Lyon of Scotland: The Lyon's Den Connected World
Susan King

When Alasdair “Dare” Drummond, Viscount Strathburn and Lord Lyon, head of Scottish heraldry, arrives in London on royal business, he encounters the one Scotswoman he tried to forget. Beautiful, spirited Hannah Gordon is a gifted artist now engaged to another. But when Dare uncovers a threat to her, his protective instincts—and long-hidden love—surface.
In London, Hannah hoped for independence and artistic success, not heartbreak. Abandoned by her fiancé and burdened with his debts, she works as a heraldry artist under the cruel eye of Sir Frederic Dove, who loathes Scots and resents the girl’s talents. Scheming with his notorious cousin, Mrs. Dove-Lyon, he traps Hannah in a scandalous marriage contract to ruin her—and blackmails Lord Lyon as the unexpected groom.
Reluctantly wed, Dare and Hannah navigate deceit, secrets, and the past even as the bond between them grows more powerful.
Yet love alone won’t be enough to free them, if they can’t unravel a treacherous web of lies before it’s too late.
