#MidWeekTease Where our story begins...


Welcome to this week's

#MidWeekTease



I love me a feisty heroine and a drop dead gorgeous hero...

Secrets never stay buried for long…
Reluctant heiress Lady Morven Weston is tired of her mother interfering in her love affairs. At almost twenty-six there’s only so many more society balls she can attend before resigning herself to life as an unmarried maid.
But when Lord Fraser Napier, the man Morven ran wild with one long, hot summer, returns to Scotland, his shocking revelations change everything. Fraser never annulled their whirlwind marriage all those years ago!
Preparing to take up his ancestral seat, Fraser’s not letting go of his secret bride that easily—he needs an heir. It’s only a matter of time before Morven surrenders to Fraser’s seductive touch and finds herself in his bed…

And oh my, it says...
The next exquisite Regency romance from Raven McAllan, The Scottish Lord’s Secret Bride will whisk you off your feet and sweep you into an opulent world of scandal, secrets and desire!

Hope you agree...

At eighteen Morven thought herself in love.
At twenty she knew it had been no such thing.
At twenty-one she wondered if such a thing as love existed.
At twenty-five she got the chance to find out.


“Kintrain
September 1810

My dearest love,
I miss you with an intensity I have never felt before. Why did we allow ourselves to be separated like this? Why did I meekly wave goodbye when it was time for you to go? Am I that weak? Lord I hope not.
I know my own mind, know I do not want to be apart from you. You said on that last magical day together that you would be with me wherever. We promised each other that our love would last, and here I am alone and wondering why I could not put us first. Why I accepted that I have to do what is best for the estate and the people it supports. I never thought myself weak, but now I wonder.
It’s hard, nigh impossible to imagine life without you. I feel I have lost half of myself—the better half.
Will you come with me? Or follow me if not?
I have to go to Barbados and take over the plantation for the next few years—we know that. The livelihood of too many people is dependent on it.
I leave from Edinburgh on the Arabella, and we dock on 15th, God willing in London Docks, and leave three tides later. I have reserved a cabin. A cabin for two.
Go to Messrs Banks and Bullimore in Lincoln’s Inn and ask for the letter left there for you. It has the details of how we can be together again.
I pray it is soon,
Your love,
for ever,
Fraser.”
