He's the only man she can trust...but should she? Craig Oliphant is known for his brawn, not his brains, but he is proud of who he is and what he's accomplished. Leaving his years working the smithy behind, he's finally passed the tests to become a trusted member of the King's Hunters and assigned a mission which can bring him cartloads of glory. Or drive him mad-one of the two. Lady Elspeth Sinclair is in dire need of a bodyguard: not for her, but for her children. Her husband's death left her nine-year-old son not just the next Laird Sinclair, but also the Earl of Dungotit...and someone wants him dead. The huge Hunter assigned to her family might be able to keep them safe, but no one warned her that after years of horror in the marriage bed, Craig might be the one to rekindle surprising feelings. But should a widow engage in such goings-on with her bodyguard, especially since they come from such different worlds? Obviously. Warning: So many shenanigans! Get ready for some super-hot, laugh-out-loud adventures in this third addition to the Kilty Pleasures series!

Well, are they married, or aren't they? And does it matter? When Payton MacIntyre, quiet King's Hunter, is sent to an Abbey to challenge the bandits threatening the land, he doesn't expect to ride away with a wife. In fact, he's still not convinced he's actually married to the intriguing Flora, but that's what he tells his family to escape their seasonal nagging-him-about-marriage session. But what will this new wife of his think when he finally removes his helmet and exposes his hideously scarred visage? Desperate to escape the cruel Abbot and find her missing younger brother, Flora goes along with the phony marriage...she just doesn't expect the Hunter to treat her so kindly. He might be reluctant to show his face, but his soft words-and softer touches-leave her breathless. And when he defends her to his family while searching for her brother, Flora falls even more in love. But Yule is approaching, and Flora's growing contentment is threatened by an old danger. Is her acceptance of Payton-and his belief in her love-enough to clear this threat from the Highlands, or will the new year bring a truth which will destroy them?

He's a rake, a rogue, and a charmer...until one mission changes it all. As one of the King's Hunters-an elite group of Highland lawmen charged with keeping the peace-Barclay is used to lasses throwing themselves at him, despite the helmet he wears on all missions. He doesn't mind the attention in the least...until he's assigned to track down the runaway daughter of one of His Majesty's supporters, and meets a woman who shouldn't be charmed. Lady Grace MacDonald is determined not to marry the man her father has chosen for her. She may look fragile and sweet, but she has reserves of strength Barclay is about to discover. Right after he pulls her out of the bog she's landed in. Nay, not a metaphor; an actual bog has just stolen her left shoe! Grace might be livid the mysterious, helmed Hunter is planning to return her home, but she still has a few more days to savor her freedom...and Barclay is just the one to teach her about the world. The problem? For the first time ever, Barclay is uncertain he should be seducing a lady like her! But why, even when he's dragging her back to marry another man, does she make him feel like a hero?

What is the price of her innocence? Miss Olivia Wilson is desperate, and desperate women do daring things. No, not the time she ventured into the East End alone after dark-and had to be rescued by a tall, dark mysterious stranger-but she's willing to do just about anything to save her family's newspaper. When her biggest investor pulls his funding, she confronts him, willing to become his mistress if that's what it will take. He might not speak, but she can't deny his dark and dangerous appeal, and there would be worse hardships than becoming a fascinating duke's plaything. But...marriage? Alistair Kincaid, the Duke of Effinghell, would rather chew nails than allow Society an opportunity to mock him for his silence. Instead, he uses his days-and nights-protecting others without voices. He might need a wife, but he isn't going find one at a ball or musicale or other bit of nonsense. Then he realizes the daring beauty currently berating him in his study is exactly what he needs; her desperation will allow him the upper hand in his bargain, and her curves make his inexperienced palms itch to stroke her. But this marriage of convenience is about to become complicated, as Olivia's newspaper unravels past mysteries and Alistair's ridiculous family gets involved. To save his inconvenient wife-again-he'll have to confront his deepest fears and lure a villain into the open. Olivia's daring might just mean disaster for them all! Warning: Contents are HOT. If you can relate to a curvy, clumsy, well-meaning and audacious heroine, who thinks the right path is always full steam ahead, then Alistair will be your new book boyfriend... Promise!

