Quinn, Paula Children of the Mist (Quinn). #bk. 1

Read by Carrington MacDuffie

Forbidden love, undeniable desire…Davina Montgomery is no ordinary English lady. For her own protection, she's been locked away from society, her true identity the Crown's most closely guarded secret. Until a shocking betrayal-and a bold rescue-land her in the arms of a fierce Highlander, a powerful warrior whose searing gaze and tantalizing touch awaken her body and soul. As the firstborn son of a powerful Scottish laird, Robert MacGregor has no loyalty to the English throne, but he's not the kind of man to leave a woman in distress, even if she is English. He vows to deliver Davina to safety, unharmed and untouched. Yet one stolen kiss leaves them both smoldering with desire and desperate for more. With Davina's secret threatening to destroy his clan, Rob must choose between everything he holds dear and the one woman he can't live without. Title Info, Dedication.

"The first installment in Quinn's Children of the Mist series deftly combines historical fact and powerful romance…There's much more than just sizzling sensuality: history buffs will love the attention to period detail and cameos by real-life figures, and the protagonists embody compassion, responsibility, and unrelenting, almost self-sacrificial honor. Quinn's seamless prose and passionate storytelling will leave readers hungry for future installments." "Carrington MacDuffie turns this classic bodice ripper into a delightful romp through the British Isles, effortlessly shifting between forbidding abbess and randy rogue. Her portrayals of both Highlanders and soldiers sound so convincing that one forgets entirely that a woman is performing them. MacDuffie narrates the salacious bits of the story with enthusiasm and tact. This book is just the ticket to spice up a long drive." "I am anxiously awaiting further stories about Paula Quinn's hunky Highlanders. This novel is full of excitement and thrills." "Quinn once again brilliantly captures the aura of the Highlands. Here is an amazing love story where characters' deep emotions and sense of honor for their countrymen will enchant readers."
