Hots for Scots

Alistair Oliphant has devoted his entire life to his clan's well-being. As one of the laird's bastard sons, he's determined to prove his worth by managing the Oliphants' correspondence, alliances, land stewardship, training schedules, and about a million otherboringaspects of keeping a busy Highland clan going.When his father declares whichever of his sons marries and produces a son first will become the next laird, Alistair figures his destiny has finally arrived. The only problem ishe just doesn't have the time to find a wife.Luckily, he doesn't have to, because right under his oblivious nose, is a woman who is ready and willing, and just waiting to hit him over the head with her long-time crush. Lara Oliphant has grown up with the Oliphant bastards, but as their best friend's younger sister, none of them have given her a second look. Which is a shame, because she's done quite a lot of looking herself when it came to Alistair. And as a result of Lara's embarrassingly voyeuristic lifestyle, she's decided she's the only one who can set the poor man straight.Or rathernot straight.If Alistair got any straighter, she could shove a wick up his arse and call him a candle. What he needs is someone to show him how to bend, how to relaxhow to have a little fun. And Lara is just the woman to do it. Assuming she can convince him to see her as a woman, that is!Warning: Full of naughty shenanigans and ridiculous jokes, and more than a few eye-rollingly bad puns. Come for the spicy bits, stay for the humor. Welcome to another installment of the hilarious Hots for Scots series!

But after SEVEN failed betrothalsall to HenrysNessa is done with fiddling around.

He'd found a home.And he might've been happy, had Davina MacKinnon been allowed to share it with him. But her grandfather has never seen him as good enough for her, or the future of the MacKinnon clan, and despite her sister's marriage to one of Graham's brothers, Davina was dragged away.But now she's returned to be with her sister during her confinement, and Grahambeing a medical manhas been called back to Oliphant Castle as well, to help with all the bairns about to be born.

Since his father, the laird, announced whichever brother could marry and produce a son first would become the heir, Malcolm's brothers have been running around, falling in love willy-nilly, without using their brains at all. But not Malcolm, oh no. He plans to do this intelligently.He'll find a widow with a son or two, thus proving her ability to bear male offspring, and explain to her they will be married. See? Simple. No need to bring emotions into it.But when he finally meets the perfect woman for his plan, there's no logical explanation for the way his heart keeps getting involved. It would be so much simpler if the stupid organ would just simmer down, but have you ever tried explaining things to a hunk of meat, whose sole purpose is moving blood around? Impossible! Besides, when Evelinde looks at him, he feels likea hero.Evelinde Oliphant's situation is getting desperate. Since her first husband's death, she and her two sons are living alone in what could charitably be called the middle-of-bloody-nowhere, without any real means of support. When a scholarly warriorone who makes her heart pound with desiresaves her life, how can she not think of him as her very own savior?Falling in loveand into Malcolm's armsis the easy part. But what will happen when she learns who he really is, and why he really married her?Warning: Contains a sausage-obsessed sheepdog; a cheeky, snot-nosed little cherub; and two people who cannot seem to keep their hands off each other, no matter what's considered proper.

Six brothers started this mess, and now there's only one man left standing.Kiergan Oliphant considers himself the only sane one in his family; how else to explain why all five of his brothers have fallen in love and gotten married, just because their father made a stupid ultimatum? Sure, the laird declared whichever son married and produced a son first would become his heirbut is that really any reason for a man to give up his freedom?Because if there's one thing Kiergan likes, it's freedom. And women. And those little berry tart things the cook makes. And the freedom to do things to and with women. Sofour? Aye, four things he likes.Which is good, because there's not much else he's good at. His brothers all have their talents and responsibilities, while Kiergan has been content to be relegated to the role of rake. He has no desire to be the next laird, which would not only mean less time for pleasure, but being saddled with a wife.Ugh. No thank you.Of course, his father has other plans. Enter the MacKinnon sisters: Davina is beautiful, desirable, and would make a brilliant alliance for the Oliphant clan, while Katlyn isnot. So of course, 'tis Katlyn who intrigues Kiergan, with her strange eyes and even stranger ideas.Katlyn MacKinnon knows exactly who she is, and her worth as well. Upon her birth, the Devil himself marked her, giving her eyes of two different colors. Her curse means she'll never marry or secure alliances, but that doesn't mean she can't have a little funSo what happens when these two independent hearts get caught in bed together? Hilarious shenanigans, of course!Warning: This book contains crude jokes, lewd puns, and more than a little slapstick. Get ready to laugh out loud in this side-splitting adventure, full of secret passages, revolving bookshelves, a damned annoying ghost, and one stubborn rake!
