The final book in the wickedly seductive new Scottish historical romance trilogy from New York Times bestselling author Suzanne Enoch, Hit Me With Your Best Scot!
The MacTaggert brothers have one task:
Find English brides or lose their land!
Coll MacTaggert, Viscount Glendarril, is a big, brawny
Highlander who doesn’t like being told what to do―not even by his exasperated
English mother who is determined to see her eldest son wedded and bedded.
However, when he comes to the rescue of an irresistibly beautiful woman, Coll
discovers that he may have found his perfect match…
The challenge isn’t that Persephone Jones is famous,
wealthy, independent, and smarter than anyone he knows.The problem is that she
isn't interested in marrying any man―especially not a hot-headed Scot―even if
he is the only man who seems to understand who she really is even when she’s
not sure herself. When Coll learns that Persephone is actually a lady-in-hiding
and someone is willing to kill her for what she stands to inherit…Well, Coll
has never been one to turn down a fight. When hearts are involved, nothing
comes between a Highlander and his lady.

Historical Romance
London - 19th Century
Coll MacTaggert, Viscount Glendarril, isn't going to let
anyone, even his mother, force him into a marriage without a fight. The
marriage agreement made between his parents stipulated that the money his
mother, Lady Aldriss, brought to the marriage would only fund Lord Aldriss'
Scottish estate, Aldriss Park, if all three of her sons married English women
before their only sister weds. Lady Aldriss left Scotland with her baby
daughter seventeen years before, and none of her sons had seen or heard from
her since. But now, all three men are in London to find brides before Eloise,
their sister, weds in just a few weeks. Coll is the last man standing as
brother Niall is already married, and Aden will be married in a week.
Angry that his mother has set him up, once again, with not
one but two simpering Sassenach lassies in her box at the Saint Genesius
Theatre, Coll storms out of the box and is instantly mesmerized by the lead
actress playing Rosalind in As You Like It. She, it seems, has a huge following
of adoring male fans. Mrs. Persephone Jones isn't impressed by the giant
Scotsman until he dispatches an overbearing lord who makes some threatening
comments to her.
Coll is sure that if he's going to marry any Sassenach, it
should be someone like Persephone who clearly isn't interested in marrying him.
She admits that the Mrs. part of her name is used because a widow is allowed to
live on her own. And be an actress. It's difficult for Coll to wrap his head
around an independent woman like Persephone, but his heart keeps telling him
that even though she's a mere actress, and he will be an earl some day, that
this is the woman for him.
Persephone tries to deny her attraction to Coll, but gives
up when she hires him as her protector after a series of "accidents" befall
her. The secret she is hiding could be the reason that she is being targeted by
whoever is responsible for the potentially deadly incidents. But who could be
trying to kill Persephone? And why? She's had eight years of peace while
working at Saint Genesius with no indication that anyone recognizes her.
HIT ME WITH YOUR BEST SCOT is a delightfully entertaining
read. It's a bit of a mystery, but it's all romance as Coll and Persephone
angle their ways through a mutual attraction that they can no longer deny.
Coll's family is exasperated with him as he threatens to marry an actress, even
though that very actress has flatly said no. There is plenty of humor as Coll's
physical presence clearly intimidates most of the men who are in love with
Persephone, as well as some of the potential brides his mother produces for
him.
The final book in The Wild Wicked Highlanders series, HIT ME
WITH YOUR BEST SCOT is a fun, and very romantic, tale.
