description: The holiday novella, Book 1.5, following the award-winning debut of "Forged in Dreams and Magick" in the Highland Legends Series: Desperate to honor a life-long promise, Susanna MacEalan escapes her abusive clan with the fierce determination of never falling under the power of a man. "Ever." Aggravated by shallow-hearted pursuing lasses, Robert Brodie, commander of his clan's elite guard, has foresworn scheming women. "Forever." When magick transforms Brodie Castle into a Christmas wonderland, the two despondent souls find solace in a most unexpected place . . . each other's arms. Amid a whirlwind of escalating events, Susanna's traumatic past threatens Robert's ability to protect the one woman meant for him. In a harrowing moment, as her fears and demons coalesce, will hope, faith, and love be enough to save them?
