To Surrender to a Rogue [Mass Market Paperback] Elliott, Cara

Alexa Hendrie has spent years building a respectable life as a widowed antiquarian, far from the scandal that once defined her. But when the notorious rogue Connor Linsley — the one man who knows her secrets — returns to her sleepy Scottish village to excavate Roman ruins, her carefully constructed world begins to crumble. Connor is still dangerous, still devastatingly attractive, and still determined to unearth more than ancient artifacts. As their charged encounters blur the line between enemies and lovers, Alexa must decide whether to protect her hard-won reputation or risk everything for the man who could ruin her — or save her. Elliott delivers smoldering chemistry and emotional depth in this Regency romance where the real excavation isn't happening in the ruins. Perfect for fans of historical romance with smart heroines, reformed rakes, and second-chance tension.
