An ancient highlander who's never been allowed to love. A modern woman who keeps men at arm's length. Can their passion overcome their pasts?
Althea Jarden's botanical fieldwork keeps her happily busy, but it has kept her from relationships as well-by design. Because deep passions can overwhelm her, she concluded long ago that a conventional life was not for her. She's learned to depend on herself. But all the self-reliance in the world can't prepare her for being taken to ancient Scotland and what she finds there.Chieftain Brennus Skaraven would like nothing better than to remain dead, his legendary clan buried and forgotten. Anything would be preferable to suffering the manipulations of the druids. But when a strange lass comes crashing into his life, he discovers more than a reason to live. He finds the one thing that had always been denied to him and his kind-love.
