    About this ebook

    From award-winning romance author Michelle Marcos comes Lessons in Loving a Laird--the second installment in the "Knaves of Scotland" series. As rugged and bold as the Scottish hills, the Highland Knaves take no prisoners when it comes to love…

    Thrust into indentured servitude as a child, Shona Slayter is counting the days until her twenty-first birthday, when she gains her precious freedom. Unfortunately, the new laird of the estate has other plans—and he's determined to keep her bound to him. The only way for Shona to be free of her bonds is to marry the man who holds the key. But seducing a handsome laird is not what she was trained for, and the more she tries to win his heart, the more she loses hers.

    With a young son to raise and a crumbling Scottish estate to manage, Conall has enough to worry about without the brazen, beautiful Shona challenging him at every turn. But their heated spats are starting to turn into real sparks…and soon the Scottish hills are ablaze with their forbidden attraction. Yet no matter what Shona is willing to do to buy her freedom, Conall has no intention of letting her go…

      Author Michelle Marcos offers a very strong and feisty heroine in "Lessons in Loving a Laird". As young girls, Shona MacAslan and her twin sister Willow were forced to watch the murder of their parents and older brothers and the kidnapping of their younger brother Camran. A bloody clan feud robs them of their home and happiness and propels them into a life of indentured servitude. To show their lowly class station, the backs of their hands are branded with a snake symbol, and they are given the new last name of "Slayter"--meaning that they are knaves. Shona and her sister manage to escape a cruel master and find a measure of safety working as parish apprentices. Shona dreams of the day when she and Willow reach their twenty-first birthday and gain their freedom. When the newly entitled Laird of Ballencrieff returns to claim his lands, he demands that all past due rents be paid. The family with whom the sisters are apprenticed are far behind in their dues, and Shona speaks up in their defense, drawing the interest of the Laird. Connall MacEwan's life had taken many unexpected twists and turns to find him face to face with the fiery Shona, but he agrees to take on Shona as hand for the animals, and Willow as the caregiver for his young son. A widower, Connall soon becomes irresistibly attracted to Shona's fierce beauty. Her spirit and intelligence captivate him, and she soon becomes his valued advisor about all matters regarding the estate and the ruling of the people and the lands. Shona's heart is stolen by the kind, handsome Laird, and she fears that theirs is a love that can never be. Connall wants more than stolen moments with Shona, but just as he is set to claim Shona as his own, his brother's indiscretion threatens to change all of their lives forever. Can the love and passion between the Laird and the lovely apprentice overcome the forces which challenge their future? Where there is love, there is always a way.
