Lord Difficult by Eileen Putman
Regency matchmaker Emmaline Stanhope faces her greatest test in Robert Tavish — an intimidating beast of a man who refuses to comply with even basic requirements for a prospective husband. He won’t dance. He won’t learn manners. He won’t even try.
Oh, but then he saves her life. Whisks her off to Scotland. Reveals dark secrets. Can he reconcile with his past—and the passions he ruthlessly denies? Could she be the Beauty to tame this Beast?
Book 3 in the Maitland’s Rogues series of Regency historical romances about daring rogues who worked clandestinely for England during the Napoleonic War. Hardened and deadly, they have no use for love–until it ensnares them.
