di elisarolle
Powerful.
Sensual. Seductive. He is all that is shamelessly erotic in a man. In her
sexiest Highlander novel yet, New York Times bestselling author Karen Moning
stirs up a sizzling brew of ancient mystery and modern passion as she brings
together a devilishly handsome Celtic warrior trapped in time . . . and the
woman who's about to pay the ultimate price for freeing him. Age-old secrets
haunt them. Deadly danger and irresistible desire shadow their every move. It's
a relationship for the ages. And all that separates them is a mere thirteen
hundred years. . . .
Jessi St. James has got to get a life. Too many hours studying ancient artifacts
has given the hardworking archaeology student a bad case of sex on the brain. So
she figures she must be dreaming when she spies a gorgeous half-naked man
staring out at her from inside the silvery glass of an ancient mirror. But when
a split-second decision saves her from a terrifying attempt on her life, Jessi
suddenly finds herself confronting six and a half feet of smoldering, insatiable
alpha male.
Heir to the arcane magic of his Druid ancestors, eleven centuries ago Cian
MacKeltar was trapped inside the Dark Glass, one of four coveted Unseelie
Hallows, objects of unspeakable power. When the Dark Glass is stolen, an ancient
enemy will stop at nothing to reclaim it, destroying everything in his
path-including the one woman who may just hold the key to breaking the
ninth-century Highlander's dark spell. For Jessi, the muscle-bound sex god in
the mirror is not only tantalizingly real, he's offering his protection-from
exactly what, Jessi doesn't know. And all he wants in exchange is the exquisite
pleasure of sharing her bed.
Yet even as Cian's insatiable hunger begins to work its dark magic on Jessi, his
ancient enemy is about to obtain the final and most dangerous of the Unseelie
Hallows-and the ninth-century Highlander must stop him from getting it. Nothing
less than the very fabric of the universe and two passionately entwined lives
are at stake-as Cian and Jessi fight to claim the kind of love that comes along
but once in an ice age. . .
