With London's glittering crowd all reading her column in
the Town Crier and constant invitations to all the finest
and most sought after events in 1811 coming her way, the
lovely and talented Serena March was having a ball!
Just when she thought nothing could be better than this,
things took a decided turn for the worse. Her
father, Ambassador Earlington Marsh, was asked by the King
to go to the wilds of Scotland to see if he could calm the
tensions and quell a potential rebellion from the new tax
that were needed to fill the Treasury and cover the costs
from England's war with Napoleon. When her begging failed
to change her father's resolve to go despite his weak
heart, Serena insisted on coming with him. But, now in
Scotland with little to do and missing the parties and
excitement of London, Serena pined for her friends,
especially her editor, Archer Weston.
When a letter arrived threatening her life, Serena was
unfazed, but the Ambassador insisted on hiring a protector
for his only daughter. When he learned that Malcolm
Slayter, an outcast from his Highland kin, was the best man
for the job, he was given the authority to care for her
without question.
Independent to the core and resistant to following this
brutish, yet handsome and well muscled man, Serena puts
both their lives in danger. As they struggle to overcome a
change in fate and the longer she spends with him, Serena
realizes that Malcolm is a good man inside and the less
certain she feels about leaving his care. But how can they
escape the insurmountable odds against them? Will her
father still be alive by the time they can get to him?
Michelle Marcos is famous for her interesting and
intriguing heroes and heroines and she definitely does not
disappoint in this new release! Malcolm has a heartbreaking
background to overcome and he had grown up rough with only
his finely tuned wits to save him. Branded as a slaighteur
and despised by other Scots, he claims no kin, yet knowing
he can never be Serena's equal; he still can't help falling
in love with her. The interplay between Malcolm and Serena
is rapier sharp and fascinating. The story line is strong,
filled with interesting secondary characters and
unanticipated happenings. This is a treat Scottish romance
lovers will not want to miss, especially with a related
tale, Lessons in Loving a Laird, on the horizon! Enjoy!
Meet the Highland Knaves, an infamous clan of outcast Scots
who live for justice, lust for freedom, and long for lovers
bold enough to tame them...
A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH
Torn from a pampered life of luxury and thrust into the
midst of a Scottish revolution, Serena Marsh is shocked to
meet the brutish man who has been assigned to protect her
from the rebels trying to kill her—Malcolm Slayter, the
most rugged, most dangerous, and most undeniably attractive
man she has ever encountered...
THE KNAVE OF HEARTS
Malcolm has no loyalties, no country, and no sense of
propriety. Hired by her father, Malcolm agrees to protect
the lovely lass for afee. But when Serena challenges
Malcolm’s authority—and engages him in a risky
flirtation—all bets are off. When the battle heats up,it’s
anyone’s guess as to who’s seducing whom...and who’ll
surrender first.
