author:  Patricia Bray 
description: In the Kingdom of Jorsk, the divinely appointed position of Chosen One has seemed more of a curse than a blessing, for everyone who has had that honor has died defending the kingdom. Devlin Stonehand, a man with nothing to lose, welcomes the position as an easy road to the death he seeks if he can only stop surviving the challenges that come his way. Bray's first novel features a likable, flawed hero who fights his own inner demons to serve his conscience and his honor.

  When darkness falls… Only true love can save them…
  
  
  Beiste MacDougall has only just found himself as laird of his clan after a
  brutal attack from Vikings leaves his father slain. On the night of his sire’s
  death, a beautiful woman comes to his castle begging for help, calling upon a
  vow their clans had made years before. Though he’d rather wallow in his pain,
  Beiste is tempted by the lass, the secrets she holds, and the chance at
  retribution she brings.
  
  Lady Elle Cam’béal is desperate to save her brother and her clan from the vile
  clutches of her Viking enemies. But there is only one man who can help her, a
  handsome, provocative laird with a beastly temper. When he locks her in a
  chamber, she is visited by an apparition, and left with a secret that changes
  her destiny. Elle must figure out a way to accept her fate, but also forge a
  future of her own choosing.
