Book Description
True love blossoms between a widow and an inventor in the Scottish Highlands in the steamy historical romance by a New York Times–bestselling author. For Virginia Traylor, Countess of Barrett, marriage was merely the vehicle to buy her father a title. Widowhood, however, brings a host of problems. For her husband deliberately spent the money intended for Virginia and her in-laws, leaving them penniless—unless she produces an heir. Desperate and confused, Virginia embarks on a fateful journey that brings her to the doorstep of the only man she’s ever loved . . . He’s known as the Devil, but Macrath Sinclair doesn’t care. He moved to a tiny Scottish village in hopes of continuing his work as an inventor and starting a family of his own. He bought the house; he chose the woman. Unfortunately, Virginia didn’t choose him. Macrath knows he should turn her away now, but she needs him, and he wants her more than ever. Whatever game Virginia’s playing, Macrath intends to win—one wickedly seductive deed at a time . . . Praise for The Devil of Clan Sinclair “In this first in her new Clan Sinclair series, Karen Ranney enchants the reader with strong descriptions of people, places, and artifacts. Her characters are finely drawn. . . . Her descriptions of the Scottish Highlands . . . are clear and evocative. An energetic story with many surprising twists and turns.” —Historical Novel Society

Book Description
The year is 1466 AD. The Highlands of Scotland are beautiful, raw, and unforgiving. The hard day of travel was one of many. The entire country seemed to be on edge, with no one about and small battles raging nearby. I had been compelled to keep moving. Although I was only sixteen years of age, I had been on my own, traveling through the country for three years. I had found that people often turn on you and try to exploit you for their gain, especially if you have certain “talents.” Yes, I have talents, ones that I have worked hard to master and to keep hidden. There had been too many experiences of so called friends selling me out or turning me in to the authorities for some small amount of coin. Mankind naturally fears what they do not understand.
