Reading romance novels came easily to Elisa Braden. Writing them? That took a little longer. After graduating with degrees in creative writing and history, Elisa spent too many years in “real” jobs writing T-shirt copy ... and other people’s resumes ... and articles about giftware displays. But that was before she woke up and started dreaming about the very unreal job of being a romance novelist. Better late than never.

Elisa lives in the Pacific Northwest, where you're constitutionally required to like the colors green and gray. Good thing she does. Other items on the "like" list include cute dogs, strong coffee, and epic movies. Of course, her favorite thing of all is hearing from readers who love her characters as much as she does.

I just finished 'The Temptation of a Highlander' in one sitting ignoring all other responsibilities. I honestly cannot wait for the next one. I have been keenly paying attention to Rannoch who is my absolute favourite. What can you tell us about 'The Wickedness of a Highlander'?

I'm so glad you enjoyed Clarissa and Campbell's story. As you may know, Midnight in Scotland is planned as a 5-book series. Book 4 is The Wickedness of a Highlander, which will be Alexander MacPherson's story. Rannoch's story will be the final book in the series. It's called The Love of a Highlander. Expect to hear more about the last two MacPherson bachelors as we move through 2022.

Hi Elisa, I just wanted to thank you for sharing the lovely Rescued from Ruin series! I raced through all 11 books, and loved every single one without exception. Your books have the sort of excellent balance between heart and delicious heat that is a rare find (Lisa Kleypas is among the few who manage this successfully IMO). I'm wondering if you have more in store for us? :)

Elisa Braden You're so kind - thank you! I definitely do have more in store. While the RFR series ended with 'A Kiss from a Rogue,' I'm working now on a brand-new …moreYou're so kind - thank you! I definitely do have more in store. While the RFR series ended with 'A Kiss from a Rogue,' I'm working now on a brand-new series set in 1820s Scotland. You might think of it as a spin-off, because the first book ('The Making of a Highlander') will feature John Huxley and the extraordinary Scottish lass who ties him in knots. Their story has me by the heart, and I can't wait to share it. Watch for more news about the new series coming later this year.

Elisa Braden and 3 other people liked Bea's review of The Wickedness of a Highlander (Midnight in Scotland, #4): "This latest offering from Elisa was entirely too much fun! The story begins as a misguided revenge trope but soon morphes into a 19th century Scottish battle of the sexes!
