Constance Campbell, the Duchess of Kilmaine, once believed that all she needed in life was a duke. But everything unraveled when she realized her perfect husband was a perfect monster. Now broken beyond repair, she hides her misery behind a perfect Society mask...even from her childhood friend, Alec.
Dr. Alec McGuiness reluctantly finds himself back in Scotland, and checking up on the only woman to ever get under his skin, Connie. After she spurned him many years ago, he knows his humble life as a doctor could never be enough for her. But when the Duke of Kilmaine is murdered in cold blood, with Connie sleeping right next to him in bed, Alec knows he must protect Connie at all costs from those who would frame her for the duke’s murder.
Now on the run, Connie feels a freedom she only ever dreamed about, and an unexpected attraction to the man who is keeping her safe. But even if they can win her freedom and clear her name, could she ever open her heart up to someone again?

The Sinful Scot is book three in Maddison Michael’s Saints & Scoundrels series. Set in 1857 Victorian era Scotland, this is a dark and possibly triggering romance. The heroine is trapped in a violent and abusive marriage. But her husband is a Duke and what can she do against someone with so much clout and power? I enjoyed the first part of the book. But somewhere along the way, the pace slowed and I began to lose interest. I actually put it down for a few days. Once I returned to it, the pace picked up again, and the story finished with an exciting bang. All that to say- please – press through. I liked the heroine Constance Campbell. She is a lovely character with strength and wit. The hero Dr. McGuiness is a swoon-worthy Scot who can be frustrating at times, but still quite the heartthrob. I just wish the book had been a bit shorter. But the story has a few twists and turns that I didn’t expect. Because this book covers sensitive topics, the author has included a trigger warning at the very beginning. It is dark, but it also ends happily.
