Not on Officer Maggie Kyle’s Christmas bingo card: • A homemade bomb in a bus station locker. • A child, the prime suspect in the bombing. • Her partner of ten years abandoning her to solve the case on her own. Max St. James might be the worst cop in the world—or at least in Toronto: • He fell in love with his partner. • He’s the reason she never became a detective. • He doesn’t much care who planted the bomb. The IED’s blast ignites years of tension, sending Maggie and Max careening in opposite directions—but opposites still attract. Can they find a way to come together to solve the case before another bomb goes off? And will it mean another ten years sacrificing the future they want for the partnership they already have?

It was a marriage of convenience for everyone except the bride and groom. He never wanted to be a laird. She never wanted to marry one. Wee Ellen Mackintosh, sickly and quieter than a church mouse, holds a secret that even time hasn't healed. Unable to use her voice since childhood, she's not up to being lady of the castle, but her father wants a MacKenzie son-in-law. So when the giant Silas Mackenzie returns to the Highlands, both their fathers' schemes take off like runaway stallions. Too tall and broad for anyone's good, but especially his own, Silas breaks everything he touches. To appease his dying father and an increasingly rebellious clan, Si reluctantly agrees to the marriage, vowing to keep it in his kilt no less so when he sees the tiny, perfect creature they expect him to wed. Unwanted but undeniable, the spark between them burns hotter by the day, even as they try to push each other away. But can Silas fight the monsters within his clan—or at war within himself—without her? Or will Ellen finally find her voice, only to disappear forever?
Determined heroine, sympathetic hero - up to a point - with an excellent mix of hijinks and danger. Rose Prendeville is an author to watch and Mistress Mackintosh and the Shaw Wretch is a delightful historical romance. Highly recommend!" —Elizabeth Everett, author of A Lady's Formula for Love Description In 1725, a secret convent has been established on the Aberdeenshire coast. Jory Mackintosh is more excited by healing herbs than husbands or holy prayers. She craves freedom—and a chance to sneak into medical school. Instead, on the eve of her escape, she becomes an unwilling pawn in her family’s schemes with a rival clan. Finlay Shaw, the disgraced younger brother of the laird, has spent ten long years atoning for his past failures, but nothing can wash away the stain of fratricide. When the clans order him to escort Jory to her new life as a nun, thus securing an alliance with the freshly formed Black Watch, it’s his last chance for redemption. Too bad for Finn, Jory has no intention of following orders. Trapped on the road together, often with only one bed between them, the two butt heads and match wits, forced to acknowledge the dark shadows that have haunted them both for years. Can they learn to trust each other, and themselves, to fly in the face of their families’ wishes, or will they choose the solitary futures they always believed they deserve in this unorthodox runaway bride story? Mistress Mackintosh & the Shaw Wretch is the first volume of the new Brides of Chattan series, a Highland historical romance, set in Jacobite Scotland featuring a feisty heroine and cinnamon roll hero, enemies to lovers on a road trip. If you enjoy authors like Elizabeth Everett, Jennifer Ashley, Manda Collins, Evie Dunmore, Joanna Lowell, Julia Quinn, and Tessa Dare, checkout this delightful romance today.
