Jean MacDonald should have been a Lady and marry a man
worthy of her unfortunately, tragedy struck her life and
she had to leave her past behind her and begin anew with a
new identity. The new identity includes an occupation as a
maid for a castle that in Jean's previous life she would
have been the mistress of. Jean tries to not let her past
haunt her while hunting the ghosts of the castle. One night
siting very quietly waiting for a ghost to show herself
Jean is discovered by a handsome mysterious man. Jean
quickly learns he is the Earl and her new employer. Jean
tries to hide in the background and work hard but during
the nights of her continual ghost hunting Jean repeatedly
encounters the earl.
After being humiliated in London and all over England for
that matter Morgan MacCraig has decided it's time to go
home. His reputation is in tatters but he is still an Earl
and he resolves to return to his castle in the Highlands to
begin anew, preferably never returning to society again.
After an exhausting journey Morgan longs for his bed and a
long sleep. Morgan knows he is arriving earlier than the
staff plans but he knows he will find his chambers ready,
what he isn't expecting is to bump into a feisty maid.
Morgan begins to settle into his home but this maid, Jean
fascinates him and he finds that he enjoys talking with her
while she hunts the legendary ghosts of the castle.
Morgan and Jean are both mystified by the attraction they
share and both understand that it is unseemly for an
Earl and maid to be caught alone. Even though the last
thing Morgan wants is more scandal and Jean wants no, needs
to keep her true identity a secret they are unable to stay
away from each other until they are truly caught. Now what
can they do? Will Morgan put aside his honor and "do the
right thing", if Morgan does offer for Jean will she,
she accept?
A SCANDALOUS SCOT is a delightfully, wickedly fun
escapade. Morgan is the epitome of a dark handsome
highlander. Morgan is strong, honorable and downright
delectable. Even though this reader loves a sexy highlander
I found that my favorite character was Jean. This reader
as I'm sure many others do understands what it is like to
not "fit in". Jean was raised a proper lady trained to be
cordial, quiet and pleasing. Then her circumstances change
and she has to become a maid whose duty is to do a job but
be invisible. Jean is constantly battling the two
identifies and fails beautifully in both. Neither "role"
suits her. Jean is strong, independent and speaks her mind
and that's just the way Morgan likes her. A SCANDALOUS
SCOT is a scrumptious morsel that this reader will
undoubtedly devour again and again
After four long years, Morgan MacCraig has finally returned
to the Highlands of his birth . . . with his honor in
shreds. After a scandal, all he wants now is solace-yet
peace is impossible to find with the castle's outspoken new
maid trying his patience, challenging his manhood . . . and
winning his love, body and soul.
Jean MacDonald wants to leave her past behind and start
anew, but Ballindair Castle, a Scottish estate rumored to be
haunted, hasn't been the safe haven she envisioned.
Ballindair's ancestral ghosts aren't as fascinating as
Morgan, the most magnificent man she's ever seen. Though
their passion triggers a fresh scandal that could force them
to wed, Jean must first share the secrets of her own
past-secrets that could force them apart, or be the
beginning of a love and redemption unlike anything they've
ever known.
