      <image:caption>"Come, lass. Get on a plane with me." Mathilda A Highlander walks into a bar... My father's conference, to be exact. The Scot is huge, overbearing, and his gaze sets me on fire. He wants to take me home to see his mighty tower. I'm tempted. I really am. Except I just had a proposal from someone else. One that could give me everything I wanted. Apart from love. But when did I ever have a need for that? Callum I know what I want when I see it, and I'd move mountains for the lass with a whip-smart mind and killer legs. But I came here to reclaim a debt. The man who screwed me over put my castle on the line. My ancestral home where I raised three brothers. I cannae let that lie. If it means storming his party, then so be it.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“With my foot to the accelerator of a stolen vehicle, I kidnapped an unconscious heir.” Beth I know, I know. Running a guy over isn’t the best way to get his attention, but in my defence, my driving skills are all I really have. And impressing the tall, dark, mysterious man who barely speaks was far too tempting to pass up. Except women like me don’t get to date earls. I’m not what he needs. I grew up in foster care, he was raised in a palace. No matter the power of our heated looks, or how much my blood surges whenever he’s around, whatever we have will be short-lived. Heartbreak is all I’ve ever known. He’s welcome to the pieces. James I never cared about who I’d marry, only that I had to walk the aisle before I was twenty-one or lose my inheritance. Then a tiny, wild-haired beauty pulled a stunt that sent my heart into overdrive, and my pulse hasn’t slowed since. She had no idea a car wreck scarred my body and stole my family. She couldn’t know that from one kiss, I’d be all but in love. I’d saved my virginity for a marriage I didn’t value. Now Beth is in my sights, I finally know what I want, even if loving her means losing everything.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"Sit tight, lass. I'll find ye." Ella I always pictured my brother's best friend to be impressive--after all, he's a military helicopter pilot whose job is to save people. Then he appears in front of me and my assumptions fly out of the window. Tattoos on muscles. Grey eyes and a sexy smirk. A Scottish accent to die for. And what's more? He's here to rescue me from my uncle's clutches. My poor sheltered heart stands no chance. Gordain At seventeen, there's no way this lass is right for me. She's my best friend's sister and five years younger than me. But she's gorgeous. Confident. A musician who plays a violin like it's a part of her. I've been shot down in a war zone but nothing makes my heart beat so fast as Ella. Then she gets the news that in order to inherit, she needs to be wed. How can I fake-marry someone I truly care about?</image:caption>

      <image:title>Marry the Scot series - Picture This (Marry the Scot, #4)</image:title>
      <image:caption>The only man she loves is the Scot she can’t have. Taylor has lived with threats and blackmail her entire life. Either she behaves like the perfect, dutiful daughter, or gives up her most desperate wish. With her father’s election on the horizon, the pressure is on to appear as the all-American family, including her marrying the son of the next president. Her final month of freedom could be her last chance of happiness. Wasp has worked hard, building his name as a photographer, but he’s never forgotten the woman who first stole his heart. At a red-carpet photo shoot, his pulse races when he sees Taylor. No way does he expect her to be naked in his room within the hour. One hot kiss leads to an indecent proposal and a cross-European bucket list tour. But Wasp is no longer the boy Taylor once knew. The clock might be ticking, but her hot Scot has his own plans. Even if he has to choose between love and his career. The heat between them is enough to set the world alight, or burn everything they care about.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Being on the run leaves no time for distractions. Unless your new boss is alpha, Scottish, and built Autumn has taken her baby nephew and is fleeing for their lives. Almost reaching the safety of a small wintery Washington State town, she narrowly avoids a collision as her car spins out on ice. The other driver is a huge mountain man who speaks only in glares. The instant attraction is like nothing she has experienced, but she isn't hanging around, no matter the enticement to stay. Bull will never trust again, certainly not a single mother with secrets. But he can't stop the draw. Autumn's sass drives him to distraction, her body has him burning up. Working side by side with her at his bar every day is enough to awaken his protective side once again. But the past will always catch up with you, no matter how far you run or who you fall in love with on the way. Come the Fall features one hot alpha male and one strong heroine, and is a novella in the Marry the Scot world. Autumn features in Hero but this novella is entirely standalone.

