Her Hired Husband (Surprised Heirs #3)

Running a whisky empire was easy. Faking a marriage? Turning out to be a bit more difficult...

Miss Helena Lickfold is a most unorthodox heiress. She took the fortune her father left her and—blessedly free of meddling male guardians—started her own successful whisky distillery on Islay. After all, years of studying gardening, jam-making, and the art of a well-timed boil (teapot, of course) had to lead somewhere useful. The only hiccup? Convincing a bunch of stubborn, barley-soaked Scotsmen to take orders from a refined young lady.

So she did what any reasonable woman would made up a husband. A commanding, unseen Mr. Lickfold whose “instructions” she’s been following for two years.

But the locals are starting to raise their eyebrows… and Helena knows the jig is nearly up. In a moment of desperation, she hires a reputable agency in London to find her a man—just someone to pose as her husband, offer a nod of approval, and vanish. Easy.

Enter Hunter Lindsay. A charming baseborn bareknuckle boxer who not only is surprisingly good at this husband thing...but insufferably attractive and not nearly as willing to disappear as she’d hoped. Helena can’t decide if she wants to kiss him or kick him… or both, repeatedly.

But when danger closes in and her new hired husband becomes the target, Helena has to risk the only man who’s ever made her want a real partner… or protect him the only way she knows how?

another flaming hot adventure, full of bad jokes, spicy bits, and more than a little whisky. Get ready for fun!
