Description

Evie Dunmore has done it again! A must-read for historical romance lovers. – Chanel Cleeton

Dunmore creates pure magic with this charming, romantic novel. – Jennifer Probst

Going toe-to-toe with a brooding Scotsman is rather bold for a respectable suffragist, but when he happens to be one's unexpected husband, what else is an unwilling bride to do?

London banking heiress Hattie Greenfield wanted "just" three things in life:

1. Acclaim as an artist.

2. A noble cause.

3. Marriage to a young lord who puts the gentle in gentleman.

Why then does this Oxford scholar find herself at the altar with the darkly attractive financier Lucian Blackstone, whose murky past and ruthless business practices strike fear in the hearts of Britain's peerage? Trust Hattie to take an invigorating little adventure too far. Now she's stuck with a churlish Scot who just might be the end of her ambitions...

When the daughter of his business rival all but falls into his lap, Lucian sees opportunity. As a self-made man, he has vast wealth but holds little power, and Hattie might be the key to finally setting long-harboured political plans in motion. Driven by an old revenge, he has no room for his new wife's apprehensions or romantic notions, bewitching as he finds her.

But a sudden journey to Scotland paints everything in a different light. Hattie slowly sees the real Lucian and realizes she could win everything—as long as she is prepared to lose her heart.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Portrait of a Scotsman has been praised for its fascinating mix of history, romance, and women's rights. Jodi Picoult highlights its unique blend of these elements, while Emily Henry calls it "remarkably sexy and surprisingly complex," full of tension and emotional pull. Chanel Cleeton commends Dunmore's gorgeous prose, electric chemistry, and witty dialogue. Roshani Chokshi describes it as vivid and magical with a strong steam factor, and Lauren Layne lauds Dunmore as an intelligent, genre-defying storyteller.
