Unbelievably sensual... If your looking for a book with a good story line, on a cold winter night this is it. This is not a romance novel with 25% "adult scenes" this is throughout the book. Well written, I loved it.

Irish / Scottish setting (switches near the beginning of the book. I'm not sure of the time period as I'm not good with that but I would assume 1700s.
A really quick and light read which I recommend. The hero / heroine are definately suited for each other and the relationship does develop throughout the story. There aren't a lot of external characters to draw attention away. I thought it was a good read. Samantha James is one of my favorites.

Lady Maura O'Donnell set out to trap a Scottish Duke and now she's caught in her own trap. Serves her right. Poor Alec, he may be a womanizer but he did no wrong here. The battle of wills between Maura and Alec is rather entertaining. However, once Alec realizes what she has done, it's going to take a lot for him to trust her again.
Alec makes a terrific hero as he is gentle and very understanding. Maura, though deceitful (but for a valid reason), is a good hearted and kind person. A very entertaining story of curses and deceit.

Unfortunately I read the last installment to the series first, but after reading this book I'm now trying to get the first two books to read as well. This book was also a fast read with a bit of a magical twist.
This book is about Lady Maura O'Donnell. Upon her fathers death bed she makes a vow to find and bring back the circle of light. A magical stone that was taken by the pirate "The Black Scotsman" two hundred years ago. Alec McBride, the Duke of Gleneden, also known as the Black Scotsman is believed to poses the circle of light. During a Mascaraed Ball she seduces the Scottish man and drugs his wine in order to make him believe he has taken her maidenhead. Forced to marry the Irish Lady Mauran he keeps himself aloof. He does not trust her. How can he when he cannot recall the bedding which lead to marriage.
After weeks of searching, and nights of trying to keep her husband at bay they circum to their desires only to realize he was truly duped. Not only does his suspicion lead to the truth, he never did bed her, but he finds that he now truly did take her virginity. To make matters worse he finds that the real reason for her deception doesn't change the fact he truly does love her. She's everything he's ever wanted. She's fiery and spirited. Now how to make her see.
