Carrin Price is worried that someone would come after her. Why is she so cursed? Having descended from Morgana, a Welsh Druidic priestess, Carrin was always aware of the real curse about needing to drink from the family's ancient chalice or the women in her family would lose their new husband within three years of their wedding night. Carrin had always thought that was just a superstitious belief, but after her beloved husband died on their wedding night, she isn't going to take any chances again. Now, she has the chalice again, but why she is still worried? Why did that man have to come from London and stir everything up again? How could she get him to leave?

Meanwhile, Evan Newcome is filled with unquenchable anger and a need to find out who had ruthlessly murdered Justin, his best friend. He is determined to go on a quest to seek out the last person Justin was going to see. If need be, he would use his role as a well-respected scholar at Cambridge to get people to open up to him and he definitely is going after the mysterious Lady of the Mists as first on his list of suspects.

The story of their meeting and outcome of their individual quests is the heart of this very intriguing Regency romance set in the beautiful countryside in Wales for the most part. WINDSWEPT is the second book in Sabrina Jefferies' Reworked Wales Series, which is an updated version of the novel that was originally published in 1996 under her pseudonym of Deborah Martin.

Jefferies is a master storyteller who brings a multi-layer plot filled with many secrets, lies, and deceptions into vivid life as you can't help but visualize all the characters involved. Carrin is a likable heroine with a tendency to lie when under stress. Evan has a very interesting career as an academic, so stories about Welsh myths and ancient curses flow naturally throughout WINDSWEPT; yet, while a hero as some levels, at others he is not as he is too anxious and a bit of a bully about wanting to turn Carrin into a merry widow.

Fans new to Jefferies are sure to appreciate getting a hold of these wonderful romances and fans who read the original novel may enjoy revisiting the story. So, get a copy and be prepared to be WINDSWEPT away to another time and place that you will love to be! Enjoy!
