A Taste of Sin

A Scottish bride meets her absent groom...

Come hell or high water, Lady Christy would have her long-awaited wedding night at last. But first she had to seduce the dashing rogue who has claimed her as bride -- in name only!

A SCORNED WIFE'S DUE
Lady Christy Macdonald had been ordered to marry St. John Thornton when she was a mere child. But her wedding day was the last time the spirited Scottish beauty had set eyes on her English bridegroom, who has become the notorious rake they call "Lord Sin." Now she is a woman, and under pressure to end her sham marriage in order to wed the Cameron chieftain. Yet fiery, independent Christy wants a new groom even less than she wanted the first. So she hatches a plan to secure an heir and deter a suitor by seducing the infamous "Sin."

A TASTE OF SINFUL PLEASURE
Dashing St. John--or "Sinjun" as he is known--never recognized the wild Scottish girl he'd married in the mysterious lovely lady who swept into his life, and into his bed, before vanishing without a trace. All the charming rogue knows is that he has never tasted lips so sweet or experienced a night so rapturously satisfying in all his years of shameless carousing. Married or no, Sinjun must track the lady down to have her again and for all time, his bride in distant Scotland be hanged! But he cannot imagine that the wife he abandoned--the one woman he never cared to know--is the one love he cannot live without!

Her: St. John Thornton (Sinjun)
Heroine: Lady Christy Macdonald
