The Eternal Highlander

From Booklist
Two Scottish lairds who share family ties and a connection of a different nature find romance in this pair of dark and dangerous novellas, each a vampire love story. In Howell's Nightriders, Cathal MacNachton believes that change is the only hope for his clan. Instead of seeking a bride among the pureblood nightriders, Cathal intends to wed a woman from the outside. When clansmen rescue Bridget Callan from a band of murderous thieves, Cathal decides that she is the one. In Sand's The Highland Bride, Eva Caxton is more than grateful to escape a future in a nunnery for the chance to wed Connall MacAdie. Thus she is prepared to ignore rumors about her new husband being part of a "bloodthirsty band of creatures who hunt the night," even when it seems as if there might be some substance to the gossip. Howell's tale is deliciously spooky, while Sands adds sharp humor to her story, making this a duo of delightfully sexy Scottish vampire romances. John Charles

With the current popularity of "creatures of the night" and all things Scottish, this pair of linked stories scores a double hit as it takes two not-quite-mortal Highland cousins determined to break the ancient curse that binds their inbred clan to darkness and bloodlust and brings them each the one thing that can accomplish this a mortal bride. But there are those in the clan who like things the way they are; and as the cousins make wedding plans, others plot something far more sinister. Well-matched protagonists find purpose and love in these fast-paced, creative tales, which feature flashes of humor, unbridled passion, heartwarming tenderness, and differing yet complementary styles. Contributors to the paranormal anthology His Immortal Embrace, veteran romance writers Howell (Highland Warrior) lives in West Newbury, MA, and Sands (Tall, Dark, and Hungry) lives in England.
