A Warrior of Immortal Powers

He was a mighty Scottish warrior who lived in a world bound by ancient laws and timeless magic. But no immortal powers could prepare the laird of Castle Brodie for the lovely accursed lass who stood before him. A terrible trick of fate had sent her 700 years back in time and into his private chamber to tempt him with her beauty - and seduce him with a desire he could never fulfill. For this woman he burned to possess was also the woman he had foresworn to destroy.

A Woman Caught in the Mists of Time

When Lisa felt the earth move under her feet, the fiercely independent 21st-century woman never dreamed she was falling...into another century. But the powerful, naked warrior who stood glaring down at her was only too real...and too dangerously arousing. Irresistibly handsome he might be, but Lisa had no intention of remaining in this savage land torn by treachery and war. How could she know that her seductive captor had other plans for her...plans that would save her from a tragic fate? Or that this man who had long ago forsaken love would defy time itself to claim her for his own....

Library Journal

When an ancient curse snatches Lisa from a museum director's office and deposits her in the "bathroom" of a 14th-century Highland laird's castle--complete with naked laird--she is drawn into a convoluted web of treachery and intrigue and attracted to the barbaric Highlander despite her need to return home to her dying mother. But Lisa's not-quite-mortal laird has other ideas--plus an old and potentially deadly vow to take care of--and although everything does work out, it takes a bit of doing. Engaging characters, intrigue, and a healthy portion of magic are part of a well-written romance that will appeal to readers who like their love stories sensual, complex, and laced with fantasy. Moning's Beyond the Highland Mist won the Waldenbooks Award for best-selling first novel; she lives in Cincinnati. Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.
