Her breathless kiss haunts him…
Bowen MacRieve of the Lykae clan was nearly destroyed when he lost the one woman meant for him. The ruthless warrior grew even colder, never taking another to his bed–until a smoldering encounter with his enemy, Mariketa the Awaited, reawakens his darkest desires. When sinister forces unite against her, the Highlander finds himself using all his strength and skill to keep her alive.

His slow, hot touch is irresistible…
Temporarily stripped of her powers, Mari is forced to take refuge with her sworn adversary. It’s rumored that no one can tempt Bowen’s hardened heart, but soon passion burns between them. Though a future together is impossible, she fears he has no intention of letting her go.

No deed is too wicked for her seduction…
If they defeat the evil that surrounds them, can Mari deny Bowen when he demands her body and soul–or will she risk everything for her fierce protector?

REVIEW: After reading books 1 and 3 I was really jazzed about reading this book. (Yes I skipped bk 2 but that is on purpose as it is part of my fall reading challenge.) I didn’t like this one as much as I liked the other two books. It is a great story and she introduces brothers Rydstrom and Cade (Dark desires after Dusk),as well as bring back a couple of past characters. I think the thing that I really liked about this book was the theme of getting over prejudices and overcoming your fears. Over all I have to say that it is a really good book and I will continue with the series.
