Men of Midnight #2
Iain Ross's Woman
IN THE ARMS OF DESTINY
She was like no woman Iain Ross had ever known, this American visitor he'd hauled, half-drowned, out of a Highland loch and taken home to warm before his fire. Before he quite knew what was happening, the earthy, irrepressible -- and utterly irresistible -- Billie Harper had turned his tradition-bound world upside down.
But there was something this most modern of women could possibly understand. No matter how his heart ached for her, the centuries-old curse upon his house doomed them to be mortal enemies -- and must keep them forever apart....
THE MEN OF MIDNIGHT: Three men born at the stroke of twelve and destined for love beyond their wildest dreams.

About the author
Emilie Richards
143 books951 followersI'm the author of seventy-something novels, including romance, women's fiction and mystery. When We Were Sisters debuted in June 2016, a stand alone novel about two foster sisters traveling back into their past together. I loved writing it and love the cover my publisher chose.
I'm also excited about my recent series, Goddesses Anonymous, which started with One Mountain Away and was followed by Somewhere Between Luck and Trust. The third book in the series, A River Too Wide, came out in July 2014. The Color of Light debuted in August 2015. Will there be more? We'll see.
I'm also putting up my newly edited romance backlist and love re-reading and updating them a bit.
Last year my husband and I moved from Virginia, to Osprey, Florida, the state where both of us were raised, met, and married. In the summer we live in Chautauqua, New York. I'm a quilter, knitter, kayaker, and the mother of four children, whom I regard as my greatest creative endeavors. And now there are four wonderful grandchildren to spoil.

I think after reading so many of this author's books which dealt with much heavier subjects I was a bit disappointed in this one. The main reason I guess was because the h/H spent so less page time together. These two meet when he rescues her from drowning. The hero is a wealthy man who has had many women in his life but no-one who affected him as much as the heroine but he has vowed to spend his life alone because of a genetic disease in his family. The heroine came to the Highlands to get away from the man she trusted and to work on her dissertation on folk-tales. When she meets the hero she learns that her Scottish ancestors cursed the hero's. Whenever these two were together in the book they sizzled but most often the hero ran away afterwards which was frustrating for the heroine and me as a reader. The book was nice but not as heart-tugging as her other reads.
