The Conundrum (Second Sons) (Volume 3)

The brat … London's most gossiped about young lady The brute … the Scots Grey's fiercest soldier Lady Eleanor is beautiful, wilful, and finally caused one scandal too many, when she is involved in a petticoat duel over cucumber sandwiches. Her father has had enough and intends to marry her off to become someone else's headache. Except Eleanor demands the right to duel any suitor, and what noble would raise a sword to a gently bred woman? Aibne Kerr is no noble and most people baulk at his scarred face. The fierce warrior and his fellow agents are gathering evidence of a traitorous plot against England. But how can Aibne resist a woman threatening to dismember any man who touches her? Especially one who stands on her tiptoes to yell in his face like a spitting cat? Something in Aibne is stirred by Eleanor's indomitable spirit and he vows to save her from ruin when her father's betrayal is revealed. If the brat and brute don't kill each other first, could two lonely hearts find love?
