If You Dared to Love a Laird (Paperback or Softback)

♥  A Scottish laird who knows what he wants
♥  A young widow who knows what she doesn’t want
♥  A precocious little girl
♥  A fairytale wedding ball
♥  Steamy romance!

Another charming romance featuring New York Times bestselling author Lauren Royal’s “outrageously funny, loyal, compassionate, and unconventional” Chase family!

Sensible Clarice Bradford is content in her widowhood. She has a pretty one-room cottage and a lovely little daughter, and the last thing she wants is another husband. Until one fairytale evening when she’s invited to a wedding at a castle...

Scottish laird Sir Cameron Leslie is smitten with the shy English beauty at first sight. He’s fiercely drawn to the very strength and independence that make her unwilling to throw caution to the wind and bestow her heart on a younger man. Though passion flares between them, it will take everything Cameron can muster to reawaken Clarice's long-forgotten dreams of true love...

PLEASE NOTE: Formerly titled “Forevermore,” this is a short novel about 1/4 the length of the previous Chase Family Series books.
