In the few weeks that Nora, a young Irish girl, has been in service to Dr. Damian Thatch as a housemaid, he has been most pleased with her performance of her duties, but has not yet made an attempt to seduce her into submission. Not wanting to appear to be considering her as anything other than a house servant, he had kept communications between them appropriate for her position. Surely, he reasoned, that a scenario might arise naturally where he would have the opportunity to pursue his more prurient interests in her.

Inheriting the family estate has resulted in many disruptions to Dr. Damian Thatch’s life. His unwillingness to give up his practice and become a gentleman of leisure has caused Lady Juliette to leave him, and she took Rosie with her, leaving him without his submissive house maid. Frustrated by having to be careful so as not to leave marks on the masochistic Lady Bridgette, Damian goes to Madame Q’s Nunnery to have his way with a dolly mop. While physically satisfying, however, he finds that purchasing pleasure takes away from his desire for conquest.

Fire and ice. Powerful forces on their own. Combined? Invincible passion. When mighty Thorburn MacDougall, commander of the Lord of Argyll’s warriors, overpowers the canniest Norwegian he’s ever battled, he rips off the man’s helm to savor the look of horror right before delivering the killing blow.

Sometimes the best revenge is to thrive… When Ross MacDougall, fearless warrior, frequenter of brothels, and seducer of other men’s wives, receives word that the Lord of Argyll wishes to reward him for their latest campaign, he’s skeptical. His liege’s gifts are often dubious blessings. Oftentimes, more like curses. Turns out he’s right to be leery. The reward is an Irish lass who looks like a grubby boy meant to work in the stables. And she's not intended to be Ross’s slave. She’s meant to be his wife. Men turn away from Elise O’Cleirigh because of the accursed red stain on her right cheek.
