Nairn O'Banyon loves women. All women. Any women who'll give him their time and lovely bodies. Skilled in flattery, O'Banyon finds many women who are willing. But he was betrayed by a woman who attempted to use him to kill his friend. Now, he's left his home time of the Middle Ages and lives in Prince Regent's London, a cursed man.

When he meets the Countess of Colline, Antoinette, it suddenly becomes much harder to keep his secret. Drawn to her as to no other, O'Banyon finds himself even more angry at the curse under which he lives. But Antoinette is the first woman in a long time (maybe ever!) to scorn his attentions. She has problems of her own and a secret of her own, too.

Ms. Greiman excels at dialogue and her O'Banyon character is a jewel. Witty, dynamic and sexy, you'll be rooting for this warrior to fight his way out of his dreadful past and find love. Antoinette, too, is a compelling character -- a smart woman who makes a terrific heroine. A fun summer read. I recommend the entire Men of the Mist series.
