It`s been five hundred years since Sydney Wyrrd fled the Scottish Highlands, fearing her presence would bring harm to her beloved. Only through divine intervention--and the help of her friends and fellow witches, Tempest and Michael--has she been able to return to 1564...and to Duncan, the brave chieftain who captured her heart all those years ago. Ever since the day she disappeared, Duncan has been haunted by thoughts of the beautiful witch who stole his heart. But believing he`d never set eyes on Sydney, he promised to take the daughter of a nearby clan chieftain as his wife--a union that will benefit both clans. A man of his word, he can`t imagine breaking off his engagement--not even when Sydney returns. But for how long can he deny the passion she has reawakened--or resist the enduring love that still burns between them?
