About the book --

Blurb:
Throughout the Highlands she is known as Keely, the witch woman. She is a great healer -- a woman whose dreams come true. Ian MacPherson is a man who puts honor, loyalty and duty above everything. Their lives are entwined when Ian is sent by the Scottish King to bring Keely to trial for witchcraft. He is attacked and left for dead, but Keely rescues him. When he wakes, he discovers he has no memory. As he remembers his lost past, Ian finds that his need to protect the woman who has saved his life eclipses his duty to his king and country., He is a man torn between honor and duty to his country and the woman he loves.


Excerpt:
"You are not what you appear to be." Ian turned, speaking suddenly, surprising her. "Tell me. Who are you?"

Keely's past lay dormant, long forgotten. Now it all came rushing back, like a raging storm, crashing against her brain, leaving her shaking, chills dripping down her spine. She didn't want to tell Ian about her father, about the life she abhorred. Revealing the truth to him might not be wise. She had known from the first time she saw Ian, he could be an enemy. His intent toward her could be deadly.

Ian had a way of seeing into her soul. He stood by the window, his hands trailing over the French lace curtains. He was already asking more than she wanted to remember.

She might live in a small hut on the edge of a poor village, but her father had always taken care of her needs. He'd sent gifts on her birthday and men to stock her shelves with food.

Many times he'd requested she come to visit in hopes she would choose to stay with him. She always refused. She had never felt comfortable confined within the stone walls of his keep.

"I am exactly what I appear to be," she argued, knowing she would never be able to defend her statement. As Ian's memory returned, he would take note of the finery she possessed. The sheets on the bed were of the finest quality. Her gowns, although fashioned modestly, were made of material befitting the rich.

"I think not," he paused, watching the torrential rains pummel the earth and bolts of lightning brighten the horizon. While they stood in the tension-filled silence, hail began to beat upon the roof.

  10. The excerpt sounds great :)

    It's nice to know the book can stand on its own, even though it is part of a series.
