About Anna Durand

Anna Durand is a bestselling, multi-award-winning author of contemporary and paranormal romance. Her books have earned bestseller status on every major retailer and wonderful reviews from readers around the world. But that's the boring spiel. Here are the really cool things you want to know about Anna!

Born on Lackland Air Force Base in Texas, Anna grew up moving here, there, and everywhere thanks to her dad's job as an instructor pilot. She's lived in Texas (twice), Mississippi, California (twice), Michigan (twice), and Alaska—and now Ohio.

As for her writing, Anna has always made up stories in her head, but she didn’t write them down until her teen years. Those first awful books went into the trash can a few years later, though she learned a lot from those stories. Eventually, she would pen her first romance novel, the paranormal romance Willpower, and she’s never looked back since.

"Ex" marks the hottest spot.

Having a fling with my ex-husband is a huge mistake. I might have walked out two years ago, but he divorced me. A meddling friend has set us up on a blind date, and though I should know better, I still can't resist Jack MacTaggart's hot body and his sensual skills. After one steamy afternoon in a Scottish hotel room, it's over—again.

But we forgot something on that day when we gave in to our mutual lust.

Autumn Flowerday left me without explaining why. Now she's back—with a revelation that changes everything. We're having a baby. All we've ever done is argue and shag, but that's not enough. Aye, the sex is bloody fantastic. But with a child on the way, we need to settle our differences. Maybe we have a chance…

Until the entire MacTaggart clan decides to help us out. Bloody hell.

The Notorious Dr. MacT: A Hot Scots Prequel Jun 28, 2022

by Anna Durand

$2.99

Their forbidden attraction is undeniable, but giving in could make them both notorious.

I left Scotland to get away from troubles back home, but I never expected to fall for a bonnie American lass. She's twenty-two. I'm thirty-seven. I will never make love to Rae Evehart, and I shouldn't even spend time with her. But being with Rae makes me feel lighter, as if the burdens of my past have vanished.

Despite our age gap, I can't resist this desire for much longer.

Iain MacTaggart is the hottest man on earth. I love his accent, his intelligence, and his rugged good looks. I need him to kiss me, but he always shies away from that. I get that I'm younger and that bothers him. But the deeper I fall for Iain, the less I care about what's right or wrong.

Then I finish my final exams, and I'm technically no longer a student. One night changes everything—and ruins us both. But I get a surprise not long after Iain vanishes from my life.

Will he ever know the secret I keep? Only fate knows the answer.

The Notorious Dr. MacT is a Hot Scots prequel that reveals the full backstory of Iain and Rae, going beyond what's revealed in Notorious in a Kilt (Hot Scots, Book Five).

The hunter always gets his man, but one woman has outwitted him.

Everyone fears me, even my family. But I don't care if I'm a black sheep. I've dedicated my life to traveling the world to hunt down fugitives no one else can catch. Maybe I use my dangerous image as a shield—against criminals and my own clan—but being a loner is the price I pay for the life I've chosen.

No one gets away from me. No one except Piper Lang.

I didn't murder my boss, but Magnus MacTaggart doesn't care about truth or justice. He wants to get paid, and I'm his meal ticket. The tattooed bad-boy bounty hunter doesn't scare me. What does? The mysterious billionaire who wants me, dead or alive, and who hired Magnus to find me.

Piper's guilt or innocence means nothing to me. But something about her drives me to do the last thing any hunter should—give in to our explosive hunger for each other. No matter how many times she escapes me, I will track her to the ends of the earth and back again.

Piper Lang is my obsession.

Strap in for a wild ride in Relentless in a Kilt, the eleventh book in the bestselling Hot Scots series of contemporary romances. Coming soon in audio narrated by Shane East & Emma Wilder.

But Luke Turner has returned—by crashing my cousin's wedding reception, no less. Has he come to win me back? No. The scunner wants to "study" me so he can determine how to disabuse me of my Wiccan beliefs.

Maybe Luke is the only man who ever made me wish I were "normal," but I don't feel that way anymore.

Kirsty MacTaggart was my first love—until she announced she's a witch. The girl must be insane to believe she has "witchy powers." Twelve years after we broke up, I find myself face to face with the only woman I've ever loved. But the experiment I'm about to conduct isn't quite what I've told Kirsty it is. Will she ever forgive me when she finds out my ulterior motive?

by Anna Durand

$2.99

When a sweet Scot meets a hot Brit with a mysterious past, can she resist the irresistible?

I never let anyone into my life, much less my heart. Teaching college students keeps me busy, and the occasional anonymous shag satisfies my urges. But then a bonnie Scots lass walks into my world, and everything changes. I shouldn't be with Catriona MacTaggart. She awakens something in me that needs to stay buried. I should keep away, but I can't do it.

Seducing her is a mistake. Living with her might be the worst disaster of all.

The moment I saw Alex Thorne, I knew I wanted to be with him. No other man has ever made me feel so alive and so confused at the same time. The harder I try to get to know him, the further he pulls away. But something about him keeps me coming back for more—until the day catastrophe strikes, and I finally have no choice but to leave him.

The British Bastard wrecked me, but I have the strangest feeling fate isn't done with us yet.

The British Bastard is a Hot Scots prequel that reveals the full backstory of Alex and Catriona, going beyond what's revealed in Irresistible in a Kilt (Hot Scots, Book Eight).

The sweetest lies are the most seductive…

Eleven years ago, I fell in love with Alex Thorne. He was beautiful, charming, sexy, and the best lover I'd ever had. He's also a bloody liar. Every word that comes out of his mouth is a half-truth, a con, or an evasion. Now I find out my dream job at a university in America is his way of pulling me back into his world. I will never, never fall under the spell of the British Bastard again.

Catriona MacTaggart is the one that got away. The Scottish lass has fire in her soul and in her eyes, especially when she punches me. I can handle that. Maybe the truth and I do have a different sort of relationship, but I've never lied about my feelings for Cat. I'll do whatever it takes to get her back, even if it means deceiving her.

Alex still knows exactly how to get under my skin, and despite all my intentions, I still can't resist that body and that smile. Maybe it's time I turn the tables and seduce the seducer, to finally solve the mystery he doesn't want me to unravel.

Who is Alex Thorne?

They call him Lord Steamy.

Who am I? These days, even I'm not sure how to answer that question. After years of trying to avoid serious relationships, I finally found a woman who made me want to settle down—and promptly lost her. To my best friend. What's a viscount to do now?

Very naughty things, naturally. But my skill at smooth-talking the ladies has gotten me tangled up in a scandal that threatens to destroy my family's reputation and our livelihood.

My salvation comes in the form of a sexy American hired by my mother to polish up my public image. How? With a fake relationship, of course. Avery Hahn claims pretending to date me will silence the wagging tongues and get a certain duke off my back.

Yes, I might be headed for another disaster.

He's James Bond in a kilt.

I hate Logan MacTaggart. He's rude, crude, and the last man on earth I'd ever get involved with. But every filthy thing he says makes me want to rip his clothes off. Or smack him. Sometimes both. Logan tempts me to do naughty things in inappropriate places, and I can't resist giving in.

Serena Carpenter is a bitch. Every time she slaps me and calls me disgusting, I want to drag her into the nearest dark corner and show her exactly how rude I can be. The last thing I want is a relationship. Once I seduce her, I'll walk away. After all, an ex-spy doesn't get a happy ending.

If Logan and I didn't work together, maybe we could stay away from each other. But I see him every day, and the more I see him the more I crave that infuriating man. It's not fair for a jerk to be so hot and irresistible. We're completely wrong for each other. But maybe...
