Keats’s strong debut highlights the dangers of 1285 Scotland. Wrongfully imprisoned for poisoning an earl, Ana Bisset, who has supernatural abilities to heal the wounded, is rescued from her captivity by Niall MacCurran. Miraculously, Ana survives and becomes the healer for the Barony of Duthes. Pretending to be Ana’s fictional husband returned from the dead, Niall appears at her cottage, threatening to expose her past if she does not assist him with entry to the manor house, where he hopes to find stolen jewels. Their dangerous game of deceit is complicated by mutual attraction and the threat of a traitor in Niall’s own camp, and the intensity of their lovemaking is heightened by an ever-present possibility of death, especially when Niall is badly wounded. Lyrical writing, well-researched but not overbearing historical detail, and a strong cast of characters will keep the reader engaged. (Nov.)
Wrongfully accused of murder and left to die in a hellish Highland dungeon, Ana Bisset has lost all hope of freedom. But the beautiful healer's luck takes an unexpected turn when a hooded stranger appears as her rescuer. After a harrowing escape, Ana settles alone in a quiet village where no one knows her past or her reputation. The last thing she ever expects is to meet her mysterious savior again.
Niall MacCurran is no hero but a warrior on a dangerous mission to expose a threat to the realm. After his decision to free Ana, he now realizes that it is he who needs her help-willing or no-to advance his quest. But his growing feelings for the delicate yet resilient beauty soon jeopardize their safety-and not even Ana's healing gifts may be enough to protect their love or their lives.
Contains mature themes.