How did she end up make-believe married to the Grump Next Door? Spinster scientist Felicity Montrose has always been as curious as one of her pet cats. So when her dark and dangerous neighbor catches her breaking into his house, her body's reactions to his manhandling raises all sorts of interesting questions. Unfortunately, the irritating man refuses to help her in her experiments to replicate these titillating sensations. Blast. Griffin Calderbank is well aware that his enticing next-door neighbor is a lady, and thus so far off-limits she might as well be in Scotland. A man like him, a man who spent years fighting for his life and surviving with his fists, needs to focus on keeping his family safe. She's a dangerous distraction he can't afford, no matter how tantalizing her offer might be. His hands-off policy is working well, right up until their children enter them into a contest to give him a chance at the inheritance long denied him. The only catch? He'll have to pretend to be a happy husband to the odd, but oh-so-tempting Miss Montrose. And this time, when she makes him a scandalous bargain, there's no point in refusing. After all, she is his wife, right? For a short time at least. Soon, however, it's not just a dukedom on the line, but the very future of the country, as a hunt for a traitor turns deadly. How can he be expected to concentrate on such stakes when there's a brilliant, quirky scientist in his bed, offering him her cooperation in exchange for satisfying her...curiosity? Warning: If sinful bargains, nerdy heroines and gruff heroes aren't your thing, you're in the wrong place.

The battle to determine the next laird comes down to this fierce moment...the Oliphant brothers sitting around, drinking ale, while their wives go into labor. After finishing his studies to become a doctor, Graham followed the woman he loved to Oliphant Castle and discovered-among other things-that he was not the fatherless, family-less bastard he'd always assumed. Well, he was still a bastard, but now he was an Oliphant bastard; he had father who loved him, and six brother who cared as fiercely as they fought. He'd found a home. And he might've been happy, had Davina MacKinnon been allowed to share it with him. But her grandfather has never seen him as good enough for her, or the future of the MacKinnon clan, and despite her sister's marriage to one of Graham's brothers, Davina was dragged away. But now she's returned to be with her sister during her confinement, and Graham-being a medical man-has been called back to Oliphant Castle as well, to help with all the bairns about to be born. Whichever Oliphant wife births the laird's first grandson will ensure her husband becomes the next laird, so the stakes are high...But none so high as Graham and Davina's. Between the bairns popping out left and right (seriously, this is getting ridiculous), they've got to find a way to convince her grandfather they deserve to be together. Luckily, there's a way to distract the old man, and the Ghostly Drummer of Oliphant Castle might just make a comeback...Warning: Contains anachronistic medical knowledge, rather a lot of madcap hijinks, a few really naughty bits, and more laugh-out-loud moments than you can shake a stick at, were you the kind to shake sticks at things. Check out the grand finale to this hilariously sexy series everyone's talking about!

As a member of the Queen's Angels-an elite trio of secret agents, masquerading as ladies-in-waiting to Queen Elizabeth Bruce-Melisandre Lamond has a most useful skill: Seduction. Mayhap 'tis her ability to understand others' desires, or mayhap a result of the hidden trauma she's never shared; whatever the root, Mellie has become skilled in the art of love, and knows all the right ways to get a man to spill all his...secrets. After an assassination attempt on the Queen, all evidence points to the Frasers of Lovat, surely under orders from their new laird, the deceptively handsome Lachlan Fraser. But even Mellie is surprised when the Queen announces her betrothal to the traitor, wondering how far her loyalty to the Crown really extends. Can she tempt Lachlan into revealing his treasonous plans, before she's forced to actually marry the man? After the Scottish War for Independence, all Lachlan Fraser wants for his clan is peace. He's happy working with his hands, building a strong future for his family and his beloved daughter. But duty calls him to Scone, where he's surprised to learn of his betrothal to one of the Queen's ladies...the very knife-wielding wench who'd so recently saved him from a cutpurse's attack!He'll marry her, aye, but Lachlan vows to uncover Lady Melisandre's enigmas first! Because once he gets her home, and sees the way she effortlessly wins over his daughter and the rest of the Frasers, he begins to suspect she's not really the cold and haughty lady she's pretending to be. Can this mis-matched betrothed pair learn each other's secrets before the assassin strikes again?

