TEMPTING THE LAIRD

Narrator Derek Perkins transports listeners to the Scottish Highlands with this historical romance featuring a secretive duke and the bold woman he can't help but fall for. Catriona's beloved aunt taught her to stand up for herself and to pursue her desires. Following her aunt's death, Catriona is sent to the Highlands to deal with her grief and the responsibilities of her inheritance. There she crosses paths with Hamlin Graham, the neighboring duke, a man who shrouds himself in mystery. But if he's not careful, he'll reveal all to this determined woman. Perkins's gruff Scottish tones for Hamlin and smooth English cadence for Catriona contribute to a well-rounded performance that lends depth to the narrative and flavors the characters with unique identifiable voices.
