Whose bed is this?
That was Kensie’s first thought as she peeled her eyes open to find herself in an unfamiliar room. She noted the crumpled red dress, tiny black thong, and Louboutin heels in the corner.
Whose arms are these?
That was her second thought as the tattooed arms engulfing her tightened their grip. Her phone buzzed on the nightstand. Carefully, without waking up the man behind her, she reached for it. The name on the display read Prince Charming.
"Hello?"
"How are you still asleep at one in the afternoon?" Trey's familiar baritone rang in her ear.
“Long night,” she rasped. The man behind her chuckled, his mouth warm on her ear.
“Well, wake up. My flight leaves in an hour and I can’t wait to see you.”
“I can’t wait,” she said weakly.
What have I done?
That was her third thought as the weight of her recklessness consumed her.
She cheated.
She was a cheater.

Jack:
Jack MacVie is a Scottish rebel, robbing English nobles on the road north into Scotland alongside his four brothers. But the MacVie brothers are not hell bent on riches. They became highwaymen to fight against the tyranny of King Edward of England.
In the aftermath of the Berwick massacre, Lady Isabella Redesdale is risking it all, journeying north into war-torn Scotland to be with her sister. But when her carriage is attacked by a band of villains, another gang descends to steal her away.
Although they come from different worlds, Jack and Isabella are more alike than they first realize. They both crave freedom from war and despair, but in a world where kings reign and birth dictates one's station, freedom is not won, it is stolen.
***Jack is a novella. The rest of the Scottish Outlaw books are all FULL-LENGTH novels.
Quinn:
Quinn is a Scottish rebel and outlaw to the crown--not the sort of man for a proper English lady. But when Lady Catarina is accused of a horrific crime and is forced to flee Ravensworth castle for her life, the only man she can trust is the one man who believes she is innocent, Quinn MacVie.
Join Quinn and Catarina as they disappear into the wilds of the Scottish Highlands where danger follows at their heels and desire burns in their hearts.

Accompanying them is secret agent and reputed rake, Rory MacVie, who must assist Alexandria with a perilous mission for Scotland.

This is a passionate story of honor, rebellion, and forbidden love.
Alec:
Two broken hearts unite, becoming one love that will last forever.
Sold from one ruthless master to another, Joanie is a servant who has lived her whole life in fear.

But what she doesn’t realize is that Randolph is actually Alec MacVie, Scottish spy and rebel.
The first time Alec sees Joanie is in his dreams. He has a vision of a young woman standing on a bridge alone, bleeding, and brokenhearted. He must rescue her, and when he does he soon realizes she holds the power to rescue him right back.
Join Alec and Joanie on a journey of healing, passion, and hope, where their love and strength forge a new destiny for themselves and for Scotland.
