To Save a Highland Sinner by Lori Ann Bailey

Abandoned as a child, Kate Mitchell learned young that to stay ahead of heartache, she must pretend to be someone other than herself. She survives by deceiving others. Due to one of her schemes, her adopted family is on the verge of losing their home. To make amends, she plans the ultimate deception. Assuming a different name, she attends a house party to swindle her abusive, perverse landlord. But someone is standing in her way, an intriguing Highland constable. Giving up is not an option, so she attempts to dodge the man, who immediately sees through her disguise. The pressure increases as she discovers he intends to find out her real identity, and he’s on a mission to destroy the man who saved her from a life on the streets.

After experiencing the ultimate betrayal by his parents, Gavin Davidson has hardened his heart and dedicated his life to finding justice for neglected and abused children. He despises deception in any form. When his current case takes him to a gathering at a country estate, he finds an enticing woman pretending to be someone she is not. What are her ties to the notorious Aberdeen street gang he’s determined to take down? And why is she attempting to get close to the dangerous men he’s chasing? Untangling her lies may be the key to settling old scores.

When their paths collide, sparks fly, and they play a dangerous game that could end with one of them dead.
