In Plaid
Nights, men in kilts are as varied as they are hot. Whether they're caber
tossers, rugby players, Highland warriors, country dancers, or time-traveling
vampires, they're up for surprises and sexy good times.
Rob Rosen
starts us off with humor in "Tossing It." Contemporary men discover
love in unexpected places in "Whiskey and Want" by Megan McFerren,
"Some Like It Scot" by Julia Talbot, "Perfect Working
Order" by Elizabeth Coldwell, and "Off-Kilter" by Racheline
Maltese & Erin McRae. We get a taste of the paranormal in "Sir
WW" by Angelique Voisen, "Feumaidh Mi Ruith (I Have to Run)" by
Missouri Dalton, and "Kilt in the Closet" by Logan Zachary. And we're
treated to forbidden love in historicals "Hunting for a Highlander"
by Lila Mathews, "A Time to Heal" by Anna Mansel, and "As Fair
Art Thou, My Bonny Lad" by McKay.
In these
stories, some tartan-clad men wear their kilts in the "traditional
manner," while others are less daring. But all find love, and of course, a
happy ending—especially at night, when the plaid comes off.

Excerpt:
From
"Tossing It" by Rob Rosen:
He took a
spoonful of stew into his mouth, green eyes sparkling in the daylight. He was
cute in a lanky, pale, freckled sort of way. He sighed contentedly as he set
the spoon back down. “Just like mom used to make.”
“Back in
the old country?”
He
laughed. “Back in New Jersey. Though Newark is sort of old.”
We
continued eating together, side by side. His leg brushed mine. It stayed
brushed. I didn’t move mine away; he didn’t move his either. This was an odd
turn of events. Was he gay? Not a clue. Still, most guys would’ve moved their
legs away. Maybe he was simply oblivious. Straight guys sometimes had a habit
of that. You just never knew. Then again, you could test the theory if you were
so inclined. Me, I was always so inclined.
I pointed
to a throng of kilted behemoths off to the side. “What’s with the skirted
mountain men?”
He
chuckled. “Caber tossers.”
“That some
sort of Scottish slang for rednecks?”
He turned
my way, eyes locking with mine. It was like staring into a field of emeralds. Guess
I’d been too busy staring at his crotch before to notice. Shame on me. “Caber
tossers. They toss logs. Poles. Big ones.” Well, he’d certainly know about big
poles, I figured. “They’re up to twenty feet tall and almost two hundred
pounds.”
“And they toss
them? Why?”
“For
sport.”
I ate a
couple more bites of my fish. It was perfectly cooked, greasy and flaky. My
stomach settled down. “Sport? Like tiddlywinks for giants?”
He nodded
as he continued eating his stew. His eyes rarely left mine. I was all too glad
to return the favor. I stared at his freckles, connecting the dots,
constellations hidden in the patterns. “Something like that.”
