The Wicked Ways of Alexander Kidd
Book 2 in the Highland Heirs series
October 28 2014
AN INNOCENT STOWAWAY
As the sheltered niece of a Highland chief, Caitrina Grant longs for adventure beyond the lush hills of Scotland. So when a pirate ship glides into the loch, tempting her with promises of exotic lands and hidden treasures, Trina sneaks aboard. But she is unprepared for the consequences-and the seductive captain who demands the ultimate price for her deception.
A SINFUL PIRATE
For Alexander Kidd, the sea is no place for a lady. Pursued by deadly enemies from every direction, Alex won't rest until he claims the bounty of riches left to him by his father, the notorious Captain Kidd. A stowaway will not be tolerated-no matter how beautiful. But soon fighting his desire for Trina becomes his toughest battle yet, and he will have to make an agonizing choice: sacrifice his quest-or lose the woman who has stolen his heart.
Reviews
"Swashbuckling and dangerous and so damned funny. I absolutely enjoyed every minute. Quinn depicts life aboard Alexander’s ship so well I felt like one of the deck hands watching it all unfold with my own eyes. Hunted by enemies far and wide, sailing with Alexander is the thrill of a lifetime and more than Trina knew she could ever handle. Their love affair was destiny. Watching them crash together and break apart like the ocean waves they sailed on was beyond entertaining." Smexy Books
"Quinn’s vivid second Highland Heirs novel (after The Seduction of Miss Amelia Bell), set in 18th-century Scotland, captures some of the most popular elements of historical romance: a beautiful stowaway, a dangerously sexy pirate, and the search for an elusive treasure...Quinn’s steamy and well constructed romance will appeal to fans and newcomers alike." Publishers Weekly
"Sweeps readers off on an outstanding high seas adventure. The Scottish highlands and a pirate ship provide the colorful setting for this well-written, exciting and action- packed romance. Quinn transports readers into a delightfully innovative love story with an unusual plot and unconventional characters." 4 1/2 Stars~ RT Book Reviews

"I love Paula Quinn. She knows how to create just the right amount of romance and action. It is hard to create a good pirate romance story but Paula nails. This is very different from her other books. There are highland elements mixed with the stories of the sea." 4 Stars from Smitten By Books- Samantha
"THE WICKED WAYS OF ALEXANDER KIDD begins with a bang. Ms. Quinn sets and maintains a brisk pace of daring adventures on the high seas and in exotic locales favored by pirates while keeping the sexual tension between Trina and Alex as taut as Trina’s bowstring. I was totally captivated." 4 1/2 Stars from Novels Alive -Ivy
