First Time in Paperback
SummaryLaird of an ancient, powerful Scottish clan, Duncan Macrae
is committed to ending the ceaseless strife between Scotland
and England. But he also has other, secret powers—those
of a Guardian, humans with mystical abilities to control
nature's forces and see into the hearts of others. And from
the moment he encounters the young and independent English
widow Gwyneth Owens, his fiery spirit is irrevocably drawn
to claim her as his own—a passion that will not only
set his loyalty to his land against his sworn Guardian vows,
but will also threaten everything he cherishes most.
Though Gwynne's father was a Guardian, she believes that she
has inherited only her mother's beauty, not her father's
power. Then one kiss from the dangerously alluring Laird of
the Macraes ignites a hunger that shakes her to her
soul—and reveals visions of a looming catastrophe that
threatens England and Scotland both. Only by becoming
Duncan's wife, and ultimately betraying the man she loves,
can she avert disaster.
As destiny and two mighty nations clash, Gwynne and Duncan
must push their powers and passions beyond the most
forbidden limits if they are to save their love—and
secure the future.
