Highlander In Her Bed

Romance Paranormal

When journeying to deliver a specially crafted bed to his betrothed, Alex Douglas and his men are ambushed by Colin MacDougall. When he discovers his true betrayer is the woman he's to marry, Alex curses the MacDougalls with his dying breath, vowing to haunt them until the end of all days.

Nearly 700 years later, while escorting a group of ghost- seeking tourists around England, Mara McDougal discovers an antique bed in a specialty shop. Although she loves the bed, there's no way it would fit in her home and leave room for any other furnishings. When she inherits a Scottish castle, the bed is one of the first purchases she makes. Mara has no idea that her bed comes with a ghost, but Alex makes his presence known in a variety of ways

Alex is determined that no McDougal will know a night of peace in his bed, yet this particular McDougal may just change his mind. He delights in tormenting Mara with his spirited presence, and she's equally determined to ignore the Hottie Scottie, her pet name for the most handsome man she's ever encountered, ghostly or living. Their attraction is mutual and flares sensually out of control, and Mara is left to wonder about her future with a man long-dead.

Allie MacKay's HIGHLANDER IN HER BED is a sexy, humor-filled romance with two delightfully amusing characters in Alex and Mara. Their romance, artfully blending past and present, is an entertaining read. The Scottish dialect tripped me up a time or two, but wasn't too distracting from the well-written story. Readers will enjoy this one!

SUMMARY

Tour guide Mara MacDougall stops at a London antique shop- and spots perhaps the handsomest bed ever. Then she bumps into the handsomest man ever. Soon Mara can't forget the irresistible-if haughty-Highlander. Not even when she learns that she's inherited a Scottish castle.

Spectral Sir Alexander Douglas has hated the Clan MacDougall since he was a medieval knight and they tricked him into a curse-the curse of forever haunting the bed (the very one that Mara now owns) that was once intended for his would-be bride. But Mara makes him feel what no other MacDougall has-a passion that he never knew he'd missed.
