Eian MacCoinnach loves, women, whiskey and fighting, in that order. He is perfectly content living fast and wild... and never going to bed alone. Until he meets the one woman who refuses to fall prey to his considerable charms. But it must be just the excitement of the hunt that makes him want her so badly, because the alternative is not something he is ready or willing to acknowledge.

Allia Logan has no tolerance for Eian's womanizing ways; she has enough other problems in her life. Though she’s attracted to him in a way that defies logic, she knows better than to let him into her life. Men like that just don't change, and she has no desire to have her heart broken.

But Eian can't stay away from the Laird of Lochain’s beautiful niece, even when what he feels for her begins to frighten and confuse him. But just when Allia might take a chance on loving him, will dark secrets and dark magic tear them apart? Sometimes destiny can take us all by surprise...
