When kilted caber-tosser Scott MacPherson tosses Leslie Livingston
over his shoulder to rescue her from two armed thieves trying to steal her priceless amulet, they are thrust into a deadly
but sexy adventure. Though Leslie already has a lukewarm, uninterested boyfriend, her attraction to Scott is white-hot and
undeniable. She wants to lick this tall, muscular alpha male all over and explore the depths of eroticism with him. But will
he want anything more than one night once the danger is behind them?

What others said about Kilted Lover:
"Hot love scenes!"
"You've got the sexual tension pegged."
"If the rest of the novella is as humorous and interesting as
this scene, the author definitely has a winner!!"
"You can zing a sex scene. Wow!"
"Most definitely a sense of chemistry. Well-drawn
characters with distinct personalities."
"[What do you feel the author did very well in this scene?] Showcasing
the personalities of the characters. Infusing humor into the love scene – yes, there is a place for humor in the
bedroom and this author did an excellent job of incorporating humor in the dialogue and action of the characters." ~anonymous

"If the rest of the book is as polished
and maintains the energy in the author's voice, this is ready for prime time, in my opinion. ~Published author
Devil in a Kilt, Secrets Volume 27 Untamed Pleasures
Journey to the past... to the rugged, beautiful Scottish Highlands
of centuries ago, where men wore plaid and wielded fierce swords. A land where myth, magic, and legend are truth.
Wizardry and witchcraft are real. And anything is possible. Stronger than honor or bravery, love alone will overcome
evil and vanquish a curse. ~Nicole North
Devil in a Kilt is a paranormal erotic
romance novella with a wee bit of everything–humor, dark suspense, modern and historical, magic, love and lots
of sensuality. It is in the Red Sage anthology, Secrets Volume 27 Untamed Pleasures released
July 2009. I've also sold the second novella in the series--Beast in a Kilt will be in Secrets
Volume 29.
Devil
in a Kilt: A trip to the Highland Games turns into a trip to the past when modern day psychology professor Shauna
MacRae touches Gavin MacTavish’s four-hundred-year-old claymore. What she finds is a Devil In a Kilt she’s
had erotic fantasies about for months. Can Shauna break the curse imprisoning this shape shifting laird and his clan before
an evil witch sends Shauna back to her time?
Gavin glanced out the window at the Highlands and
the first faint trace of dawn peeking over the eastern mountains. It won’t be long.
A yell echoed from down the corridor, the ravings of a madman. His father. One day that would be Gavin, talking to ghosts
and shadows. But likely when he sank to that level, he would have no roof over his head. Or else his sparse clan would lock
him in the dungeon to die alone. Since he had no heir, his greedy, grasping cousin would become laird. His clan would rejoice
when their devil laird was dead. "Damnation! Alpin willna unseat me. The craven whoreson." Draping his plaid
around his waist and holding it in place, Gavin strode from the bedchamber and down the corridor toward his father’s
room. "There ye are, lad," Crocker said, his sparse gray hair sticking out in all directions. "Thanks be to
God. He’s a right lunatic this morn. Asking for ye, he is." "What the devil is wrong with him?" Gavin
stepped inside the chamber. "I dinna ken." "Gavin! Gavin!" his father screeched from the four-poster
bed as his body writhed, his long gray hair tangled. "The lass. Ye must look for the lass. Ye must marry. For the sake of
the clan. For the sake of yer very soul." "What lass?" No lass for miles around would so much as glance in
his direction. He used to have to drag them from his bed and send them on their way. Now, he couldn’t pay one to give
him an hour’s pleasure. He would like as not turn them to stone, or they would end up possessed by the
devil, as he was thought to be. Gavin waited for his father to tell him which lass he referred to, but the older man now lay still with his
eyes closed, apparently asleep. Mayhap he’d meant the lass from Gavin’s arousing dreams. But she wasn’t
real, and he’d never seen her face. Fingers of dawn light gleamed over the mountains and Gavin’s
animal nature surged forth, beyond his control. "Damnation! When will it end?" He moved toward
the open window, helpless to resist the call. Just as he reached it, a moment of pain sliced through him. His body transformed,
and great glossy-black wings appeared where once he had arms, and talons on his feet. Taking flight from the window, he became
one with the wind, the Highlands and the bright colors of dawn. Devil in a Kilt, Red Sage Secrets Volume 27 Untamed

“Fabulous story! It’s one of the best things I’ve
read in ages!!! Gavin is so incredibly lovable… strong and sexy!!! European historicals aren’t
what I usually read but I totally loved this story. You had me hooked right from the beginning. You really have
a talent for the novella style! I enjoyed all the ties between the present and past. I loved your voice throughout.
It was light and funny and entertaining, yet serious enough to capture the emotions involved.” ~Vanessa Fowler,

"I felt I knew both [characters] very well, and they're both sexy
as hell! From the first second she entered the room, I felt [the chemistry.] Awesome job! The verbal exchange between the
two is excellent. Very easy style to read. Your ability to write sexual tension is terrific! I so want to read the rest. I
think one of your strengths is weaving all the little things together so that we get fully pulled in without getting bogged
down in details. We still get the details, but with fast pacing and witty writing that entertains like it should." ~Anonymous
