slightly unconventional, but an awesome change of pace. However, his undying devotion to Ainsley, who would try anyone’s patience at times, was simply divine! So, of course, he had that going for him automatically. Everyone knows I’m a sucker for the wounded and scarred hero. But, this story works great as a stand- alone.

But, out of the blue, Ainsley tracks him down, explaining she has changed her mind. Recovering from physical and psychological war wounds, Royal finds a new purpose by raising this wonderful child. Needing to place her child with someone she can trust, she summons Royal, begging him to take the child and raise her as his own. The truth is, Ainsley isn’t hiding from the scandal- she’s hiding her pregnancy. The scandal causes Ainsley to run away to a remote Scottish estate to hide out for a while- or at least that’s the story she and her aunt are selling. However, when Royal realizes Ainsley despises her fiancé and is being forced into the marriage, he makes an impulsive decision that backfires horribly. But, Ainsley is engaged to the Marquess of Cringlewood. When Royal and Ainsley first meet, an obvious chemistry develops quickly.
