The Highlander's Touch
by Karen Marie Moning
Lisa Stone is a modern woman who expects her life to remain predictable, but a trip to the Scottish Highlands pulls her into a reality where magic is not just a legend. She ends up face-to-face with Circenn Brodie, a man cursed by a tragic past and bound to a world that defies all her logic. The reading experience here is thick with atmosphere, leaning into the tension of a woman completely out of her element trying to navigate a man who is as dangerous as he is alluring. It is an intense, high-stakes romance that prioritizes the friction between modern sensibilities and ancient, supernatural mystery. You will enjoy this if you like your historical romances heavy on the magical atmosphere and featuring a hero whose intensity threatens to consume everything in his path.
