What is the name of the book where the heroine shows up on the hero's door during the night with a baby she says is his but is his uncle's?

Answer 1

I can't remember the names of the hero and heroine. I believe the heroine is Scottish from Edinburgh. The baby is her mother's, who had recently died. The baby isn't actually the hero's; it is his uncle's but they go through the whole book believing the baby to be his. The reason the hero think's the baby is his is because he was at a house party and remembered doing something he regretted. It turns out what he did is pee in a plant. The uncle was a captain of a ship or just away at sea. I don't really remember anything else. Can someone please help me?

Answer 2

The book you're referring to is "The Day of the Duchess" by Sarah MacLean. The heroine, Seraphina, arrives at the hero Malcolm's door in the middle of the night with a baby that she claims is his, but is actually his uncle's.
