Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author Karen Ranney returns with the first novel in a new series about dashing, charismatic dukes—and the women who tame them… Though raised as a gentleman’s daughter, Lorna Gordon is obliged to take a position as an upstairs maid at Blackhall Castle when her father dies. Alex Russell, the Duke of Kinross, is the most tempting man she’s ever seen—and completely unattainable—until, at a fancy dress ball, Lorna disguises herself as Marie Antoinette and pursues an illicit tryst…with scandalous consequences. Months after his mysterious seductress disappears, Alex encounters her again. Far from the schemer the distrustful duke assumed her to be, Lorna is fiercely independent and resourceful. She’s the one woman capable of piercing his defenses. But when danger threatens Lorna, Alex must prove himself not just the lover of her fantasies, but the man who will fight to protect her.
Download or read book James VII written by Alastair Mann and published by Birlinn. This book was released on 2014-12-21 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James VII and II is one of the least studied monarchs of Scotland, and has previously mostly been studied from an English perspective or as the muddled victim of the revolution of 1688/9 which delivered for Britain much-vaunted political emancipation. This book provides the first complete portrait of James as a Stewart prince of Scotland, as duke of Albany and King of Scots. It re-evaluates the traditional views of James as a Catholic extremist and absolutist who failed through incompetence, and challenges preconceptions based on strong views of his failings, both in popular belief and serious history. Investigating the personality and motives of the man, this biography assesses James as commander, as Christian and as king, but also as family man and Restoration libertine - a prince of his time. Painting a picture of James from cradle to grave, from childhood to resigned exile, it brings him to life within his Scottish context and as a member of the royal line of Scotland. The journey from dashing young cavalry commander to pious prince in exile appears oddly incongruous given the political and personal trials that lay between. That journey was much more of Scotland than previous studies have suggested - indeed, James was in many ways the last King of Scots.

The trail leads him to London where he meets the enigmatic spymaster known as Tarleton. With the spymaster's help, Ioan searches for clues pertaining to the possible assassination of his family. Lady Matilda Welsh, the goddaughter and niece of Lord Tarleton, is a brilliant code breaker-making up her own code in the music that she writes. Her intuition leads her to the door of the duke next door-by way of secret passageways in her home. After being found in a compromising position with the duke, ending with an impromptu wedding in her front hall. With the help of his friends and Matilda, Ioan starts an investigative branch of Tarleton's spy network, handling cases within Great Britain. His first case? Searching for his family's killer. Why? His father and brothers were agents for Tarleton and had found a link to a rival spy ring known only as The Shadows. Ioan and Matilda work together to find the killer, not realizing the killer is watching their every move-planning revenge upon the Valor and Honor Investigators. Will they find him in time? Will they believe in each other as all they hold dear threatens to fall around them? Or will the Shadow agent kill yet again?
