About this ebook

One forbidden kiss sets them on a path from which there’s no return.

In a desperate final attempt to force her cruel betrothed to call off their arranged marriage, Arieen Fleming deliberately creates a public scandal. Aware she’ll likely be shunned by Society and remain unmarried, she kisses a dashing swashbuckler at a masked ball. What she doesn’t anticipate is her powerful fascination and sensual reaction to Coburn Wallace. And she most certainly doesn’t foresee her father casting her out as a result of her madcap scheme.

Coburn Wallace is a man who enjoys life and women to the fullest. As cousin and second-in-command to a laird, he has no need or desire to marry and produce an heir. When a beautiful female pirate demands he kiss her, who is he to refuse such an unexpected gift? Upon learning Arieen’s been disowned and is destitute, he’s seized with an inexplicable urge to protect her even as his honor demands he marry Arieen for his unwitting contribution to her ruination.

Arieen has no choice but to accept Coburn’s offer, and though they can’t deny their overwhelming, mutual attraction, dare they hope for more? Can attraction blossom into love in a marriage neither wanted?

For an enthralling, emotional Scottish Highland adventure you won't want to put down, read this second book in the Heart of a Scot Series.

Though this book is part of a series, it can easily be read as a stand-alone novel.

I absolutely loved this story by Collette Cameron! Arieen does everything she possibly can to prevent her marriage to a cruel, lying and womanizing man so as her last resort she causes a scandal knowing that it could compromise her reputation and prevent her from ever marrying in the future. What she doesn't plan on is how much she and Coburn are attracted to each other and soon develop feelings for one another. I'm looking forward to reading more books in this series! I was given an ARC from the author/publisher. All conclusions are mine and mine alone.

Desperate times call for desperate measures and they might just redeem a rake. I was hooked from the moment her plan was revealed and her back up plan. That spark between them ignited from across the room and they were goners as soon as they kissed. I was completely shocked by every word that came out of her father's mouth when he saw them. When Coburn showed her where he came from and told her he couldn't let her be homeless made my heart melt. The way they got married is one of my favorite scenes and I rarely see that way of doing it. A tiny part of me wished someone would really knock her father down a few more pegs, but I loved how it all ended. Arieen will not stand by and let her father trade her like property to a man that didn't care about her at all. She is not shy at all and has no problems saying what she heard or thinks. I loved how she kept her head up after everything her father said and with the gossip going. Coburn may love women to the fullest, but he has a heart of gold and won't let her suffer. He knew he wanted her and would do anything to protect her. I loved how he was just as blunt as her and that he went to great lengths to make her happy.

Arieen Fleming deliberately creates a public scandal to avoid being forced to marry an English lord, what she didn't foresee was being thrown out & disowned by her father Coburn Wallace is a man who enjoys life and women to the fullest. As cousin and second-in-command to Logan Rutherford, he has no need or desire to marry and produce an heir. When a beautiful female pirate demands he kiss her, who is he to refuse such an unexpected gift? When he witnesses all that transpires after their kiss, his honour demands he marry Arieen for his unwitting contribution to her ruination. This book overlaps the previous one in the series, whilst it could easily be read on its own I did read this immediately after reading the first book. Another lovely read which I read in two sittings. The book is well written & the characters well fleshed. My heart went out to Arieen & I really, really wanted her father to suffer, maybe losing all his investments & becoming a pauper would have been fitting. Coburn & Arieen were attracted to each other from their first sighting but neither wants to marry & can’t believe the other feels the same way. Things don't go smoothly for them on the road to their HEA but it’s highly entertaining My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read
