A Seduction at Christmas

October 15, 2008
Agreeing to meet Lord Belkins and secretly drug his wine seemed like an easy way to earn £20 and also do a friend a favor. Fiona Lachlan arrives at the inn only to be accosted by Dominic, the Duke of Holburn, who is expecting someone else. They end up being shot at, and she begins to wonder what she has gotten herself into. Then Belkins is murdered. Danger lurks in unexpected places in this innovative, fast-paced romance that takes a brave, independent Scottish lass and a proud, persistent duke, gives them a mystery to solve, and lets them discover love in the process. Complete with witty dialog, sparkling humor, and delicious sensuality and touched by the holiday spirit and a dash of mythological magic, this romance successfully launches Maxwell's new "Scandals and Seductions" series. Maxwell ("In the Highlander's Bed") lives in Virginia.
