The Highlander's Fury
Faolan is the mighty chieftan of the MacKay's. After his parents died, he declared that he would never love again nor would he use his mystical gifts. With the clan demanding that he marry, he chooses Dierdre, a girl who is a little touched in the head so he wouldn't be tempted to love her. His plan might have worked except the Furies had other plans for him. Enter Ciara, a sort of demi-god immortal fury who has spent centuries trying to right the wrongs done to man. With her heart hardened to humans and fate itself, Ciara is tasked by the Furies to travel back in time to take Dierdre's place in the marriage bed and bear a half immortal child who will hopefully save the human race. This is a wonderful romance where both the hero and heroine are hard-hearted and have to teach each other how to live again. I loved Faolan's integrity and honor and Ciara's surprising adaptation to mortal life was inspiring. What a terrific book!
