The myth and magic of the Scottish Highlands comes to life in this fun, historical, fantasy, paranormal romance. A Determined Lass...Since Catriona MacCain was a young girl, she has been in love with Torr MacElrath, but he doesn't seem to realize she exists. His recently acquired curse of shapeshifting into a kelpie, or water horse, at night doesn't deter her. Brodie, her older brother and the MacCain chief, is also entangled in the curse. He has abandoned the clan, and in his absence, their mother negotiates a marriage alliance for Cat with the cruel Chief MacPeter in exchange for his protection. After rejecting the atrocious marriage plans and learning what will destroy the curse, Cat runs away to find Torr and gain his help.A Cursed Highlander...Torr, trapped by the curse, hates his dark and lonely existence. With her ginger hair and sunny enthusiasm, Cat bursts into his life like a fiery explosion. He remembers her as a wee lass and can hardly believe the beautiful, tempting young woman Cat has grown into at age twenty. He wants to help her escape marriage to a vicious beast, but how will he resist her, especially when she's determined to captivate him and shatter his curse? Falling for her would surely destroy his friendship with Brodie and bring destruction upon their clans.
