They could resist anything… except temptation. When a lonely laird hires a widowed lady to look after his sons, an unexpected attraction sparks between them—one that leads to a wicked, and risky, game. Dive into a delicious Highland Historical Romance set on the Medieval Isle of Mull.

After Kylie Grant's feckless husband leaves her a penniless widow, she has two choices: return to her family in disgrace or find herself a job. Determined to make herself useful, she chooses the latter and takes a position at Dounarwyse broch on the Isle of Mull.

Rae Maclean is a powerful chieftain … but an unhappy one. After a passionless marriage, he's sworn never to wed again. However, with his two sons running wild, he needs someone to keep them in check. Hiring the stern but lovely Kylie seems like a wise choice at the time, but from the moment she moves in, he fights a growing desire for her.

And when he discovers that, like him, Kylie has given up on love—but not sex—laird and employee embark on a sensual game: for the next few months, they will enjoy each other's bodies and explore all the things they've both missed out on. But once spring arrives, their relationship will go back to being platonic.

They both agree to the arrangement. What could possibly go wrong?

But what begins as a game of excitement and discovery eventually takes a twist that risks breaking both their hearts.

Full of impossible choices, forbidden love, and steam, Jayne Castel's new series, Highland Scandal, is set on the Medieval Isle of Mull and follows three unconventional sisters and the men who put everything on the line for them.
