Wild Angel

Emotionally scarred by his many years on the battlefield, Mangan, son of the powerful Earl of Kirkcaldy, seeks forgiveness by embarking on a religious quest prior to beginning a life of cloistered celibacy. But his disturbing attraction to a "dark angel," an exquisite Gypsy woman who has just witnessed the murder of her parents, puts him on a far different path. Obsessed by revenge and hiding a terrible secret, Ashleigh uses her skills for trickery and illusion—taught to her since childhood—to torment the people she believes are hiding her parents' killer. But her overwhelming attraction to a warrior monk who comes to her aid plays havoc with her emotions and upsets all her plans. As Mangan and Ashleigh join together to uncover a diabolical plot to unseat the King of Scotland, they also struggle to understand the powerful forces at work between them—a passion that stirs their blood, a desire to heal that mends their souls, and a love that unites their hearts.
