Laird Oliphant’s sons have no choice but to get married.

Without an heir, the laird has gathered his sons–his six illegitimate sons, all born in the same year–and declared whoever presents him with a grandson first, will become the next Highland Laird.
Reactions are…mixed.
But to Finn Oliphant, this is exactly the news he’s been hoping for. You see, Finn has already chosen his future wife: the vivacious and intelligent Fiona MacIan, whom he fell in love with the previous year. He knows she’s in love with him as well, so this whole “marriage ultimatum” thing should be easy-peasy. He’ll simply invite Fiona to Oliphant Castle to sign all the betrothal contracts and… Bam! Done! They can get on with the baby-making!
Except…
It’s not that Fiona is getting cold feet, exactly. She’s fairly certain she loves Finn. Mostly. Well, verra likely, at least. But she’s never been the most self-confident woman, especially compared to her sister–her identical twin sister–whom Finn happens to mistake for Fiona upon their arrival at his keep, which is super-awkward all around.
The idea of marrying Finn makes her feel all warm and giddy–hopefully that’s just lust, not the ague–but how can she be certain he truly wants her, and not just any woman?
It’s hard enough to be certain of anything on Oliphant land, especially with Finn’s mad Aunt Agatha spreading rumors, five potential brothers-in-law offering terrible advice, and a mysterious ghostly drummer keeping the entire keep awake at all hours.
And mayhap Finn should’ve mentioned his identical twin brother as well? That information likely would have saved everyone a lot of headache…and a lot of heartbreak.
Finn and Fiona have plenty to learn about themselves, and one another, before they can be certain this marriage is a good idea. But unfortunately, they’re running out of time. Dun-dun-duuuuuuuun!

A Scot Mess, Book 1 of The Hots for Scots series, was about Finn Oliphant, one of the six illegitimate sons of Laird William Oliphant, and Fiona MacIan, sister to Laird Stewart MacIan. When Finn's father, the Laird Oliphant, sat him and his five brothers down for a talk, none of them were prepared for his edict...whichever of his six sons married first and produced him with an heir would become the next Laird in his stead...and their father was determined for each of them to marry within the year. Having met and fallen in love the previous fall, Finn wasn't as upset as his siblings regarding the marriage/baby demands. In fact, his father gave him the one thing holding him back from offering for her: the "bride price" that her brother would want in exchange for her hand in marriage. When Fiona, her sister, and their brother arrived at the Oliphant estate, Finn, unfortunately, mistook her sister, Skye, as her...for Fiona had never told him that she and her sister were identical twins. Nor did Fiona immediately accept Finn's marriage proposal for she had some unknown reasons for possibly not accepting. Plus, Fiona's brother, Stewart, had told Finn that it must be Fiona's wish to marry before he, too, signed the marriage contract. Once Finn, realized Fiona might have some doubts, he backed off to give her the space she needed to consider all her options...only for her to be upset that he wouldn't even kiss her until she made her decision. Unknown to Finn or Fiona, Skye had some misgivings about their possible union...misgivings that she didn't voice until Fiona made her final choice, and then all hell broke loose when she told Fiona WHY she had such feelings. If only Finn had told all of Fiona's siblings he also had an identical twin perhaps some of the problems would not have occurred. The humor in this book, sometimes sarcastic, other times dry, and the sexual innuendoes that flowed freely throughout this story were priceless, making it hard to walk away until the very last word was read. The drama and angst, though not too high, were well done and fit the story to the point that it made it even more enjoyable. The chemistry and passion between the two main characters were off the charts hot. This book definitely earned a five-star rating and a place among the other Keeper for the Shelves novels. I can't wait to read more of this series.
