Cursed for the crime of loving the wrong woman.

Forced to subsist as part man, part beast, Scottish Millionaire Ravin Barrilyl has waited centuries for his date with destiny. The mystical sword needed to end his torment is finally within reach, but he must acquire it before an age-old enemy can interfere.

Ravin's fate rests in the hands of folklore librarian Jacquelyn Frasier. This very smart, very beautiful opponent is highly suspicious of his interest in the Celtic artifacts passed down by her ancestors. And the electric attraction crackling between them could prove more destructive than fate and Ravin's enemy combined...

      Grothaus (The Highlander
      ) dresses up a standard forced-marriage story with references to Beauty and the Beast in this capable 12th-century historical romance. Lord Roderick Cherbon has returned home from the Crusades physically and emotionally scarred. He must nonetheless wed before he turns 30 or lose his home and wealth. Enter impoverished Lady Michaela Fortune, who believes herself engaged to Roderick's cousin, handsome Lord Alan Tornfield. When Alan weds another, humiliated Michaela decides to take Roderick's offer instead, though she knows it will be hard to win his trust. Alan confuses matters further by continuing to court her, but does he want her as his mistress or is he more interested in the Cherbon estate? Though marred by occasional anachronistic language (“Necessary rooms?” “Oh, you know... where you go to tinkle”), this romance is solid and entertaining.
