Review

A true storyteller, Ms. Rice will hold you from the first words until the very last. (_Long and Short Reviews_ 20110304)

Very enjoyable read, especially the humor in the dialogue. (_BookLoons.com_ 20110307)

Written in Ms. Rice's signature style that seamlessly combines emotion and action, the story sweeps you along with a varied cast of characters who are true to their time, and yet timeless. (_Linda Banche Romance Author_ 20110310)

Sourcebooks Publishing has re-issued this delightful tale, and I for one am glad. It's an honest look at true love through diverse and sometimes dire circumstances. (_That's What I'm Talking About_ 20110314)

[Patricia Rice] took the best of romance, mystery, comedy and drama and mixed them all together in one magical tale. (_Literary Litter_ )

I loved the two leads in this magical romance. (_In the Hammock Reviews_ )

I literally could not put this one down... a romance that rings out with a spark of truth. (_Pencil Pushers and Ink Splotches_ )

Product Description

"Patricia Rice is a master storyteller."
-Mary Jo Putney, New York Times bestselling author of Never Less than a Lady

Magic is her birthright...

The daughter of one of the strongest magical lineages, Ninian Malcom Siddons is a powerful witch. Determined to only use her magic for good, she lives a simple, solitary life as a healer in her village, where she meets Drogo.

A man of science doesn't believe in anything he can't see...

Lord Drogo Ives believes only logic and science can explain the wonders of the universe and doesn't believe the local folklore about Malcolm witches and Ives men, until he meets Ninian.

Despite the odds against them and their (many) differences, the bond between Drogo and Ninian grows stronger each moment they are together... until the chaos and danger surrounding them forces each to decide: their love... or their lives...

"You can always count on Patricia Rice for an entertaining story with just the right mix of romance, humor, and emotion."
-The Romantic Reader
