Sarah Douglas has a special gift she's never been able to
accept. For this reason, the romance novelist travels to
Scotland hoping she can come to terms with her ability to
feel the emotions of those she touches, and thus be able to
relax enough to break the writer's block she's had for
months.
Sarah's trip to a country cottage during a late-night
rainstorm is just the beginning of increasingly strange
occurrences. She imagines a man in the middle of the path
who jumps right over her car. And when she runs her car off
the road and leaves it to hurry to the landlord's home, she
feels as though someone is watching her.
Ian McCullough promised his dying father he would
faithfully guard the portals to the Faeries' realm, a task
he's steadfastly held for over 600 years. The Nuadins, a
group of faeries cast out to live among the mortals, are
plotting to gain access through the portal to reach the
Fountain of the Souls, where they can acquire enough energy
to extend their lives by centuries. Dallyn is a fae who
guards the other side of the portal. Dallyn is sure that
Sarah must be part fae, since she's had a conversation with
him and invited him into her cottage. Dallyn charges Ian
with the responsibility of protecting Sarah from the
stalker, who watches from a distance. Dallyn fears that the
Nuadins are after Sarah so they can use her to reach the
portal.
Ian's passion for Sarah ignites her own lust, which soon
unlocks her writer's block. Ian's promise is to protect the
portal, a promise he can't keep if he remains with Sarah,
who he's fallen in love with. Telling Sarah that she must
never invite another man onto the property and must have
nothing to do with any other man while she's in Scotland,
he leaves her under Dallyn's care and puts many miles
between his duties and his desire for Sarah.
Since Sarah's disastrous marriage, she's never let another
man tell her what to do. When a charming man shows her the
sights of Scotland in ways she once hoped Ian would, Sarah
finds herself in danger from a man so evil that his touch
repulses her immensely. Ian must hurry to Sarah's side,
accepting fate, before it is too late. Sarah stands firm, a
strong woman at terms with her gift. With Ian's faith in
her, she will save the mortals.
In HIGHLAND GUARDIAN, the second book in the Daughters of
the Glen series, Melissa Mayhue has created a
delightful world of the faerie, those who walk among us in
the mortal world. The story flows with snappy dialogue and
passionate temptations. It's sure to put a smile on your
face.
Ian McCullough is neck-deep in his own trouble. A half-
mortal descendant of Faeries, he's been a Guardian for
more than six hundred years, but he's never encountered a
woman like Sarah. Assigned to protect her, he finds the
job tougher than he could have imagined. Oh, he can handle
the stalker, and even the renegade Faeries trying to
kidnap her. But falling in love means forsaking his role
as Guardian -- which is some-thing he could never do.
But there is no denying the passion that exists
between two souls fated to be together.
