Five years later, when the Marquess of Eddingham breaks his engagement to her cousin Alice and turns his attentions on Catriona for her dowry, the headstrong Catriona takes fate into her hands. She has followed Simon’s exploits under Admiral Nelson’s command, and his receiving a knighthood for saving his captain’s wife. Unfortunately, since his return to England, Simon has fallen back on his rakish ways.

Catriona meets Simon, who is in Newgate Prison, incarcerated for seducing a Magistrate’s daughter, and offers a proposal: she will give him half of her dowry if Simon will marry her and take her to Scotland so she can find her missing brother, Connor.

Simon, seeking freedom and wealth, has one stipulation: he demands the rights of a true husband. Catriona, surprised by Simon’s request but holding tender feelings towards him, agrees. They head for Gretna Green, determined not to lose their hearts. Yet neither anticipates the sensual pleasures which await them... or the discoveries they make along the way.

Some Like It Wicked is a sensual read, fast paced, filled with passion and humor. Simon is delightfully wicked as he hides his pain behind a devil-may-care attitude. Catrionia, while sensually naïve, is a headstrong heroine who encourages us to cheer her on as she slowly wins Simon’s heart, despite his desire to keep it safe. Teresa Medeiros is a first-class author who uses the written word to exhilarate our senses and feelings. Some Like It Wicked is an unforgettable story of love that is to be treasured and read over and over again — truly a first-class keeper.
