When I saw this at the book store, I thought I had already read this one, but wasn't sure until I read a few chapters. I definitely have read it, but thoroughly enjoyed reading it again. Authors never cease to amaze me how they can pull out of their imaginations a totally new spin on why something is what it is, or was what it was. Boggles the mind sometimes. I do remember reading the 2nd book in this series (and might read that one again too), and hope Maguire plans on writing #3. I'd very much like to see where she is taking the overall plot.

A love that can transcend time...

Now the slaying of his father, the chieftain, has placed the clan's protection in Brogan's hands-and he will brave any danger to possess the stone. But only the strongest sorcery will carry the fearless Scottish warrior to the talisman-for it is hidden Ravensfield, an English estate...900 years in the future.
1813: Sarah Granger is wary...yet shamelessly intrigued by the near-naked stranger she discovers washed upon the beach.

But an unrelenting evil is followed Brogan from ancient times-and he must battle it to the death to save the breathtaking beauty who is becoming more precious to hi that the magic he crossed centuries to claim.
