Kudos for this third installment in the series."xa0xa0★★★★★ ~ Liette Bougie "Her dialogue between her characters is perfection, her timing, especially with the witty comments is beyond compare." ★★★★★ ~ Liz Evans Dearest Reader! I had been waiting to write Lucan, the Duke of Harcourt's story ever since I introduced him inxa0HIGHLANDER'S HOPE.xa0xa0Only, I wasn't sure what kind of a hero he should be. I saw him as a cocky, confident, privileged peer, but I knew he had to have more depth than that. I grew to know him more through the rest of the Castle Brides Series and the first two books in my Highland Heather Romancing a Scot Series , and realized, he was a deeply complex man.xa0xa0xa0Still, who would make the perfect heroine for him? Surely,not a High Society miss. Too typical for Harcourt. The moment I put Tasara on the page inxa0VIRTUE AND VALOR, I knew she was perfect for him.xa0xa0I hope you enjoy readingxa0HEARTBREAK AND HONOR as much as I enjoyed writing it, and if you want to read Katrina Needham's story, be sure to read TO TAME A SCOUNDREL'S HEART . xoxoCollette From the Inside Flap Have you read all of Collette Cameron's Regency and Scottish Historical Romances ?

Smiling and occasionally waving, the dowager inclined her neatly coiffed silver head toward the other stalls. The turquoise ostrich feather atop her head dipped and bobbed with her exaggerated movements, as did her spectacular diamond earrings. "Those Hinton windbags are sharing that cow Clutterbuck's box." She inclined her head and gave a little finger wave their way. "Yes, I'm talking about you, too, you pernicious chinwags." Suppressing a giggle, Alexa set the opera glasses to her eyes and instantly regretted the impulse when she encountered a myriad of attendees pointing their attention in the direction of Lucan's box. Mr. Mortimer waved exuberantly, earning him a glower and the smack of her fan from the lady beside him. Lucan edged closer to Alexa and lifted her hand. He kissed the back for a lingering moment. Given the surge in whispers nippily following his kiss, several sets of theater glasses likely dipped to focus upon their hands. "Please, please, marry me, Kitten,", Lucan whispered in her ear. Alexa swung round to admonish him, but her mouth dropped open at the heat radiating from his granite eyes. If I were tinder, I'd burst into flames. The scorching temperature permeating her was hot enough to incinerate. She flipped her fan open. Heaven above, what this man did to her . . . What she'd like him to do to her. He lowered his lashes partway, a seductive smile teasing one side of his too-tempting mouth, the blasted dimple in his cheek mesmerizing her. "Smile and nod, then give me a look of besotted adoration. You may flutter your eyelashes and giggle to make your infatuation more believable if you wish." "Foolish man, I'll do no such thing." Alexa chuckled, the tension easing from her. "Then say yes to my suit." "No." She released another tense laugh. "Have you always been this obstinate or do you not understand the word?" Hadn't she thought the same thing about him when they'd first met? Only now, she found his pigheadedness charming and amusing. He winked and set her hand upon his sculpted thigh, holding it there by placing his hand atop hers. "My ploy worked, didn't it? Aren't you more relaxed now?" "Uh hum." She was. The dowager nudged Alexa with her fan. "Yes, my lady?" Alexa tried to ease her hand free, but Lucan firmly pressed her palm into his leg, giving a brief squeeze and another wicked flash of white teeth. At this rate, she might be the one to ravish him. She clenched her teeth against the desire to trail her fingertips along the muscle. Surveying the audience, he patted her hand as if he knew perfectly well how he affected her. Probably did. The earlier cacophony filling the auditorium filtered to a muted buzz as the lighting dimmed in preparation for the performance. Dowager Lady Middleton all but bellowed into the stillness, "Tell me, my dear, why on earth did you refuse my nephew's proposals?"
