Romance Historical

Dubbed the "Yankee Ice Princess," Cassandra Sheridan arrives at her betrothal ball only to discover her fiancΓ© absent. Since her arrival in England, Cassie has not laid eyes upon her intended. Tired of the ridicule she faces, Cassie decides on one defiant act before her marriage. She will travel incognito and visit her dearest friend in Scotland. Always sheltered and waited upon, Cassie finds traveling on her own difficult. As the weather deteriorates, she becomes stranded at an inn. Desperate to depart, Cassie makes a poor decision that inadvertently entangles her with a man on the run from Russian Cossacks.

Devlyn St. Clair serves his country as a spy. His twin brother is the heir to the title and should become the Duke of Hastings. A terrible injustice occurs leaving his brother murdered by his Russian enemies. Devlyn seeks revenge ignoring the fact that his actions might border on treason. Devlyn receives no support from his father, only threats to disinherit him. With no help, Devlyn races through the countryside toward Scotland, carrying a secret journal to his superior.

Stumbling upon a naΓ―ve young woman, Devlyn flees with her when the Russians believe she's associated with him. With the Russians in pursuit, Cassie and Devlyn run for their lives. Cassie learns quickly and shocks Devlyn with her unexpected insight and knowledge. Dislike changes into respect and passion. Cassie and Devlyn fight together to tear through the web of deceit and find evidence to convict his enemy.

Ms. Thomas keeps getting better and better. WILD AND WICKED IN SCOTLAND is a page-turner packed with intrigue, adventure and passion. The vividly drawn characters are the perfect odd couple to keep readers glued to the pages.

SUMMARY

When Cassandra Sheridan agreed to an arranged marriage to
the Earl of Hampstead, she never dreamed the cad wouldn't
even bother to appear for their betrothal ball. It seems
her intended cares more for gallivanting than meeting his
bride-to-be! So Cassie decides to enjoy an adventure of her
own and sets out across Scotland…and meets a dashing
stranger who has elevated dueling and deception to an art
form.

A dedicated spy on a mission, the Earl of Hampstead has
more on his mind than a silly party. Now fate has thrown
him together with a vivacious lady whom he must protect
from harm, and whose sensuous beauty is proving most
distracting. Worse still, Devlyn is horrified to discover
she's the very woman he's engaged to marry!

With their lives and reputations in equal peril, do they
dare surrender to their irresistible desires?
