Now onto Kilted for Pleasure.....
Callan Baird used to
laugh more than he frowned, but that was before his wife died. Now his life is
duty, debts and a general apathy for anything else. And then Victoria Burke
burst into his life. She's everything he wants to corrupt.
Victoria has two choices: agree to a grouchy, sexy Scotsman's extortion or call her boss to explain why she can't do her job. Since she's spent the last three years rebuilding her career as antique appraiser, and this one commission could make or break it, the decision is a no-brainer. Except everything about Callan is complicated.
He sees no problem turning their work relationship into a sexual one. She refuses to break her boss' no-fraternization rule. He's the one thing she wants and the one thing she can't have. He's had his one great love, and doesn't want a replacement. His heart doesn't agree, because she's everything he desires.
Callan will have to let go of his past if he wants Victoria to be in his future.

Teaser:
He
made a noise that she could only assume was agreement with her plan. So,
yesterday wasn't a fluke—his default was rude. It should have killed her
attraction to him, but of course it didn't.
Resigned,
she led the way down the corridor and she had to stop again. Swords, axes,
dirks and other weapons decorated the
main room. They'd proudly hoisted their family crest above the display.
He
shook his head likely taking her moment of reverence as confusion. “You should
have done your research. The castle was built—”
“In
1206,” she finished for him and then pointed to a horn that sat below the
swords and crest. “Would you mind taking that down? It's not on the list, but
that doesn't mean I can't talk my way into getting it included.”
He
took it down but didn't hand it to her. “White metal mounts—”
“German
silver was used for the mounts. I'm going to assume, until I can do further
research, that it's from the 19th century. The thistle etching along the neck
is a bit worn, but the domed cap is intact.” She squinted. “It seems to have
the original chain. Based on what I know, this style wasn't actually used to
hold gunpowder. They were mainly worn as decoration as part of the Highland
dress.”
“Show
off,” he muttered but she caught a twitch of his lips.
That
set the tone for the next two hours as they roamed room to room. She'd find
something of interest, either he or she would give the full break down, and
then the loser would mutter an insult.
