"SAINTS, BUT YOU TEMPT ME," DUNCAN MURMURED.
He gathered her into his arms and gently lowered her into the silky warm waters of the bath. "Ne'er in my life have I desired a woman more." Without taking his eyes off her, he kneeled beside the tub and softly brushed his lips back and forth over hers.
Lulled into contentment by the sheer magic of his kisses, Linnet felt herself melting. But a tiny voice deep inside scolded her for being a wanton fool. A brazen piece willing to barter her pride for a man's touch, for the feel of his lips on hers. In truth, she'd sunk lower than a bawd for the thrill of a few moments in the arms of a man who'd never love hereven though he was her husband.
"Duncan, wait," she pleaded the moment he broke their kiss to feather lighter ones down the curve of her neck. "Please, I canna do this after all."
"Shhh," he urged, "of course you can. Hush, dinna speak." He placed two fingers over her lips, silencing her. "Just feel. Let me pleasure you, show you how much I desire you, love you until you are weak from our joining and beg for mercy."
"But you do not"
"I told you, we willna speak of love," he said, as if he'd read her thoughts. Pushing suddenly to his feet, he yanked his tunic over his head and tossed it aside.
A FIERY ANGEL, A COLDHEARTED DEVIL,
AND A MARRIAGE HOTTER THAN HELL!
Linnet MacDonnell was the youngest of seven sisters, and not the family beauty. With her flame-bright red hair, sharp tongue, and strange gift of second sight, no man wanted her. But the devil would take her. Bartered as a bride to her father's long-sworn enemy, the nobly born Highlander Duncan MacKenzie of Kintail, she had no choice but to enter a marriage with a man rumored to have murdered his first wife and said to possess neither heart nor soul.
Forbidding and proud, Duncan MacKenzie wanted only one thing from his new bride-to use her special gift to determine if young Robbie was truly his son. He never expected the MacDonnell lass to stubbornly follow her heart, chase away the darkness in his castle with light and laughter, and ignite a raging fire in his blood. How dare she defy him, and tempt a devil like him to feel what he feared most of alllove!
From an exciting new voice in romantic fiction comes a story as tempestuous, colorful, and passionate as medieval Scotland itself...
Review
"Devil in a Kilt will catapult Sue-Ellen Welfonder onto "must-read" lists. This dynamic debut has plenty of steamy sensuality, a dusting of mystery and a touch of the paranormal. You'll be glued to the pages not only by her fresh, vibrant voice and strong emotional intensity, but by her ability to make you believe you are there." Kathe Robin, Romantic Times
Review
"A lovely gem of a book. Wonderful characters and a true sense of place make this a keeper. If you love Scottish tales, you'll love this one." Patricia Potter, author of The Perfect Family
