Publisher Description
A medieval Scottish earl schools a British widow in the art of seduction in this romance by the bestselling author of Every Bit a Rogue.
She’s his in every way . . .
When newly widowed Lady Fiona Libourg flees to Scotland in need of protection, Lord Gavin McLendon is powerless to refuse the British beauty. Especially when she offers herself in exchange. Now the brooding Scottish warrior can think of nothing else but ravishing his delectable new mistress, even though he’s dutybound to marry another . . .
But one . . .
Fiona is shocked when Gavin accepts her scandalous offer—and fretful at the thought that he will discover how little she knows of seduction. But when Gavin proves to be a skilled and achingly sensuous teacher, Fiona doesn't want their passionate arrangement to end. Now she can't help but wonder just what it would take to go from Scottish mistress . . . to Scottish wife.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Basso (How to Seduce a Sinner) sets this heartwarming odd-couple romance in the highlands of 1306 Scotland. Lady Fiona Libourg has just one goal: to foster her injured son, Spencer, with a strong knight so that he can grow up to reclaim his English barony from the usurper who killed his father. Lacking money and power, Fiona strikes a desperate bargain with Gavin McLendon, the Scottish Earl of Kirkland, offering herself as a mistress in a trade for Spencer's future. Gavin's first impulse is to refuse, as rallying the clans to support Robert Bruce is hard enough without harboring an English widow. In the end, his attraction for Fiona and fondness for her late husband lead him to accept the bargain. As Spencer overcomes his infirmity and finds a place in Gavin's household, Fiona and Gavin share likes and dislikes, hopes and dreams, and tender moments both in and out of bed. In the end, the political strife barely hampers their love affair; it's just a sweet, delightful progression from attraction to all-encompassing love.