      <image:caption>“I’m meant to be checking over your arm,” I said, twisting to give him better access. “Then check. I’m not stopping you.” His next kiss landed higher, just below my ear. “But while you do it, tell me about the arsehole who ye kissed last.” “That’s bothering you?” “Aye.” I rolled up his t-shirt sleeve, trying to concentrate while Gordain continued his distraction technique. “He was just a boy I barely knew. It was my first kiss, and a bad one.” In the dim lamplight, a red-and-black bruise spread over his shoulder. There were no cuts that I could see, but it must hurt. I sucked in a breath. “We should put something on that.” He made a sound of disagreement. “Kiss me again. I won’t remember my own name, let alone that wee dent.” I brought my gaze to meet his, suddenly unsure again. I was on his lap, and he wanted me to lead. Should I…move? “That first kiss,” Gordain murmured. “It was also your only kiss, aye?” I gave a self-depreciating grumble. “Then practice some more on me. Grind, even. I don’t mind.” With one finger, he lifted my chin. “Don’t overthink it. Your kiss sends me wild. Try it again. That’s all we’re going to do, so take your time and make it good.” Read on…</image:caption>

      <image:title>McRae Estate Tour</image:title>
      <image:caption>Castle McRae can first be glimpsed as you drive the loch road, before you pass by the tall stone gateposts that mark the McRae estate. With a mountain soaring behind, the centuries-old building makes an imposing sight in the dramatic Scottish landscape. But there’s a sense of friendliness to it too, with its ramshackle shape and constant activity. Someone is always home. The fire in the Great Hall constantly burns. There’s ever space for visitors.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>A ten-minute drive through the thick pine forest to the left takes you to Braithar. Gordain’s refuge. Ella’s gift. Set with a river winding before it, Braithar is prettier than Castle McRae with corner turrets and even stonework. More importantly, it’s a happy home to the laird and his kin. Also to Ella’s recording studio.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Dark Island Scots - Ruin (Dark Island Scots, #1)</image:title>
      <image:caption>I wanted him. He wanted to ruin me. It was the blood I noticed first. Running down the neck of the man on the ferry. Then his bruised knuckles, dark eyes, and arrogant smirk. The handcuffs came last. No one else paid him attention, but I couldn’t look away. Or deny my instant lust. I had no idea he was being imprisoned on the remote, dark Scottish island I knew well. Or that he’d been kidnapped, not arrested. I went from that naïve girl on the boat, dreaming of stolen kisses, to the one who held the key to his prison cell. When heat turns to hate, all that’s left is ruin. -- Ruin (Dark Island Scots, #1) is a new adult romance with dark themes, including angst, lust-to-hate-to-love, and lost innocence. This series will be deeply interconnected, so expect the occasional wicked cliffhanger. It'll be well worth the heart palpitations. Lose yourself in Ruin. Note: Struan is the man Max is hunting in Betrayed (Wild Mountain Scots, #4). There might be McRae sightings in RUIN.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Dark Island Scots - Sin (Dark Island Scots, #2)</image:title>
      <image:caption>He was dangerous, but the real sin was mine. Sinclair was my secret obsession.  The one I dreamed of in a homelife filled with violence and pain.  It was Sin’s darkness that saved me, wrapping its way around my heart until it beat only for him. I helped him escape his island prison.  He asked me to leave with him. But my mother is pregnant, and I won’t let another child be raised in that house of horrors.  The only way to free her is to betray the man I want and the family he’s creating. Love is impossible when my only option is to sin. -- Sin (Dark Island Scots, #2) continues the story started in Ruin (Dark Island Scots, #1). This is Sinclair and Lottie’s romance, so expect exquisite and seductive scenes, a plus-sized heroine and her much bigger hero, and an insidious mystery threatening our tribe of found family.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Dark Island Scots - Scar (Dark Island Scots, #3)</image:title>
