Scandal & Scoundrel #2

Lonesome Lily Turned Scandalous Siren

Miss Lillian Hargrove has lived much of her life alone in a gilded cage, longing for love and companionship. When an artist offers her pretty promises and begs her to pose for a scandalous portrait, Lily doesn't hesitate...until the lying libertine leaves her in disgrace. With the painting now public, Lily has no choice but to turn to the one man who might save her from ruin.

Highland Devil turned Halfhearted Duke

The Duke of Warnick loathes all things English, none more so than the aristocracy. It does not matter that the imposing Scotsman has inherited one of the most venerable dukedoms in Britain—he wants nothing to do with it, especially when he discovers that the unwanted title comes with a troublesome ward, one who is far too old and far too beautiful to be his problem.

Tartan Comes to Town

Warnick arrives in London with a single goal: get the chit married and see her become someone else's problem, then return to a normal, quiet life in Scotland. It's the perfect plan, until Lily declares she'll only marry for love...and the Scot finds that there is one thing in England he likes far too much...

A Scot in the Dark is sensational! The Best of 2016! Spectacularly delivered with lively painted strokes of vivid history and powerful characters. A Scot in the Dark will amaze. MacLean takes us on a whirl wind adventure and never misses a step. I am beyond thrilled to have read a historical novel with the power to make me feel an exhilarating gamet of emotions. Blistering passion and an unforgettable Duke make this historical a keeper. Readers will experience a fantastic historical romance to remember. I can not wait for what MacLean has in store for us next.
