Highland Magic
by Christine Young
Release Date: November 29, 2011
Rogue Phoenix Press
Length: 268 Pages
Blurb:
Throughout
the Highlands she is known as Keely, the witch woman. She is a great healer-a
woman whose dreams come true. Ian MacPherson is a man who puts honor, loyalty
and duty above everything. Their lives are entwined when Ian is sent by the
Scottish King to bring Keely to trial for witchcraft. He is attacked and left
for dead, but Keely rescues him.
When he wakes, he discovers he has no memory.
As he remembers his lost past, Ian finds that his need to protect the woman who
has saved his life eclipses his duty to his king and country., He is a man torn
between honor and duty to his country and the woman he loves.
Excerpt:
'Twas bliss. A sweet summer's song.
Her image was too enchanting, too mysterious, too
elusive to hold. She danced through his imagination, a summer breeze, soft,
sweet and languid.
Making love to Keely seemed so real, yet he sensed
his memory was naught but a dream. Warmth filled and surrounded his body. He
didn't want to wake from the all-encompassing, magical dream claiming him.
She trailed one long, slim finger across his jaw.
For a moment, his body jolted then shuddered from the delicate yet fleeting
contact. With his hands, he framed her face and memorized every detail, every
curve and hollow.
Her lips parted as if she meant to speak, but the
gesture was an invitation he wished to partake of and explore more thoroughly
with a kiss.
She was untried and innocent. In his arms, she was
every fantasy come true. Her fingers wove into his hair at the back of his neck
and she pulled his lips to hers. He reveled in the dream and the hope that
perhaps she wanted him, perhaps as much as he wanted her.
He kissed her, his tongue tracing the seam of her
lips, urging them to open for him. She sighed softly, her breath whispering
across his lips, but she didn't grant him entrance.
He kissed her cheeks, her nose and she watched him,
studying him with intense concentration and tilting her head a little bit
sideways. Her amber eyes intensely passionate and shining with desire.
"Obrian," she whispered. The smile she
gifted him with sent him spiraling heavenward.
And yet...
A wave of anger also swept through him. He wanted
her to call him by his name. What is my name? He'd move heaven and earth to
recall his name.