      <image:caption>A scar tore his face. Mine would carve his heart.   I’d do anything to save my missing sister, even sell my body to the highest bidder.  Until he steals me from my buyer’s mansion. Camden rescued me, but he won’t let me walk away. Especially when I discover he’s my buyer’s son.  And the strange thing? I can’t even be angry at the sweet, gentle, scarred Scotsman for the terrible thing he did.  Chasing after me will hurt him. And loving him will only leave me with scars.  — Scar is the third episode in the wildly popular Dark Island Scots series. As with the previous brothers’ stories, this is darkly delicious and may raise eyebrows. Check the note inside the book for warnings. Remember Camden is a tattoo artist? Just wait and see where he lays down his…skills. Let Camden and Breeze leave you emotionally scarred!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Dark Island Scots - Burn (Dark Island Scots, #4)</image:title>
      <image:caption>I’d wreck his life. For mine, he’d burn down the world. Jamieson was my penpal. My first crush. My surf-crazy, impulsive, pyro boy, and the secret I kept from the world. Until he broke us up before we ever met. When I discover he’s been imprisoned by an evil man, saving him becomes my only goal. Except his enemy wants me too. He was fire and water. With him, I’d either drown or burn.   -- Burn (Dark Island Scots, #4) brings this smexy and thrilling series to a breathtaking finish. This is Jamieson and Summer’s romance, so expect fiercely passionate scenes between a plus-sized heroine and her fire-loving, reckless hero. With nothing left to lose, our tribe of found family have to risk it all to end the war against them. Please note this series contains darker themes.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Er ist der Leiter des Bergrettung. Und sie muss vielleicht nur gerettet werden.   Lochie Zu lange bin ich schon einsam. Es gibt nur mich und meine Tochter. Ihre Sicherheit ist das Allerwichtigste, und da kommt mir ein Job in den abgelegenen schottischen Highlands wie gerufen. Mehr brauche ich eigentlich nicht. Aber eine Frau lenkt mich zunehmend ab. Cait McRae ist klug, hübsch und wohnt direkt nebenan, aber sie macht mir klar, dass sie nicht an mir interessiert ist. Jeder verstohlene Blick erzählt eine andere Geschichte. Ich kann mich nur schwer beherrschen, sie nicht über meine Schulter zu werfen und sie zu mir nach Hause zu nehmen. Cait behauptet vielleicht, sie wolle es beim Körperlichen belassen, aber ich weiß, dass sie sich täuscht. Sie gehört mir. Vorausgesetzt, die Leute, die uns beide verfolgen, zerstören nicht, was wir beide gefunden haben. Cait Ich weiß schon immer, dass ich anders bin. Noch nie zuvor ist mir jemand ins Auge gestochen. Bis ein großer, finster dreinblickender Mann nebenan einzieht. Er ist der neue Leiter des Bergrettungsdienstes und alleinerziehender Vater eines süßen kleinen Mädchens. Es stellt sich heraus, dass ich ein Spätzünder bin, denn ich kann nur an Lochie denken. Doch jemand hat es auf mich abgesehen. Eine Reihe von seltsamen Ereignissen lässt nur einen Rückschluss zu. Ich habe einen Stalker, und die Gefahr, in der ich mich befinde, hat gerade erst begonnen. --   Triff die grüblerischen, harten, beschützerischen Männer der Bergrettung und die schönen Frauen, die ihre Herzen zähmen.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Er ist ein verwundeter Held, der heilen muss. Sie wird erpresst.   Elise Ich bin nach Schottland geflohen, nachdem mich ein Vorfall an einem Filmset schwer getroffen hat.

