He may be a brooding man, but he was still a man regardless of his claim of waiting for a soul mate. She couldn’t imagine him waiting to have sex with his one true love, but she had a hunch casual sex didn’t fit his persona either and she had to ask: “Do you truly believe there’s a soul mate waiting for you?”
“I need to hope. I take it ye never been in love.”
“Of course I have, but the relationships didn’t last.” His lips curved into a ghost of a smile and the thought rankled her that she'd amused him in some way. “Listen, Alan—”
He didn’t wait for her to finish and said, “There was somethin’ missin’ in these relationships of yers, aye?”

Falling in love can be complicated, can it not?

If you're interested here's a blurb for Magic of the Loch:
Michaela Grant travels to Scotland for a holiday, knowing this vacation is her last. A medical condition threatens her life and any chance of a future—until she meets Alan MacLachlin, a man forced to exist between two worlds.
Alan is the legendary Loch Ness Monster. Once every fifty years he returns to human form in search of his soul mate, the one woman who can break his curse. He believes he has found forever with Michaela, but to claim it he must figure out how to save her life.
Michaela and Alan vow to take what time has to offer, but another threat looms. A sinister shape shifter with a vendetta against Alan is making Loch Ness his personal hunting ground. Now he's threatening Michaela. Alan must discover who the shifter is and stop him before it's too late.
