The Earl’s Match (The Thompsons of Locust Street Series) by Holly Bush. This is the 5th book in the Thompson's of Locust Street series. Its been 5 years since Payden Thompson, the true Heir to the Earl Of Traviston and his best friend Robbie McClintock return to Dunacres, Scotland. They have returned to find Cameron Plowman who murdered his family and took his claim. When Payden returns he is broken by everything he had to do to win victory. Payden is struggling to fit back into society after the atrocities he's seen and done. When he meets Clarice Endicott he is smitten, although, Clarice is a older debutante and has no desires to marry. That is, until she meets Payden, there is something about him that touches her. Clarice is the only thing to bring Payden back to reality and he doesn't want to lose her. Clarice is so independent but she really took care of Payden and their love story is beautiful. I think you could read this as a standalone but I highly recommend reading them in order to better enjoy the characters and the stories!
