About this eBook

New York Times bestselling author Linda Howard captivates readers in the deeply romantic tale of a contemporary woman who unravels an extraordinary mystery from the past—by living it.

A scholar specializing in ancient manuscripts, Grace St. John never imagined that a cache of old documents she discovered was the missing link to a lost Celtic treasure. But as soon as she deciphers the legend of the Knights of the Templar -- long fabled to hold the key to unlimited power -- Grace becomes the target of a ruthless killer bent on abusing the coveted force. Determined to stop him, Grace needs the help of a warrior bound by duty to uphold the Templar's secret for all eternity. But to find him -- and to save herself -- she must go back in time . . . to fourteenth-century Scotland . . . and to Black Niall, a fierce man of dark fury and raw, unbridled desire. . . .

Ratings and reviews

This is a real page turner. I love stories with archaeology in it, but this was even better. It was a suspense full of action as Grace St. John, who watched her husband and brother killed in cold blood, has to go underground in an attempt to decipher why they were killed. Her adventures lead her to translate writings about a mysterious knight named Niall who is guarding a secret. Soon she begins to have vivid dreams about Niall, but the biggest surprise of all is when she meets him. Sparks fly, and boy do they fly. The chemistry between Grace and Niall is hot, hot, hot, and during it all, the action never stops until the happy ending.

This is my favorite book. I have read is so many times. I always discover something new and I am always not wanting it to end.

Absolutely loved this book, perfect amount of page turning suspence and sizzling sexual tension
