Forensic archaeologist Andrea Monroe has spent the
past ten years dreaming about the mysterious medieval
knight who saved her from a terrible fall while she was
exploring the deserted grounds of Dreadmoor Keep in
Northern England. She remembers everything about him;
his sapphire eyes, his deep voice, the chain mail and
sword he wore, and the fact that when she stumbled towards
him, her hand passed right through him! Was he real, or
just a figment of her youthful imagination? Now she has
the chance to find out. A skeleton and a collection of
medieval weapons have been discovered under an overturned
oak on the grounds of the keep, and the current lord of
Dreadmoor has requested Andi for the excavation.
Tristan de Barre never imagined that Dr. Andi
Monroe would be the woman who quite literally stumbled
into his life ten years earlier. She's smart, she's
feisty, and she's completely unaware that he's a seven-
hundred-year-old ghost, a fact he plans to keep hidden.
Murdered and cursed by his foster father, Erik de Sabre in
1292, Tristan and his fourteen knights have lived in their
ghostly state for hundreds of years, unable to enjoy the
blessing of life or the peace of death. Tristan hopes
that the buried weapons, which he believes belong to
himself and his knights, will give him the answer on how
to undo the curse. But as Tristan spends more and more
time in Andi's company, answering her questions while
keeping his distance, he finds himself yearning to touch
her, a yearning that is made even more intense when Andi
learns the truth about who and what he really is, and
chooses to stay on and complete her work anyway.
Ghost or not, Andi is fascinated by Tristan, the
Dragonhawk of legend and the knight of her fantasies, who
manages to make her feel more beautiful and desirable than
any living man she's known. She knows it's foolish to
fall in love with a ghost, but her heart won't be denied,
especially when she realizes Tristan shares her feelings.
But if she succeeds in solving the mystery of his cursed
existence, will she lose him for all time?
Cindy Miles has managed to take a very challenging
conflict and turn it into one of the most sensual,
seductive stories I've ever read. Tristan and Andi
generate so much heat, without even being able to touch,
that I worried the pages would burst into flames. With a
very dark villain creating a sense of urgency, and a
wonderful blend of humor and passion between the main
characters, SPIRITED AWAY is a delight. Don't miss it!
Knight Tristan de Barre and his men were murdered in 1292,
their souls cursed to roam Dreadmoor Castle forever.
Forensic archeologist Andi Monroe is excavating the site
and studying the legend of a medieval knight who
disappeared. But although she's usually rational, Andi could
swear she's met the handsome knight's ghost.
Until she
finds a way to lift the curse, though, love doesn't stand a
ghost of a chance.
