Without an heir, he's gathered his sons—his six illegitimate sons, all born in the same year—and declared whoever presents him with a grandson first will become the next Highland laird.Reactions are...mixed.But to Finn Oliphant, this is exactly the news he's been waiting for. He's already chosen his wifely candidate: his love, the vivacious and intelligent Fiona MacIan. And since she loves him in return, this whole "marriage ultimatum" thing should be easy-peasy. He'll invite her to the Oliphant keep to sign all the betrothal contracts, and Bam! Done! They can get on with the babies! Except...It's not that Fiona is getting cold feet, exactly. She's fairly certain she loves Finn. Mostly. Well, verra likely, at least. But she's never been the most self-confident of women, especially compared to her sister. Her identical twin sister, whom Finn mistakes for her upon arrival, which is super-awkward all around.The idea of marrying Finn makes her warm and giddy—hopefully that's just lust, not the ague—but how can she be certain he wants her? It's hard enough to be certain of anything on Oliphant land, what with mad Aunt Agatha spreading rumors, five potential brothers-in-law offering terrible advice, and a mysterious ghostly drummer keeping them awake at all hours. And mayhap Finn should've mentioned his identical twin brother, too? That would have saved everyone a lot of headache...and heartbreak.Finn and Fiona have plenty to learn about themselves and one another before they can be certain this marriage is a good idea. But unfortunately, they're running out of time. Dun-dun-duuuuuuuun! ***Warning: this comedy of errors is not for uptight prudes. There's plenty of naughty scenes, more than a few anachronistic jokes, and an embarrassing number of mistaken-identity gags. Only pick up this book if you have a sense of humor, please. less

As one of the laird’s bastard sons, he’s determined to prove his worth by managing the Oliphants’ correspondence, alliances, land stewardship, trading schedules, and about a million other (boring) aspects of keeping a busy Highland clan going.When his father declares that whichever of his sons marries and produces a son first will become the next laird, Alistair figures his destiny has finally arrived. The only problem is that he just doesn’t have the time to find a wife…Luckily, he doesn’t have to. Because right under his oblivious nose is a woman who is ready and willing and just waiting to hit him over the head with her long-time crush. Lara Oliphant has grown up with the Oliphant bastards, but as their best friend’s younger sister, none of them have given her a second look. Which is a shame, because she’s done quite a lot of looking when it comes to Alistair. And as a result of Lara’s embarrassingly voyeuristic lifestyle, she’d decided she’s the only one who can set the poor man straight.Or rather…not straight. If Alistair got any straighter, she could shove a wick up his rear and call him a candle. What he needs is someone to show him how to bend, how to relax…how to have a little fun. And Lara is just the woman to do it. Assuming she can convince him to see her as a woman!Warning: Full of naughty shenanigans and ridiculous jokes, and more than a few eye-rollingly bad puns. Come for the spicy bits, stay for the humor; welcome to another installment of the hilarious Hots for Scots series! less

Six brothers started this mess, and now there’s only one man left standing. Kiergan Oliphant considers himself the only sane one in his family; how else to explain why all five of his brothers have fallen in love and gotten married, just because their father made a stupid ultimatum? Sure, the laird declared whichever son married and produced a son first would become his heir…but is that really any reason for a man to give up his freedom?Because if there’s one thing Kiergan likes, it’s freedom... moreSix brothers started this mess, and now there’s only one man left standing. Kiergan Oliphant considers himself the only sane one in his family; how else to explain why all five of his brothers have fallen in love and gotten married, just because their father made a stupid ultimatum? Sure, the laird declared whichever son married and produced a son first would become his heir…but is that really any reason for a man to give up his freedom?Because if there’s one thing Kiergan likes, it’s freedom. And women. And those little berry tart things the cook makes. And the freedom to do things to and with women. So…four? Aye, four things he likes.Which is good, because there’s not much else he’s good at. His brothers all have their talents and responsibilities, while Kiergan has been content to be relegated to the role of rake. He has no desire to be the next laird, which would not only mean less time for pleasure, but being saddled with a wife.…Ugh. No thank you.Of course, his father has other plans. Enter the MacKinnon sisters: Davina is beautiful, desirable, and would make a brilliant alliance for the Oliphant clan, while Katlyn is…not. So of course, ‘tis Katlyn who intrigues Kiergan, with her strange eyes and even stranger ideas.Katlyn MacKinnon knows exactly who she is, and her worth as well. Upon her birth, the Devil himself marked her, giving her eyes of two different colors. Her curse means she’ll never marry or secure alliances, but that doesn’t mean she can’t have a little fun…So what happens when these two independent hearts get caught in bed together? Hilarious shenanigans, of course!Warning: This book contains crude jokes, lewd puns, and more than a little slapstick. Get ready to laugh out loud in this side-splitting adventure, full of secret passages, revolving bookshelves, a damned annoying ghost, and one stubborn rake! less

The battle to determine the next laird comes down to this fierce moment...the Oliphant brothers sitting around, drinking ale, while their wives go into labor.After finishing his studies to become a doctor, Graham followed the woman he loved to Oliphant Castle and discovered—among other things—that he was not the fatherless, family-less bastard he’d always assumed... moreThe battle to determine the next laird comes down to this fierce moment...the Oliphant brothers sitting around, drinking ale, while their wives go into labor.After finishing his studies to become a doctor, Graham followed the woman he loved to Oliphant Castle and discovered—among other things—that he was not the fatherless, family-less bastard he’d always assumed. Well, he was still a bastard, but now he was an Oliphant bastard; he had a father who loved him and six brothers who cared as fiercely as they fought. He’d found a home.And he might’ve been happy, had Davina MacKinnon been allowed to share it with him. But her grandfather has never seen him as good enough for her or the future of the MacKinnon clan, and despite her sister’s marriage to one of Graham’s brothers, Davina was dragged away.But now she’s returned to be with her sister during her confinement, and Graham—being a medical man—has been called back to Oliphant Castle, as well, to help with all the bairns about to be born. Whichever Oliphant wife births the laird’s first grandson will ensure her husband becomes the next laird, so the stakes are high...But none so high as Graham and Davina’s.Between the bairns popping out left and right (seriously, this is getting ridiculous), they’ve got to find a way to convince her grandfather they deserve to be together. Luckily, there’s a way to distract the old man, and the Ghostly Drummer of Oliphant Castle might just make a comeback...Warning: Contains anachronistic medical knowledge, rather a lot of madcap hijinks, a few really naughty bits, and more laugh-out-loud moments than you can shake a stick at, were you the kind to shake sticks at things. Check out the grand finale to this hilariously sexy series everyone’s talking about! less
