Sins of the Highlander (23 page)

by Jeanette Baker

A successful attorney in a posh London neighborhood, Meghann McCarthy thought she’d escaped the slums of Belfast forever. Until Michael Devlin needs her help. Years before, her love for the Irish charmer had nearly torn her apart, but now he’s part of a past she never wants to revisit. However, she can’t leave him defenseless against a murder charge—even if uncovering the truth puts her life in danger too.

She’ll risk everything to save Michael—and she’s not the first of her family to put it all on the line for a man she loves. As Meghann delves further into Michael’s case, further into the history that binds them so irrevocably, she slips into the unfolding drama of centuries before…of another woman’s desperate fight to free her rebel husband from the clutches of Queen Elizabeth.

Stakes are high, but the reward is the love of a lifetime. And the Irish never give up.

“Wonderful…It grips from the first page to the last.”
—Diana Gabaldon, author of the
Outlander
series

Her voice was a curse…

When Dylan “Oz” Oswin’s son is kidnapped, the high-powered producer will do anything to get him back. Desperately following an anonymous tip, he seeks help from a former child singing sensation called Syrene, only to find she’s vowed never to sing again. Immune to her voice but not her charm, Oz is convinced she holds the key to his son’s disappearance—and he’ll stop at nothing to make her break her vow.

Only he can make her sing…

She knows the devastation her talent can bring. There’s more than a child’s life at stake, but Syrene cannot unleash her dangerous siren’s voice upon the world, even for a man who is impossible to deny…

“So much attention to detail the characters truly seem to come to life… [An] enchanting concoction of magic, suspense, and an unlikely love.”

Connie Mason, who started her romance-writing career after she became a grandmother, once told
48 Hours
that she does her best work in bed—that work being writing, of course! For her newest releases, Connie has teamed up with Mia Marlowe, a rising star of steamy historical romance. Mia learned about storytelling while singing professional opera. A classically trained soprano, she knows what it’s like to wear a corset and has had to sing high Cs in one, so she empathizes with the trials of her historical heroines.

Connie lives near Tampa, Florida, and Mia lives in Boston, Massachusetts. Credit for putting these two authors together goes to their editor, Leah Hultenschmidt, and their agent, Natasha Kern, who saw the creative potential in this pairing. Both Connie and Mia write sexy, adventurous stories with alpha heroes to love. They hope you’ll enjoy the melding of their styles as much as they enjoyed collaborating to bring their new stories to life.
