Trace Huntsman did not want to be the landlord for anyone,
much less Kenzie and Matt's victimized and displaced
sister, Fiona. Time travellers have to get used to being a
part of society, but after her abuse and subsequent ages as
a hawk, Fiona needs socialization. However, she fears and
hates men, and Trace doesn't want to scare her or have to
deal with her. He keeps telling himself that when he starts
to feel protective of Fiona in the face of would-be
Lotharios, both local and unknowing as well as powerful and
ageless. Her obsession with cleaning his pigsty of a house,
the animals she attracts, and her need to pile items in
surprising---and often dangerous---arrangements are
annoying, as well as endearing, habits. Meanwhile, Fiona
wants to gain control of her actions, her future, and her
reality as a human woman. As part of the control she needs,
she wants, a child.
Janet Chapman has again created an
intricate conflict for the displaced time travellers and
their loved ones. The straightforward nature of the prose,
the humorous encounters between Trace and Fiona, and the
subcurrents of necessary factors in any relationship,
whether romantic or parental, make MYSTICAL WARRIOR a must-
read.
An eleventh-century lass with a stubborn streak unleashes
the red-hot hero inside her modern lover in bestselling
author Janet Chapman’s irresistible new Midnight Bay adventure.
Trace Huntsman’s peaceful life has headed to hell in a
hand-basket ever since stunningly beautiful Fiona Gregor
moved into the vacant apartment above his house. Kidnapped
centuries earlier and transformed into a red-tail hawk,
Fiona is human once more and must learn how to be a modern
woman. But damned if Trace is going to be the one to teach
her. Not when her mere presence ignites a fiery passion deep
within his cautious heart.
Fiona longs to overcome the painful memories of her tragic
past—to let down her guard and become a mother again. But so
far her handsome landlord is not exactly thrilled with the
stray animals—and suitors—that keep following her home. When
the wizard Maximilian Oceanus shows up, Trace reaches the
end of his rope. Weird things happen when Mac is
around—raging storms, snarling demons—but this time,
Midnight Bay is at the center of a fierce battle, and Fiona
is the primary target. Only Trace can save her, but first,
the lovers must set aside their fears . . . and open up
their hearts.
