About
Orin Hume from The Rose and the Thistle comes of age in A Matter of Honor and ventures beyond Scotland's
borders, achieving a renown all his own, only to return home again to reclaim the life and lady he once loved.
Having grown up at Wedderburn Castle in the serene Scottish Lowlands, Orin Hume is thrust into the dazzling
realm of London society and Court circles as Poet Laureate of Britain. But at the height of his fame a former
tragedy and his ties to a lass he once loved lead him home to Berwickshire again. When his return is further
marred by lost love letters and scheming kin who conspire to keep the pair apart, can Lady Maryn Lockhart,
now Duchess of Fordyce, forgive him? Or will the shadows of the past and the complexities of the present
rewrite their love story?
