A Diamond In The Rough

Viscount Marquand has seen how dangerous wild passions can be. Determined not to follow in the footsteps of his weak-willed wastrel father, Adrian has designed a life for himself based on order and reason . . . and a passion for creating the most beautiful gardens in England. However, as a gentleman isn’t allowed to soil his hands with running a business, he must keep his true identity as England’s most acclaimed landscape designer a secret. But when his father gambles away Adrian’s beloved ancestral estate, he’s sure all is lost . . . until he’s offered a way to win it back.

But it won’t be easy. First, he must travel to Scotland . . .

Adrian isn’t the only one keeping secrets. Derrien McClellan, a fiery, unconventional Scottish lass must disguise herself as a boy to play golf on the hallowed course at St. Andrews. She’s the best golfer by far . . . which is why a dear family friend asks her help in teaching Adrian how to play so he can beat an unprincipled cad at his own game and win back Woolsey Hall. Derrien has good reason to dislike an English lord, but she grudgingly agrees.

And so the games begin! Secrets tangle with misunderstandings as the mismatched pair struggle to work together. Things turn even more complicated when Adrian’s prim and proper fiancée arrives . . . and take another twist when Derrien discovers that Adrian shares her passion for garden design. Suddenly the stakes are higher as they head into the final match . . . with their hearts now in play, will Love conquer all?
