Murder by Midnight

At the wedding of his brother, Sir Kin de Bar tries to save the book of alchemy from the old witch, Hecuba, but it crumbles in his hands. He is then cursed with the touch of gold, and only can stop it from happening by wearing the golden gauntlets. When he secures the position of escort to a beautiful woman, he realizes that he is not the only one keeping secrets. He finds himself attracted to her, and instead of exposing who she really is, he decides to help her.

Alexander Armstrong, heir to the Clan Armstrong lairdship, took for granted his strength and size until that strength was taken from him. Injured during a skirmish with another Lowland clan, Alex finds himself struggling to wield his sword. His once handsome face is now marred by a vicious scar. Forced to attend court as his father’s representative, Alex’s anger and bitterness threaten to chase away the one woman who’s loved him most of her life.

Mercy Goode is only truly good at one thing: finding mischief wherever she goes. This knack thrusts her in the path of Adrian McKendrick, a cold-hearted rogue with a dangerous past and a devious objective. As a gentleman used to behaving badly, Adrian doesn’t think twice about seducing the desirable Goode Girl.

And he has never had a woman resist him…until now.
