A Duke By Default: Reluctant Royals

"Alyssa Cole’s Reluctant Royals series is peak romance for 2018: multicultural, socially conscious, consent-driven and as sexy as it gets. In A Duke By Default, her heroine, Portia Hobbs, flees her glamorous but chaotic Manhattan life for a sword-making apprenticeship in Scotland – as one does – and discovers that her new boss, Tavish McKenzie, has a lot more to offer than blacksmithing lessons. But even better than watching Portia fall for Tavish is watching her discover her own intelligence. Portia might not have royal blood, but she’s the real catch in this story."
