Emma V. Leech

Sometimes the only side to take… is the Wildsyde.
A Sparkling, Seductive Victorian romance from Best Selling Novellist Emma V Leech about a wicked distiller, a righteous lady, and the dangerous temptation of stepping beyond the lines drawn for you.
Hamilton Anderson has always been blessed with the devil’s own luck. Everything he touches turns to gold — the herring boats he inherited from his father, the shipping routes he expanded, and now the finest whisky distillery in all of Wick.
If only the Reverend Robert Halliday would stop trying to ruin his fun.

Miss Clara Halliday prides herself on being sensible, steady, and possessed of enough fortitude to survive her father’s endless sermons. When the Reverend uproots her life and drags her to Wick — a place he describes as a cesspit of sin — Clara braces herself for the worst.
She does not expect the worst to be tall, handsome, charming, and entirely too pleased with himself.
Hamilton Anderson.

Her father calls him Satan in the flesh.
Clara calls him… inconveniently attractive.

Hamilton has never been foolish enough to tangle with a vicar’s daughter. Until now. Being scolded by Clara Halliday becomes his new favourite pastime — second only to teasing her until she blushes. But the Reverend’s temperance crusade threatens Hamilton’s livelihood, and something about the movement smells wrong.

As tensions rise and Clara finds herself caught between duty and desire, Hamilton realises he’s no longer playing games. Proving to Clara that he’s not the devil her father paints him to be is becoming dangerously complicated — especially when she looks at him as though she’s tempted to walk on the wild side.

A wicked distiller.
A righteous lady.
And a temptation neither of them is prepared for.

Sometimes the only way to find the truth… is to take a walk on the Wildsyde.
