The Wild Baron

A Regency romance from #1 New York Times bestselling author Catherine Coulter.
 
Rohan Carrington, Baron Mountvale, proud scion of a family renowned for its philandering and charm, is bewildered. He has received a letter stating that his late, younger brother, George, ruined a young lady. But how could this be possible? George was a scholar, a serious young man; without mincing words, he was a prude. Whereas Rohan enjoys the reputation of being a womanizer, George had the reputation of cold porridge.
 
Enter the ruined lady, Susannah, who says that she wasn’t ruined. She claims she’s a Carrington, but that George didn’t leave her in the best way. She has a three-year-old daughter, very little money, a younger brother, and a wastrel father. In short, she’s penniless. But when Rohan and Susannah team up, they find themselves on the trail of a legendary treasure somehow connected to MacBeth, the eleventh-century king of Scotland.
 
There are also cats to be trained for the races, limericks to be sung to the horses, a murder to be solved, a vicar with more secrets than a wizard’s wand, and a man and a woman who are linked by magic as old as time.
