A Scot in the Dark is a take on Beauty and the Beast though Alec is not ugly, just massive. I love these type of stories and a man in a kilt - Hello! 
 Lily has gotten herself into a scandal, posing nude for a ne'er-do-well artist/actor who plans to take advantage of her naivete. Alec, a reluctant Duke (this part of the story is hysterical), has inherited Lily as his ward so he comes to London to resolve the situation. 
 It's a fast-paced romp to a well-deserved HEA. Both Lily and Alec are delightful characters and many old favorites from Ms. MacLean's other books make appearances. A wonderfully written story about love and redemption.
