Dubbed the "Yankee Ice Princess," Cassandra Sheridan
arrives at her betrothal ball only to discover her fiancé
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 naïve 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.
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?
