Three beautiful agents for the crown, three prime suspects, one sinister plot to destroy a fledgling kingdom... Meet the Queen's Angels!
Prequel: The Bruce's Pirate
This story is set in the Sinclair Jewels world.
Lady Charlotte MacLeod is desperate to escape marriage to a traitor, so she turns pirate. As the notorious Black Banner, she's able to capture the Queen's ship, and finally get someone to hear her evidence. But she doesn't expect the Queen to be guarded by the man who once stole her innocence and her heart.
Liam Bruce has spent years serving his royal cousin. While he doesn't begrudge this latest guard duty, he does regret that it's keeping him from returning to MacLeod land and the fiery angel he can't forget. But when he unmasks a dangerous pirate in the middle of a desperate battle, 'tis his Charlotte spitting curses at him!
Now it's up to Liam to protect his love from charges of royal treason. Can he convince Charlotte to trust him again?
The Highlander's Angel
When Robert the Bruce's queen formed the Angels, an elite group of spies masquerading as her ladies in waiting, she probably didn't imagine they'd be called on to save her life. But that's what happens Queen Elizabeth is entertaining the Ross delegation.
Luckily, her lady Courtney is deadly with a bow, and recognizes the assassin. Court's history with the band of thieves and murderers who raised her means she has a very different skill set than most women in the queen's retinue, and she's not afraid to employ it. But she is used to working alone, and the idea of being saddled with an unwanted partner--particularly when that man is gorgeous, dangerous, and a suspect--is galling.
Ross Fraser, the queen's longtime bodyguard, can't believe one of his kinsmen could be involved in this dastardly plot. He'll do everything in his power to prove his clan is innocent of treason, even if it means partnering with a testy and deadly thief-turned-spy... One who holds his heart in her hands after that single night they spent together years ago.
Ross must choose between his loyalty to his laird and his loyalty to his heart, as Court's "family" proves she doesn't even understand what loyalty is. When metal hits meat, can this unlikely duo learn to trust each other, or will the plot to bring down the Scottish monarchy succeed?

The Laird's Angel
As a member of the Queen's Angels--an elite trio of secret agents, masquerading as ladies-in-waiting to Queen Elizabeth Bruce--Melisandre Lamond has a most useful skill: Seduction. Mayhap 'tis her ability to understand others' desires, or mayhap a yearning for acceptance; whatever the root, Mellie has become skilled in the art of love, and knows all the right ways to get a man to spill his...secrets.
After an assassination attempt on the Queen, all evidence points to the Frasers of Lovat, surely under orders from their new laird, the deceptively handsome Lachlan Fraser. But even Mellie is surprised when the Queen announces the seductive Angel's betrothal to the traitor, wondering how far her loyalty to the Crown really extends. Can Mellie tempt Lachlan into revealing his treasonous plans, before she's forced to actually marry the man?
After the Scottish War for Independence, all Lachlan Fraser wants for his clan is peace. He's happy working with his hands, building a strong future for his family and his beloved daughter. But duty calls him to Scone, where he's surprised to learn of his betrothal to one of the Queen's ladies...the very knife-wielding wench who'd so recently saved him from a cutpurse's attack!
He'll marry her, aye, but Lachlan vows to unravel Lady Melisandre's riddles first! Because once he gets her home and sees the way she effortlessly wins over his daughter, and the rest of the Frasers, he begins to suspect she's not the cold and haughty lady she makes herself out to be. Will this mismatched couple discover the truth about each other in time, before the assassin strikes again? Or will their secrets remain hidden, the consequences of their stubbornness leading to a lethal outcome?

The Pirate's Angel
The Black Banner has been the scourge of the Western Isles for as long as there have been stories of fierce and bloodthirsty pirates. But sometimes, a lady is desperate.
Tavish MacLeod is the latest in a long line to wear the black kilt, but life has gotten simpler since his twin sister became Scotland's spy-mistress. Sure, he's pillaging and burning less often, but thanks to his royal connections, he and his crew are handed all the juiciest opportunities to help Scotland's interests at sea. A royal privateer, so to speak.
Which will come in handy, since this latest mission won't just determine the fate of Scotland's monarchy, but Tav's very future!
Lady Isabel de Strathbogie is one of the Queen's Angels, an elite group of spies masquerading as ladies-in-waiting. She loves her place at court, secure in her knowledge of her skills and her place...until disaster strikes. When her young son is kidnapped along with one of the royal princesses, Isabel's desperation rivals the Queen's.
No one can know of this danger to the royal succession, which means Isabel is on her own for this mission... And she'll do anything to save her child, even if it means partnering with an uncouth barbarian in pirate garb. But no matter how he makes her pulse pound and her heart long for something long missing, she cannot allow Tavish MacLeod's allure to distract her.
But when they come face-to-face with the enemy, that very allure might be all that can save her...and the children. Can she trust their future to a man with such a murky past?