Dann habe ich seine zerschrammten Knöchel, seine dunklen Augen und sein arrogantes Grinsen gesehen. Die Handschellen sah ich zuletzt. Niemand sonst hat ihn beachtet, doch ich konnte einfach nicht wegsehen. Oder mein sofortiges Verlangen verleugnen. Ich wusste nicht, dass er auf der abgelegenen, düsteren schottischen Insel, die ich nur zu gut kannte, gefangen gehalten wurde. Ich wusste auch nicht, dass er entführt und nicht verhaftet worden war. Ich wurde von dem naiven Mädchen auf der Fähre, das von heimlichen Küssen träumte, zu der Frau, die den Schlüssel zu seiner Gefängniszelle hatte. Wenn Leidenschaft zu Hass wird, bleibt nur noch der Ruin. -- Ruin (Dark Island Scots, #1) ist ein New-Adult-Liebesroman für Erwachsene mit düsteren Themen wie Angst, verbotenes Verlangen, Hass und verlorener Unschuld.

      <image:title>Body Count - Arran’s Obsession (Body Count, #1)</image:title>
      <image:caption>I never planned to fall for my skeleton-masked captor, but now there’s no turning back. I hated the gangs that ruled my city. After my friend was killed and my father vanished, I had no choice but to infiltrate one to figure out why. Entering their infamous club quickly showed me I was in over my head. Then the most feared gang leader took an interest in me. Arran was corrupt, deadly, and his searing gaze both terrified and tempted me. In my search for answers, I stumbled into his dark and dangerous game. The result? I belonged to him, with no chance of escape. In a heartbeat, I became Arran’s obsession. And in a terrible twist, I think he’s becoming mine. -- Arran’s Obsession is the first book in an interconnected dark romance trilogy featuring a murder mystery, a dark city, an adult entertainment club, and a crew of men who are possessive over what’s theirs. Tropes: - A masked gang and an adult club - Possessive, damaged men - Dangerous play (including free use and predator/- prey) - Forced proximity - Set entirely at night Check the TWs in the front of the book or on my website if you need to (the list is as long as … it should be, dirty girl).</image:caption>

      <image:title>Body Count - Connor’s Claim (Body Count, #2)</image:title>
      <image:caption>I tried everything to get his attention, but I invited in a monster. After facing a threat to my life, I found myself kidnapped and locked away by the skeleton crew’s enforcer. Connor is feared. Respected. And obsessed with me. He controls everything, right down to my pleasure. His rules dictate what I can and can’t touch. When I can and can’t wear clothes. What’s strange is how happy I am. From the outside, my old life appeared perfect, but my father’s iron grip had suffocated me. Now, in the hands of my captor, I can finally breathe. With the body count racking up in Deadwater, I never want to leave my masked man’s protection. Even if caring for me might cause his downfall. Without realising it, I’ve become Connor’s claim. But how long can it last when the secrets I keep threaten us both? -- Connor’s Claim is the second book in the interconnected dark romance Body Count trilogy, featuring a murder mystery and a crew who will do anything to keep their women. Tropes: The unhinged tattooed enforcer and the mayor’s daughter Dangerous play (including BC tampering) Somno Forced proximity Throat tattoo, stabby implements, and something pierced As with Arran’s book, check the TWs if you need to (the list is still just as long as … it should be, dirty girl).</image:caption>

      <image:title>Body Count - Riordan’s Revenge (Body Count, #3)</image:title>
      <image:caption>I was a walking red flag, but that skeleton-masked man was mine. I always knew I was different—my obsession with catching Deadwater’s murderer with my Skeleton Girls Detective Agency, my hunger to hunt predators with my steel sharp and my manicure perfect. And now, my dangerous instalove for the skeleton crew’s new recruit. Riordan, with his tousled dark hair and striking green eyes, would be wise to run far from me. But it was infatuation at first sight, and there’s nothing I won’t do to keep him close. Even if it means risking everything. Yet love isn't simple for someone like me. If Riordan dared to love me back, the scars of my past could surface, and in the chaos, I might become his greatest threat. Until then, I’m ready to help him take down his enemies, to share his battle and make his revenge my own. But the murderer still haunts the city, and whatever happiness we find together is under threat. How can I keep us both safe when the next name on the killer’s list is mine? -- Riordan’s Revenge is the final installment of the Body Count dark romance, murder mystery series that shot to #1 on Amazon in the US and Canada and has become an international bestseller. The Skeleton Girls Detective Agency’s guessing game concludes in this thrilling finale of the trilogy. Tropes: The mafia princess and the biker thief Girl obsessed High spice levels with punishment play She’s a killer in training He has a revenge mission of his own This series has a number of TWs so please review those if you need to.

      <image:title>Body Count - You wanted more of the game from Body Count? You’ve got it. The Game: The Surgeon and the MMA Fighter (a Body Count novella)</image:title>
      <image:caption>I entered the game. He already chose me. If I go into that basement, I'll be prey. That's the game: twenty men hunting five women. Whoever catches me will claim me—right there on the floor—and I'll be his for thirty days and nights. No refusals. No limits. As a successful, focused professional, I have no business indulging in this dark fantasy. But I can’t resist. Not when he might be there. The man who fuels my most forbidden obsession. If it's not him who catches me, I'll lose more than just the game.   --   For all those who adored the game in the inimitable Body Count series, meet Malachi and Emmeline, the surgeon and the MMA fighter you read about in Arran's Obsession. This is a dark romance novella with the relevant warnings listed in the front of the book. And yes, the duet audio with Allie Rose and Lucas Webley is everything.</image:caption>
