The Wickedness of a Highlander

by Elisa Braden

Overview

An angel in freefall
A year ago, Sabella Lockhart lived in sheltered gentility as the sister of a Scottish lord. Then her brother's shocking crimes came to light, leaving her with nothing but horrifying memories, unpayable debts, and a blackened name. Before she leaves Scotland for good, she must face the family he harmed most: the MacPhersons. But when a Highland robbery takes everything but the gown on her back, she's forced to accept help from the MacPherson who despises her more than any other. The one man she can't forget.

A devil who burns for revenge
Alexander MacPherson hasn't forgotten Sabella Lockhart for a single bloody moment. She's the reason he was shot, the reason he endured a hellish recovery, the reason he hasn't slept soundly in a year. So, when she turns up stranded and penniless in the village tavern, he offers her a position-as his maid. Let her dirty those pristine hands scrubbing floors. Let her earn those silk gowns one shilling at a time. Nothing could be more satisfying than having her sleeping under his roof and following his commands. Ruthless? Absolutely. But that's the catch in a deal with the devil. He always takes more than his due.

A collision between heaven and hell
When Sabella rises to his challenge, her fire brings Alexander to his knees. But she doesn't know how ruthlessly he'll fight to keep an angel by his side. Or how dangerous a devil can be when the woman he wants more than air and whisky is threatened by a past that won't stay buried.

About the Author

Reading romance novels came easily to Elisa Braden. She's been doing it since she was twelve. Writing them? That took a little longer. After graduating with degrees in creative writing and history, Elisa spent entirely too many years in "real" jobs, writing T-shirt copy . . . and other people's resumes . . . and articles about giftware displays. But that was before she woke up and started dreaming about the very unreal job of being a romance novelist. Frankly, she figures better late than never. Elisa lives in the gorgeous Pacific Northwest, where you're constitutionally required to like the colors green and gray. Good thing she does. Other items on the "like" list include cute dogs, strong coffee, and epic movies. Of course, her favorite thing of all is hearing from readers who love her characters as much as she does.

Ruth Urquhart is a professional narrator, actor, and producer with over twenty years of experience in theater, film, television, and education. She has toured internationally and appeared in the Irish sitcom Give My Head Peace. When not narrating, she runs her own theater company. Born and raised in Scotland, she currently resides with her partner, two children, and their animals in Yorkshire, England.
