She needed an understanding hero who would give her room to be herself but was also there to support and defend her.   Mathias, Duke of Westfall, is the perfect hero for her. He waited patiently for her to heal and offered her friendship and taught her to trust men again. I really adore him!   Watch for HOW TO WIN A DUKE'S HEART, Sophronie Slater and Evan Gordonstone, Duke of Waycross's story and THE DEBUTANTE AND THE DUKE, Rayne Wellbrook and Fletcher McQuinton, Duke of Kincade, romances coming soon.   Happy reading!!    xoxo Collette Discover the enchanting world of Collette Cameron's Regency and Scottish Highlander romances!
