The Immortal Highlander
With his long, black hair and dark, mesmerizing eyes, Adam Black is
Trouble with a capital T. Immortal, arrogant, and intensely sensual, he
is the consummate seducer, free to roam across time and continents in
pursuit of his insatiable desires. That is, until a curse strips him of
his immortality and makes him invisible, a cruel fate for so
irresistible a man. With his very life at stake, Adam’s only hope for
survival is in the hands of the one woman who can actually see him.
Enter law student Gabrielle O’Callaghan, who is cursed with the ability to
see both worlds: Mortal and Faery. From the moment she lays eyes on this stunning male, Gabby is certain of one thing: He could be her undoing.
Thus begins a long, dangerous seduction. Because despite his powerful
strength and unquenchable hungers, Adam refuses to take a woman by
force. Instead, he will tease his way into Gabby’s bed and make her
want him just as he wants her.
Now, no matter how hard Gabby
tries to avoid him, Adam is everywhere, invisible to all but her—perched atop her office cubicle in too-tight jeans, whispering softly from
behind the stacks of the law library, stealing her breath away with his
knowing smile…all the while tempting her with the promise of
unimaginable pleasure in his arms. But soon danger will intrude on this sensual dance. For as Adam’s quest to regain his immortality plunges
them into a world of timeless magic and the deadly politics of the Faery queen’s court, the price of surrender could be their very lives. Unless they can thwart the conspiracy that threatens both mortal and Faery
realms…and give them a shot at a destiny few mortals ever know:
glorious, wondrous, endless love.
