Book Description
"A book to feast upon. Jack is one of the most unique-and intriguing-heroes in romance. He will most certainly steal your heart." (Patricia Potter)
From the Author
My name is Hope Tarr, and I hope you'll enjoy My Lord Jack. My Lord Jack is my second novel and the fourth book to roll out Jove's new Highland Fling line of Scottish set romances.
Despite his unusual er,... occupation, my hero Jack Campbell, is very much a hero after my heart. Like his creator (me!), Jack is a lifelong animal lover as well as a bit of an introvert. He also has the soul of a poet--and a heart of pure gold. When he sees the lovely young and obviously "foreign" Claudia being attacked by a group of tavern ruffians, he doesn't think so much as twice before coming to her rescue. That she "thanks" him by turning his well-ordered life upside down and then some sets the stage for what I hope you will find to be a rollicking good time in the Scotland of the late eighteenth century.Here's wishing you fairytale dreams -- and an endless supply of fabulous romance fiction,

From the Inside Flap
Once a pampered courtesan, Claudia Valemont has lost her mother, her protector, and her lifestyle to the French Revolution. To avoid the guillotine herself, Claudia flees to Scotland to search for her only remaining relative: a father who knows nothing of her existence.
What Claudia finds instead is hardship and heartbreak. Now penniless, she is forced to steal to survive. Her crime nearly puts her in the hangman's noose, until the hangman himself comes to her rescue. Pleading on her behalf, he gets her sentence commuted to six months' labor in the village commons under his watchful eye. Though indebted to her mysterious savior, Claudia feels more than gratitude at his side--and as a harsh Scottish winter descends, her Lord Jack just might heal her wounded heart...
