SummaryTwo passionate paranormal romances in one volume from the
New York Times bestselling author.
In Eternity, readers will savor the story of
Raven St. James, whose unearthly beauty brought accusations
of witchcraft—and a sentence of death. Luckily Duncan,
the town minister, saved her life. But Raven could not save
him. Now, after three centuries, Raven has found Duncan in
the body of a man who has no memory of their past. As Duncan
slowly reawakens, they are once more endangered by the evil
that tore them apart. (originally published in December
1998)
Infinity tells the enthralling tale of
Nicodemus Lachlan, who lay dormant in the Scottish Highlands
for five centuries after his one love betrayed him. The only
thing he remembers is Arianna, the golden-haired lass who
touched his soul—and her treachery, which cost him his
life. But when Arianna finds a way to bring back her love,
the dark power that reunited the two threatens all they hold
dear. (originally published in October 1999)
