THE VISION... Born with the gift of second sight, Isobel of Aberlady has a vision of a compelling enemy - a dark rider who will gallop across her besieged castle's battlements and both rescue her... and take her hostage.
THE DANGER... James Lindsey was once a noble Scottish knight. Now he is an outlaw, unjustly accused of betraying his leader. He wants his good name back - and the vulnerable, lovely seeress called Isobel is his only weapon.
THE PASSION... From the moment Isobel sees the stranger emerge from the shadows, from the moment he spirits her away, from the moment she gives him her heart, she knows it's at the cost of her freedom. But in a world marked by treachery and tears, by peril and betrayal, their love becomes the one shining light, the one source of hope, the one destiny that is both foretold... and forever.
LADY OF MYSTERY... She had a golden light in her hair - and heat and magic in her hands. She was called "Lady Miracle," possessed of a gift that made her feared by the superstitious Scots of her homeland. No one knew of the secret sorrow in Michaelmas Faulkener's past. Yet for one man, she was his only hope.
LADY OF DESIRE... It was on a battlefield that Diarmid Campbell first saw the lass who would cure the sick with just a touch. Even after she seemed to vanish into the mist, he couldn't forget her. Now he needed her - more than ever. Sworn not to lose her again, the powerful laird would fight kinsmen and kings for the radiant beauty who could heal his wounded soul... and open his heart to a miracle called love.
THE WOUNDED DOVE... Lady Christian MacGillean lay dying in an iron cage, a prisoner of the English. She refused to reveal where the ancient treasure of Kinglassie was hidden. She defied the invaders by burning her home and fleeing into the heather-wreathed hills. Unable to escape those she so deeply hated, she discovered that the price of her silence was to be her life.
THE TOUCH OF LOVE... Rage coursed through Sir Gavin Faulkener at King Edward's cruel punishment of the Highland lady. He demanded to wed her, claiming her ruined castle as his own. And when he lifted her from her prison, Christian thought the archangel himself was taking her to heaven. Paradise, indeed, for his touch brought healing and restored her strength and shining beauty. But Christian enclosed her heart in a prison that could not be opened... except by the greatest of miracles. The gift of love.
DARK VISION... Elspeth Fraser was blessed with the magical gift of Sight, but what she saw when she first encountered the mysterious stranger who rode into the Highlands on his coal-black stallion filled her with dread. For she saw ravens - symbols of death - and she knew that Duncan Macrae was destined for the executioner's ax.
BRIGHT WHISPER OF HOPE... With his wild Highlander blood and his cool Lowlander legal mind, Duncan Macrae was the perfect man to settle the ancient feud between the Frasers and the MacDonalds. He expected violence and rage, but not the strangely haunting warnings of a girl who foresaw his death. For in his heart he knew that Elspeth Fraser would be his love, his life, his soul. Yet still she insisted that their passion would be fatal... and her Sight had never been wrong...
DANGEROUS DAYS... Mhairi Macrae felt danger all around her. Her twin brother Iain had seen a vision of a tall Border rider galloping his dark horse through a storm, calling Mhairi's name. Now Iain had been unjustly arrested, and Mhairi had done the only thing she could: become an outlaw to intercept the messenger bringing his death warrant...
OUTLAW NIGHTS... Despite his own notorious past, Border officer Rowan Scott had reformed and pledged to enforce the law. And it was clear that the raven-haired, silvery-eyed girl who attacked him was a thief, a Highlander. Yet what she stole from him that dark night was his heart, leaving him torn between his duty to imprison her and his passion to embrace her. She had thrust him into the secret intrigues of her life, intrigues that could destroy him. But in a way she had also freed him, making him a man ready to take any risk, ready to lay down his life for the woman he loved. For Mhairi.
