Birch Callahan has new on the job providing a safe haven for the abused women and children of Spellbound Falls, Maine. Birch is a devoted supporter of these women and lives at the new Spellbound Falls Crisis Center along with her mother, Hazel. Neither of the women is aware the community they are now living in secretly consists and has been created by the magical family of highlanders and their leader, Titus Oceanus.

When Titus convinces his twelfth century ancestor Niall MacKeage to enter the twenty-first century to become the Chief Officer, learning to live in the new century is a challenge for this giant warrior. Bumping heads with the little half pint spitfire is another kind of challenge. When Birch and Hazel are threatened by other warriors of another century stealing into Maine, both of their lives are at stake. Forming a sexual tie to the giant warrior is against her grain, but Birch eventually falls in love with him and his unusual dog, Shep. It is written that any couple who kiss while standing in the mist rising from Spellbound Falls will fall deeply in love. This authentic Scottish highlander is beginning to see the benefits of the 21st century women, and especially this little pint-sized spitfire. The wall-crumbling, cliff- dangling Scot who manages to save Birch at every turn captivates her. Maybe the magic of the two different centuries can come together in forever love.

Falls series of the Oceanus' set in the gorgeous Maine area. The characters are strong, THE HIGHLANDER NEXT DOOR is book six in the Spellbound charismatic people building a new life with their magic. Complete with giant sized time traveling warriors with their magical abilities, this tale will captivate you with suspense, excitement, romance and thrill from page one. I have read others from this series and fell in love with them all. I promise you will be completely bewitched and charmed by these hunky giant warriors. Janet Chapman is an extremely gifted writer author that has the ability to combine mystical magic with wit and romance.

SUMMARY

Legend has it love is carried on the rising mists of Spellbound Falls, and not even time-traveling highlanders are immune to its magic… Birch Callahan has seen the trouble men can cause. After witnessing her mother’s four marriages, Birch now runs a women’s shelter and doesn’t want a man in her life. But there’s something about her neighbor, Niall MacKeage. Birch can’t figure out how the cop can be so big and gruff and yet so insightful and compassionate—and sexy. Or how she’s falling for a man who acts like someone from the twelfth century. Niall knows that Birch is attracted to him, even if she seems to distrust all men. Yet he also knows she has a secret—something that drives her to place herself in harm’s way for the women of her shelter. Niall would gladly rush to Birch’s side to protect her from harm, but with their secrets standing between them, he’ll have to reveal his own truth if he wants to keep her….
