Isabel has been forced to prostitute herself to save her
younger sister from the life she now leads. Her stepfather
uses her to sleep with men of power so that he can gain
power over them. He is mad to control the world around him.
Duncan has a mysterious ability to heal others. It peaks at
the sign of the full moon. He is called to a healing and is
intrigued by the young woman he sees bathing in a cold loch.
When he learns more about her, he asks to meet her. His
encounter with her leaves him feeling more powerful than he
ever has before. His sessions healing others leave him
numb. It's as if nothing can touch him in any significant
way. Isabel returns him to a normal state faster than
ever.
Duncan knows that he will die soon but he resolves to ease
Isabel's life so he barters for her with her stepfather.
As he lives with Isabel he learns more about her devotion
to her younger sister and the abuse she has lived with these
many years. In an attempt to free her from her stepfather,
he will set a plan in motion. A plan which is complicated
and time sensitive; time which he isn't sure he will have
to accomplish what needs to be done.
The third in a trilogy written for the Kensington Brava
line, this story will lead the reader into some
uncomfortable places. Ms. Brisbin deals with the
difficulties of the story gracefully making the reader very
sympathetic to Isabel and her predicament. Because it was
written for the Brava line, it is strongly erotic. The
story was intriguing and mystical.
An epic struggle for dominance is ravaging the Isle of
Skye. And in its midst, a man and a woman are locked
together by fate-and fantasy…
Odious though it is, Isabel knows what she must do: go to
the one known as the Healer, seduce him, and recruit him to
her power-hungry stepfather’s cause. If she refuses, her
innocent young sister will pay the terrible price of her
disobedience. Yet after just one night with the man she
must manipulate, it is clear to Isabel that even if she
succeeds, the deceit will not leave her unscathed. For in
the healer’s powerful arms, her heart is lost forever…
Duncan of Skye knows there are those who would use his
unusual gift for their own selfish gain. Even so, he yearns
to trust the beautiful temptress who warms his bed and
fills him with insatiable passion. And when he must choose
between her future and his own, he may have to risk
everything-even his life…
