As a self-made man, he has vast wealth but holds little power, and Hattie might be the key to finally setting long-harbored political plans in motion. Driven by an old desire for revenge, he has no room for his new wife's apprehensions or romantic notions, bewitching as he finds her.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e But a sudden journey to Scotland paints everything in a different light. Hattie slowly sees the real Lucian and realizes she could win everything--as long as she is prepared to lose her heart.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53507407151377,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781984805720.jpg?v=1778126196","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-portrait-of-a-scotsman-by-evie-dunmore","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
