Scotland, 1504.
Lady Janet Fraser didn’t earn her
reputation as Scotland’s most notorious sinner by following the rules. A former
mistress of King James IV, she’s content to live her life from pleasure to
pleasure. Even if those pleasures—and people—are forbidden.
People like Sir Lachlan Ross, given the
moniker The Highland Beast, a man as intimidating in battle as he is in size. A
beast she discovers secretly wishes to be tamed and submit to her dominance.
Or like her new ward, Lady Marjorie
Hepburn, a convent-raised virgin with a desire to be taught all the sensual
secrets of the marriage bed. Things that Janet is fully willing to teach her,
again and again. There’s much for her to learn.
And forbidden pleasures like the three
of them together in one bed.
But Lachlan and Marjorie both have ties
to the king. As wicked lusts are indulged and affection unexpectedly grows into
love, breaking the rules this time could mean all of their undoing…
“Do I see wine in that basket?”
Lachlan smiled as Lady Janet descended the
staircase like an empress. Well. Empress of his world, at least. “Aye, lady.
Enough for merriment.”
“Excellent,” said Marjorie, trailing just
behind. “Where are you taking us, Lachlan? Are we riding?”
“No need. It’s a short distance. Half mile
or so.”
Lady Janet nodded. “Lead on, then. If I’m
trapped one more moment within these walls, I shall go mad. I always find a
walk helps to clear my mind.”
It was tempting to press her further, but
servants were bustling about, equally eager to make use of the fine weather and
complete their tasks before chapel. Some had been given leave to visit their
families for the afternoon and moved particularly swiftly with baskets of
linens to be laundered, silver to be polished, and rugs to be beaten free of
dust and dirt. Instead, he, Lady Janet, and Marjorie made their way down
the gravel path, past the flower garden and orchard, toward the hunting
grounds. When they reached a large clump of shrubbery, he directed the ladies
to the right, down a narrow way that had been gouged out of a bank to allow
access to the stream below.
“Here,” said Lachlan, leading them to a
small sand clearing about twenty feet wide and deep. “Thought this might do.”
“Oh, it’s lovely,” said Marjorie, clasping
her hands together.
Eager to serve, he unpacked the first
basket, spreading out the rug and arranging the cushions in a half circle. Lady
Janet sank onto the rug with a deep sigh, leaning back on a cushion and lifting
her face to the sun.
“I’ll need all the lemon juice in Scotland
for the freckles I shall gain this day, but it will be worth it. Hold your
noses now, I’m removing my shoes and stockings.”
As soon as she did so, Marjorie began to
cough and sway before pressing her hand to her forehead, swooning onto the
cushion and twitching, then lying deathly still.
Lachlan applauded.
Lady Janet raised an eyebrow. “Saucy.
Both of you.”
“Are you going to punish us, mistress?”
said Marjorie, batting her lashes, and her guardian couldn’t help but smile.
“Indeed. An extra half hour on your knees—”
“Hooray!”
“In chapel.”
They both stared at her in horror. Lady
Janet stared back for a few moments, then she began to laugh. “Your faces.”
About Nicola:
NICOLA DAVIDSON worked for many years in communications and marketing
as well as television and print journalism, but hasn’t looked back since she
decided writing wicked historical romance was infinitely more fun. When not
chained to a computer she can be found ambling along one of New Zealand’s
beautiful beaches, cheering on the All Blacks rugby team, history geeking on
the internet or daydreaming. If this includes chocolate – even better!
