Publisher Description
She'll find him a bride if it's the last thing she does.
And it very well might be. Evangeline may be powerfully persuasive in her way, but convincing the notoriously wild Highland king Lachlan MacLeod to strengthen his alliances with a strategic marriage seems to be asking the impossible. Stubborn and proud, Lachlan seems determined to go against her will, even if it means endangering the people he's sworn to protect and the enchanted isle that has already seen so much discord.
Yet the battle-scarred Highlander cannot ignore his sultry advisor for long. When his mentor is kidnapped, forcing him to ride into combat alongside the beautiful Evangeline, he must choose between her safety and his own independence. It's a choice he makes in an instant. . .but once wed to the woman he could not resist, he'll soon find that his heart is in even greater danger than his kingdom. . .

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Mazzuca's third paranormal historical (after Lord of the Isles and Warrior of the Isles) is a shallow and at times confusing tale of the fae and the 17th-century Scottish highlands. Evangeline, the most powerful fae magician in the realm, is despised by her kind, including her own father, the cartoonishly villainous Morfessa. Lachlan MacLeod, the half-blooded highlander king of the Enchanted Isles, is outraged when rival King Magnus tries to force Lachlan into a marriage alliance. Though Lachlan and Evangeline are often at odds, he pretends she's his betrothed, but the suspicious Magnus insists on seeing them actually marry. After their rushed wedding, passion flares, and Lachlan's impetuous banishment of his wife over misunderstandings not once but twice are trivialized by their swift reconciliation. Meanwhile, Morfessa predictably schemes. The flat characters and skimpy plot will only appeal to fans of the earlier installments.
