  For fans of Diana Gabaldon and Scarlett Scott comes a story of warring clans, illicit longing . . . and the brutish Highlander who risks it all. 
   
   
   
  Known as the "Demon of the Seas," Tormund MacLeod only wants vengeance for his brother's murder. At this year's Lughnasadh festival, the vicious and unyielding Laird of the powerful MacDonald clan will know the bite of his sword. But the festival offers many distractions—including a fair and bonny masked vixen whose touch disarms Tormund, body and soul. And och, like the cursed MacLeod he is, he wants what he shouldn't have . . . 
   
   
   
  Lady Brighde MacDonald might understand her brother's overprotectiveness—but she doesn't have to like it. What she needs is the reckless freedom in the arms of an imposing, rough, and sweet-talking Highlander. Only too late, they both recognize that they're enemies. She's the sister of the man Tormund wants dead. And he is the brutish blackguard of the clans . . . 
   
   
   
  Now their tryst could mean war. Brighde would see a truce, but it means she must convince her brother and the man she loves to lay down their swords. But Tormund hides a long-buried secret that could destroy both clans. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.

  The Prince and Betty is a novel by P. G. Wodehouse. It was originally published in Ainslee's Magazine in the United States in January 1912, and, in a slightly different form, as a serial in Strand Magazine in the United Kingdom between February and April 1912, before being published in book form, in the UK only, by Mills & Boon, London, on 1 May that year. A substantially different version, which incorporated the plot of Psmith, Journalist, was published in the US by W. J. Watt, New York on 14 February 1912, and is the only version now widely available. (This is the version presented here.) The story tells of how unscrupulous millionaire Benjamin Scobell decides to build a casino on the small Mediterranean island of Mervo, dragging in the unwitting heir to the throne to help. Little does he know that his stepdaughter Betty has history with the young man John Maude, and his schemes lead to a rift between the newly-reunited pair. (Introduction from Wikipedia)

  Will he and Rochester be able to dig up the clues to all these mysteries? Or will a deadly killer go unpunished?

  I was not without sin. 
  I carried my name for a reason. 
  Screwing things up was just part of who I was. 
  Sometimes people got hurt because of me. 
  Sometimes they died. 
  After being exiled from the world I’d created with my best friends, I was left to punish myself for my sins against the girl they loved. 
  The sins I spent hours begging whatever entity was out there to forgive me for. 
  But maybe I wasn’t supposed to be forgiven. 
  Maybe I was who I was because I was meant for something bigger than me. 
  Maybe I was always meant for her. 
  The girl with the colorful eyes who never spoke. 
  The girl I’d been fighting my heart on since I’d set eyes on her all those months ago. 
  I feared she’d hurt me. Break me. 
  But maybe I’d been wrong. 
  Maybe she was the one who’d been sent to save me. 
  I just needed to figure out how to get her to stop being afraid of the man I was and see me for the man I was becoming. 
  But I was a sinner, and I would sin again. 
  In her name, all things were possible. 
  This much I knew. 
  Amen. 
  Sinful is book 5 in The Boys of Chapel Crest. This is not a standalone and must be listened to in order. This is a dark romance with no choosing. Check author’s note for more information on warnings.
