A Scandal of Our Own
Sophie Graves didn’t cross an ocean to fall in love with a Scottish earl.
She came to Scotland to escape a life that had nearly broken her, rediscover her independence, and capture the wild, breathtaking places most travelers never see. Armed with a camera, a notebook, and a healthy distrust of charming men, she’s determined to build a future entirely her own.
Then she meets Ian Sinclair.
Arrogant. Infuriating. Devastatingly handsome.
And, unfortunately, the Earl of Dunhaven.
Ian has spent years perfecting the art of keeping people at arm’s length. Between a disastrous engagement, the relentless scrutiny of the press, and a grandmother determined to control his future, he’s learned that trusting the wrong person can cost him everything.
Especially when that person happens to be a writer.
But when family expectations threaten his plans for Dunhaven, Ian offers Sophie an outrageous proposition.
Six weeks. One fake engagement. Absolutely no falling in love.
In exchange, he’ll show her the Scotland hidden beyond the tourist trails.
What could possibly go wrong?
Apparently, everything.
Because beneath the polished smiles of Scottish high society lie old grudges, dangerous secrets, and someone who isn’t nearly as pleased about their engagement as they pretend to be.
As harmless flirtation gives way to scorching attraction, Sophie and Ian find themselves breaking every rule they agreed upon. But the closer they become, the more someone seems determined to tear them apart.
And when a calculated betrayal turns their romance into a very public scandal, Sophie discovers that broken hearts aren’t the only things at risk.
Ian must decide whether to trust the woman who’s turned his world upside down—or believe the lies threatening to destroy her.
Because their engagement may have been pretend, but the danger surrounding them is becoming all too real.
Character portraits coming later.
