***
From Scottish Hunk to Scottish Heartthrob
by Michelle Marcos

Quick…who do you think of when I say the words “Scottish hunk?”

Is it Gerard Butler? Ewan McGregor? Sean Connery? Honest to goodness, with soft lips and hard sinews, and that delightful burr when they speak, what’s not to love about a handsome Highlander?

Well, Serena Marsh can tell you. She is the heroine in SECRETS TO SEDUCING A SCOT. Serena is an English socialite who soaks in the crème de la crème of Regency high society. A renowned columnist in her own right, she is invited to every ball and rout, and her absence from a party is a shame upon the hostess. But when her father, an ambassador, is sent to the Highlands to quell a rebellion, Serena must leave her beloved London and its glittering nightlife for the rough and provincial hinterland of Scotland.

As if that weren’t sacrifice enough, a threat is made on her life, and her anxious father immediately hires a fugitive hunter to protect his daughter from anyone meaning to do her harm. The last thing Serena wanted was a fearsome-looking Scot behind her shoulder 24 hours a day. To make matters worse, he’s brutish, unsophisticated, and he won’t take orders from her. And he’s sexy as hell!

Malcolm Slayter has fought with too many cutthroats and lawbreakers to be bullied by a spoiled English woman. He bears the brand of the slaighteur, a knave, and he knows more about the violence of Scotsmen than any man still alive. His skills in battle and criminal detection are the reason he was hired for this assignment. But there was one threat he hadn’t counted on…that the more he tried to protect Serena’s life, the more he’d end up losing his heart. Serena may bristle and bluster, but only he has been able to recognize that her heart has been wounded in a way that can’t be healed by anyone who does not love her absolutely and unconditionally. So when tragedy befalls Serena, Malcolm must prove his love for her in a way that no other man can do.

TRAILER



ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Michelle Marcos has finally reconciled herself with being thought eccentric. She owns too many cats and struggles with a debilitating Starbucks addiction. How a child of Cuban parents living in Miami could become such an Anglophile is still anybody's guess. She graduated several centuries ago from the University of Miami with degrees in English and Education. Afterward, she spent a few years being one of the "cool" teachers in a middle school, and had a brief but illustrious acting career playing roles like Lusty Housemaid, Death, and (perhaps prophetically) Author. She finally found her true calling as an award-winning writer of historical romance, and has published five novels for St. Martin’s Press.
