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.