Everyone in the Highlands knows three things about the Sutherland laird: 1) He's got more bastards than he can count.2) He's already buried three wives.3) He's the very Devil himself. Which is why, when Saffy-one of the Sinclair Jewels-finds evidence that her family's missing brooch is in the Sutherland Devil's possession, she's certain she's taking her life into her own hands to reclaim it. She's the scholar in the family, not the warrior...but how hard could it be to don a pair of braies, lop off her hair, and approach the Sutherlands as a lad? She hadn't planned on being accused of spying and thrown into the dungeons to starve! Merrick Sutherland is harried from all sides: his alliances are falling apart, his children are adorable monsters, and his illegitimate brother has declared war in an attempt to claim his title. The last thing he needs is a distraction in the form of a lippy little cross-dresser, but that's what he gets when he drags his new prisoner up from the dungeons. Is she a spy? The best way to learn her secrets is to keep her close, so Merrick makes "Saf" his squire, without revealing what he's already learned. Thrust into a sensual game of wits with her new master, Saffy is surprised to learn that what everyone knows about him isn't quite true. As his squire, she's in a prime position to search for the missing Sinclair jewels, and she's willing to go through the very Devil himself to find them. But will she lose her heart in the process? Warning: Scorching hot Highlander romance! (This book is a re-release of a 2019 book with the same title.)

She's gone over the river and through the woods, but who will protect her from the Big Bad Wolf? Rojita is in trouble; all she needs to do is get her grandfather's will to Abuela in Everland, but she's being chased by El Lobo, one of the West's most notorious gunslingers. It isn't until she's thrown herself head-long into danger that she realizes the old adage about frying pans and fires applies. She's in desperate need of a protector, and hires the first man who comes along to get her safely to Everland. Bounty hunter Hank Cutter is more than ready to retire to a lonely little cabin in Arizona, to hang up his gun and find peace. He'll begrudgingly help the reckless young woman get to the nearest train station, because he figures she'd get into even more trouble on her own. But when El Lobo struts back into his life-Hank still has the scars from their last encounter-he knows that he can't leave Rojita at the gunslinger's mercy. Maybe he's nobler than he'd thought, because he's soon setting a trap to save the lovely, impetuous Red. The only problem is that she's still keeping a secret that could destroy his trust. ************************************************ The Brides of Everland, Ever After Step into Everland, Wyoming, where the people on the street are more than what they appear, and there's just a hint of magic in the air.

Love is a luxury he can't afford... For years, he was known only as Blackrose's Blade, an elite assassin in the employ of the Crown. But after a mission cost him the use of his leg, Rourke Lindsay has unexpectedly inherited a dukedom...and along with it, the headache of a pair of hellion twins. His niece and nephew have been kicked out of every school he's sent them to and scared off every governess he's hired. Now, he's in dire need of a miracle. He just didn't expect her to be quite so tempting. Needing a safe place to hide, Miss Sophia Cuny has forged her references and settled into the Duke of Exingham's employ, unwilling to admit she knows next to nothing about children. (How hard can child-rearing be, after all? Perhaps there's a book on the subject she could send off for.) She does, however, know all about the Duke's painful past and why the cynical warrior refuses to allow himself close to a pair of rapscallion troublemakers, no matter how desperately they need his love. The longer she tries to avoid the new duke, the more she sees the man beneath the scars-the man who needs love as well-even if he's unwilling to admit it. Too bad she can't afford to allow him into her heart, even as the danger she's running from closes in. Because Sophia possesses secrets about his past even Rourke doesn't know, and revealing the truth will ruin them all. Warning: There are a lot of spicy bits and plenty of laugh-out-loud moments!

