One mustn’t mistake Connor Grant when he says he’s looking for a particular kind of woman...

He’s not in want of a wife. No, he leads a team of female spies and he's in the market for a lady who can not only quickly master an intricate set of skills, she must also be willing to do whatever it takes to succeed in the name of the Crown.

As soon as he meets her, he knows Ariana Fitzroy is the woman he’s been seeking. She has no money, no family, and she’s a wicked cheat at cards, which he uses to his advantage, promising to turn her into the authorities if she doesn’t join him.

Ariana agrees and soon finds herself training within the walls of a castle in Scotland. Her days are steeped in everything from hand-to-hand combat to the many ways to deceive and seduce. And yet, what they don’t prepare her for is Connor.

Now she must join him in the field, in a dangerous mission, one she’s certain he’s not being honest about. Can they put their attractions aside and focus on the mission? Or will they fall prey to their desires and risk certain ruin?

Kaid MacLeod’s clan has been dealt a staggering blow, leaving many of their kin slaughtered where they stood, including his father. Haunted by the fact that he couldn’t save them, Kaid craves vengeance, but not through combat. Too many souls have been lost already. Instead, they will settle for peace by whatever means necessary. Their only chance is to kidnap his archenemy’s intended, who has been rumored to be traveling through Scotland, and use her to negotiate an end to the bloodshed.

Ever since she was young, Delilah Canterbury has had to think on her feet and forge her own path in life, a path she has always hoped would end in finding a place at King James’ court. Her dream comes true and she not only gains the King’s favor, she’s invited into his rooms for an enchanting evening. And yet, the next thing she knows, she’s been cast out, her dreams and her reputation in shreds. She is saved by a team of female spies, who take her in and teach her their ways.

Now Delilah must go on her first mission, impersonating Lady Elizabeth, a noblewoman’s daughter and the fiancée of a powerful Scottish Laird. As planned, Kaid takes the bait and she’s poised to entrap him…but she can’t help but wonder what it would like to be with him in truth.

Will she give in to her desires and risk everything? Could a love born under deception ever grow to anything more than pain and strife for those souls who yearn for anything but.

Sylvi’s life was changed forever when a man, distinguishable only by the fact that he’s missing half an ear, murdered her entire family. Then it was changed again when a mysterious woman, known only as My Lady, took her in and gave her the tools of retribution through intensive training as an assassin.

Now that she’s joined My Lady’s team of spies, her missions may change, but she never stops searching for the man who stole everything from her, though her current mark, Ian, is doing a good job at distracting her. His skills are nearly as disarming as that striking profile of his and she can’t help but be more intrigued than angry. Plus, she can’t shake the thought there’s a chance that he might know where to find the men who killed her family.

Will forming an unlikely truce with Ian give her everything she’s yearned and more, or will she risk losing not just her heart, but her life and the very thing that saved her.
