| Zachariah McIntosh has wandered through his increasingly falling-down castle for the past six hundred years, condemned to a limbo in which he neither dies, nor lives, mourning the loss of his beloved six centuries before. Transformed into a feline by a powerful sorceress at the behest of his lover’s spouse, he realizes that one woman in the present time will hold the key to his return to life, or his eternal death. That woman must discover the magical amulet and learn how to use it to transform him. His only remaining recourse is to try to reach her through her dreams.
To Ali Cameron, no earthly man can ever measure up to the standard set by the godlike Scotsman who haunts her dreams with erotic need. Ali’s family had Scottish ties, and Ali had been born there, moving when she was only three. From childhood she was thrilled by her grandfather’s tales concerning a legendary Scotsman, a curse, and a cat. Now between graduation and commencing her new job with a veterinarian, Ali is traveling with her grandmother and her friend Sandy to visit Scotland. At first arrival, Ali feels a psychic link to the country and is convinced she’s returned home for a purpose as yet unrevealed. Debut author Angela Ashton serves up an enterprising tale with plenty of magic, mystery, romance, and eroticism entwined. A hunky hero, an evil Lord from the past, and loving, knowledgeable family members, combine with a spunky heroine, her oversexed best friend, and a Scotsman who holds the key to past life recall all combine to make an excellent story which will tug the reader’s heartstrings and deliver up hope for a happy ending?even after six centuries of despair and loss.
