About this ebook

An angel in freefall

A year ago, Sabella Lockhart lived in sheltered gentility as the sister of a Scottish lord. Then her brother’s shocking crimes came to light, leaving her with nothing but horrifying memories, unpayable debts, and a blackened name. Before she leaves Scotland for good, she must face the family he harmed most: the MacPhersons. But when a Highland robbery takes everything but the gown on her back, she’s forced to accept help from the MacPherson who despises her more than any other. The one man she can’t forget.

A devil who burns for revenge

Alexander MacPherson hasn’t forgotten Sabella Lockhart for a single bloody moment. She’s the reason he was shot, the reason he endured a hellish recovery, the reason he hasn’t slept soundly in a year. So, when she turns up stranded and penniless in the village tavern, he offers her a position—as his maid. Let her dirty those pristine hands scrubbing floors. Let her earn those silk gowns one shilling at a time. Nothing could be more satisfying than having her sleeping under his roof and following his commands. Ruthless? Absolutely. But that’s the catch in a deal with the devil. He always takes more than his due.

A collision between heaven and hell

When Sabella rises to his challenge, her fire brings Alexander to his knees. But she doesn’t know how ruthlessly he’ll fight to keep an angel by his side. Or how dangerous a devil can be when the woman he wants more than air and whisky is threatened by a past that won’t stay buried.

Ratings and reviews

I loved The Wickedness of a Highlander, the fourth book in Elisa Braden's Midnight in Scotland series. While it can be read as a standalone, reading the series in order adds to the characters' background and development throughout the book. I loved reading Sabella and Alexander's story and found the plot entertaining and engaging. I received an ARC for the purpose of an honest review. I can't wait to revisit this book when it comes out on audio!

I have loved all this series of books, but Alexander & Sabella's story is my favourite. I read it in three day, once I started, it was so hard to put down. It was worth the long wait for it

this series has been so good! I read all 4 books in a week. I couldn't put them down. I wish the action parts were longer but over all these were great books!