Lady Robena Oliphant loves two things in life: her piping and Laird Kester MacBain. Unfortunately, it seems she is destined to have neither. The prestigious piping competition at the Highland Games is open only to men...and Kester has conveniently forgotten to mention he's betrothed to someone else. The jerk.

Alistair Oliphant has devoted his entire life to his clan's well-being. As one of the laird's bastard sons, he's determined to prove his worth by managing the Oliphants' correspondence, alliances, land stewardship, trading schedules, and about a million other-boring-aspects of keeping a busy Highland clan going. When his father declares whichever of his sons marries and produces a son first will become the next laird, Alistair figures his destiny has finally arrived. The only problem is...he just doesn't have the time to find a wife. Luckily, he doesn't have to, because right under his oblivious nose, is a woman who is ready and willing, and just waiting to hit him over the head with her long-time crush. Lara Oliphant has grown up with the Oliphant bastards, but as their best friend's younger sister, none of them have given her a second look. Which is a shame, because she's done quite a lot of looking herself when it came to Alistair. And as a result of Lara's embarrassingly voyeuristic lifestyle, she's decided she's the only one who can set the poor man straight. Or rather...not straight. If Alistair got any straighter, she could shove a wick up his arse and call him a candle. What he needs is someone to show him how to bend, how to relax...how to have a little fun. And Lara is just the woman to do it. Assuming she can convince him to see her as a woman, that is!Warning: Full of naughty shenanigans and ridiculous jokes, and more than a few eye-rollingly bad puns. Come for the spicy bits, stay for the humor. Welcome to another installment of the hilarious Hots for Scots series!

Lady Wynda Oliphant is certain her father's latest scheme to get her married won't work, because it's complete nonsense. And if Wynda knows anything, it's how to be logical when dealing with her family, her inventions, or even those annoying ghosts who keep pestering her. But there's one thing that just isn't logical: the breathless, aching way Pherson Ross makes her feel. As the Oliphant falconer, Pherson commands some respect within the clan, but he much prefers the solitude of his cottage, with just his raptors and his daughter for company. Wee Wren is the only reason he's trying so hard to make a life here among the Oliphants, and if they realized what exactly he was hiding from, they'd be sure to abhor him. Aye, 'tis best to keep his head down, his talons furled, and his daggers ready. This is working fine, until the laird's daughter falls-quite literally-into his lap. Now they're working together to help Wren learn how to walk again, and Pherson knows 'tis a bad idea to allow Wynda any closer to his heart. She's bossy and smart and has a tendency to talk to ghosts-which is ridiculous-but she makes him want to be a better man. With her brilliant smiles and equally brilliant mind, is there any way he can stop falling for her? When danger finally catches up with him, he'll do anything to protect his daughter and the woman he's come to love . . . even if that means turning himself over to the law. Warning: you'd better tell your old book boyfriend that Pherson will make you consider cheating! Get ready for another sidesplitting romp through medieval Scotland with a brainy heroine, a desperately broody Highlander, an adorable little lassie, and more ridiculousness from this hilarious clan!

They can't stand the thought of handsome, newly arrived Doctor Jack Carpenter raising his precious little daughter all by himself, and they're determined to find him a suitable wife. Luckily, they know just how to do it: take out an advertisement in a Mail-Order Bride catalog, and make sure that the perfect candidate sees it. Too bad they didn't mention the plan to Jack first.

For several years, the town of Black Aces, Montana has been under the control of a nasty piece of work, Mr. Augustus King.
