Beware a Scot's Revenge

"Someone's going to call your bluff someday, Venetia -- you'd better hope it's not a handsome man."

-- Mrs. Charlotte Harris, headmistress

Lady Venetia Campbell's visit to her childhood home in Scotland takes a dramatic turn when she's kidnapped at pistol point by her father's sworn enemy. Sir Lachlan Ross is widely feared in his guise as The Scottish Scourge, but Venetia remembers her former neighbor as a handsome youth whose attentions she craved. Now a wickedly sexy man, Lachlan's appeal is even more intoxicating...and much more dangerous. Though Lachlan tries to treat her as his foe, his scorching kisses tell another story. And despite his plan to use her as a weapon against her father, Venetia is determined that Lachlan's lust for revenge will be trumped by an even more powerful desire....

Nothing ruins a good vacation quite like being kidnapped, as Lady Venetia Campbell, who has returned home to Scotland for the first time in five years, learns when she is captured by the "Scottish Scourge." The sexy highwayman turns out to be Lachlan Ross, her old neighbor and friend in disguise. Ross refuses to let Venetia go until her father repays an old debt, but Venetia vows that Ross is going to rue the day he decided to involve her in his plan for revenge. Two equally stubborn, delightfully strong-willed protagonists match wits and wiles with exceptionally entertaining and splendidly sexy results in the latest sparkling addition to Jeffries' School for Heiresses Regency romance series.
