All Scot and Bothered

A cruel upbringing in the English countryside hasn’t kept Cecelia Teague down. After being whisked away by a mysterious benefactor, Cecelia is sent to a premier boarding school in Switzerland and then the Sorbonne, where she studies mathematics. There she and her closest friends found the Red Rogues, a trio of whip-smart redheads who vow to live extraordinary lives. After the marriage of one of the Rogues, Cecelia’s benefactor dies suspiciously, and Cecelia inherits a London gaming hall disguised as a school for girls. She’s also given a coded journal and a young ward to teach. Cassius Ramsey, Lord Chief Justice of the High Court, has long suspected that the establishment was a front for trafficking girls and vows to continue his relentless investigation until he witnesses a brutal attack on Cecelia and her pupil. Cassius’s inner turmoil over his attraction to Cecelia only intensifies when he must harbor her and the young charge from danger in Scotland.
