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.

Read full series description

The series begins with a tale that pulls you into a world of ancient family secrets, bold Highlanders, and a love that seems fated to endure across centuries. Each book explores the lives of strong-willed characters who are bound by more than just the pull of attraction—they are caught in a web of destiny, magic, and old-world intrigue. As love and mystery intertwine, readers are taken on a journey through fog-covered moors, crumbling castles, and unforgettable romances, where each heart-pounding moment leaves a lasting impression.

At the heart of the Midnight in Scotland series is the undeniable chemistry between the characters. These couples are fiercely loyal, incredibly passionate, and each story builds layers of tension as they navigate not only the challenges of love but the ominous forces surrounding them. Whether it’s a love rekindled in a past life or one that must withstand the pressures of an ancient curse, each romance offers something unexpected. The strong sense of place—the lush Scottish landscape, the ancient castles, and the dark, tempestuous nights—creates an atmosphere that feels as alive and unpredictable as the relationships at its core.

In every installment, Elisa Braden weaves a delicate balance of romance, suspense, and fantasy, all wrapped up in the allure of Scotland’s mystic charm. The series is perfect for readers who crave a blend of historical intrigue, rich character development, and the kind of slow-burn romance that leaves you holding your breath. In Midnight in Scotland, love isn't just a feeling; it’s an adventure, a mystery, and sometimes, a battle against forces beyond control.

If you're drawn to stories where love crosses the boundaries of time, where every kiss is laden with more than just emotion, and where the mist of Scotland conceals secrets begging to be uncovered, Midnight in Scotland invites you to lose yourself in its pages.
