Publisher Description
He's Out of the Highlands and on the Prowl...
Regina Talbot-Jones has always known her rambling family home was haunted. She's also aware her brother has invited one of his friends to attend an ill-conceived séance. She didn't count on that friend being so handsome…and she certainly didn't expect him to be a dragon.
Younger son of a family of shapeshifting dragons, Highlander Colin MacAlasdair has lived a life free of both family duty and mortal cares. Moving in and out of human society as he wishes, he takes very little seriously—until Regina drops onto his balcony one midnight, catching his attention and his interest. She's like no mortal he's ever met, and no matter how hard he tries, he can't seem to get her out of his head.
Bound by circumstance, drawn by the fire awakening inside of them, Colin and Regina must work together to defeat a vengeful spirit—and discover whether their growing love is powerful enough to defy convention.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Cooper's second Highland Dragon paranormal historical (after Legend of the Highland Dragon) brings all the drama of a gothic thriller while delivering plenty of steamy passion. Regina Talbot-Jones returns to the family country estate in Victorian-era England to take part in an investigation of the property's supposed haunting. Colin MacAlisdair is a guest of Regina's brother. Though both pretend to be ordinary humans, they have secrets that come to light when the ghost stories prove true. Cooper wisely reveals these secrets in the first chapter, allowing the adventure to proceed apace and the principal characters to communicate freely without dissembling. Regina and Colin are both refreshingly capable of deep feeling as well as heroic daring. Cooper clearly has a good time putting a twist on historical romance, and she invites the reader to join in on the humor, thrills, and dangers with equal pleasure.
