Hardly A Gentleman

*Book Two in the Accidental Brides Series

New York Times bestselling author Eloisa James returns to the Accidental Brides series with a romance about a forced marriage between a feisty heroine and a Scottish laird . . . neither of whom have plans to marry, let alone fall in love.

Desperate after her Season comes to a spectacularly disastrous end, the Honourable Miss Clara Vetry jumps into a carriage hired to take a housekeeper to Scotland.

The laird of Castle CaerLaven has no interest in a wife, especially a love match - but when Caelan sees his new housekeeper, he changes his mind. Marriage to a delectable bookworm strikes him as a perfect arrangement.

To his surprise, Clara refuses his proposal once . . . and again . . . yet again.
When her true identity is revealed, and they're forced to marry, Caelan realizes he has a far more crucial challenge.

He finally has Clara's hand - but how will he ever win her heart?
