Devil's Moon

by Amanda Scott

Overview

A WARRIOR'S PROMISE

The last place Sir David "Devil" Ormiston expected his moonlight chase of a horse thief to end was in a lady's bedchamber. He is shocked to find that the raider he has pursued is no man, but a defiant beauty in disguise-and the woman he's vowed to protect at all costs. Face to face with a girl Dev thought he knew, the ever confident, marriage-resistant knight may learn that he is defenseless against the desirable woman she has become. A LADY'S SECRET

Lady Robina Gledstanes will do anything to keep her family's land out of the hands of her greedy kinsmen-except willingly submit to the handsome, cocksure Devil Ormiston. Dev's help may be just as dangerous as the threats lurking outside her castle. But when enemies scheme to steal the castle's treasure, Robina must risk losing something even more precious-her heart.

From the Publisher

04/15/2015
Headstrong Lady Robina Gledstanes's twin brother, the laird, is killed in battle, and his best friend Sir David Ormiston (aka "Devil" Ormiston) is sent to Coklaw Castle to act as warden until their younger brother, the new laird, comes of age. Robby expects the fiery clashes that follow—but not the reluctant love that flares to life between her and Dev. An abundance of kinfolk—meddling and otherwise—a long-buried treasure, lively verbal sparring, and the heroine's psychic connection to her twin add zing to this vivid romance that provides an exceptional sense of time and place. VERDICT A fiercely independent heroine and a loyal, protective hero choose each other amid the turmoil of 15th-century Scotland in this beautifully rendered blend of history and romance. Scott (Moonlight Raider) lives in Folsom, CA.
