Enter a world of timeless seduction, of ancient intrigue and modern-day passion. Enter the dazzling world of Karen Marie Moning, whose acclaimed Highlander novels have captivated readers, spanning the continents and the centuries, bringing ancient Scotland vividly to life. In a new novel brimming with time-travel adventure and sensual heat, the nationally bestselling author of The Dark Highlander delivers a love story that will hold you in thrall--and a hero you will most certainly never forget.
BEWARE: lethally seductive alpha male of immense strength and dark eroticism, do not look at him. Do not touch him. Do not be tempted. Do not be seduced.
With his long, black hair and dark, mesmerizing eyes, Adam Black is Trouble with a capital T. Immortal, arrogant, and intensely sensual, he is the consummate seducer, free to roam across time and continents in pursuit of his insatiable desires. That is, until a curse strips him of his immortality and makes him invisible, a cruel fate for so irresistible a man. With his very life at stake, Adam's only hope for survival is in the hands of the one woman who can actually see him.
Enter law student Gabrielle O'Callaghan, who is cursed with the ability to see both worlds: Mortal and Faery. From the moment she lays eyes on this stunning male, Gabby is certain of one thing: He could be her undoing. Thus begins a long, dangerous seduction. Because despite his powerful strength and unquenchable hungers, Adam refuses to take a woman by force. Instead, he will tease his way into Gabby's bed and make her want him just as he wants her.
Now, no matter how hard Gabby tries to avoid him, Adam is everywhere, invisible to all but her--perched atop her office cubicle in too-tight jeans, whispering softly from behind the stacks of the law library, stealing her breath away with his knowing smile...all the while tempting her with the promise of unimaginable pleasure in his arms. But soon danger will intrude on this sensual dance. For as Adam's quest to regain his immortality plunges them into a world of timeless magic and the deadly politics of the Faery queen's court, the price of surrender could be their very lives. Unless they can thwart the conspiracy that threatens both mortal and Faery realms...and give them a shot at a destiny few mortals ever know: glorious, wondrous, endless love.

I started to read this series a few months back thanks a friend who recommended it to me, and from the start I had liked Adam who is the hero in this book, in the first book of the series he is the irresistible rogue who you just can't help but lust after. He tries to kidnap the heroine of that story and I just couldn't hate him he was cool, a dangerous, dark and handsome devil, through the series we see him appear in a couple of other stories portraying his different facets, father, wiked mischievious fairy and a protector of humanity.
Now this book is his story, it all begins in the previous book of the series, at the ending of said book he makes the Queen of the Fairies save the Dageous McKeltar but pays the price by being stripped of his immortality and powers. And so this story begins, he is now human and invisible to boot. He meets the Heroine who is the only person who can see him and together (albeit reluctantly on her part at first) embarc on an adventure of intrigue, prejudice and hot hot hot scenes Wink
Adam Black is the perfect hero, tortured, devoted, posessive, protective, cynical, sweet and oh so sexy.
Gabriel the heroine is strong, witty, smart, nonwhimpering, posessive, nonconfussed, brave and fun.
A lovely match and a book that made me cry, what an ending. I assure you that if you read this book you'll cry with that ending it is imposible no to. This is absolutely my favorite story of the Highlander series. I didn't think there would be a hotter hero than either of the MacKeltar twins but Adam is my man! He seemed annoying in other novels but he really came a long way. Wonderful book! Loved it! Finally the story of Adam Black, smoking hot blacksmith and fairy. Just when I thought this series couldn't get better, Ms Moning pulls out all stops on Adam's story. Here we me his heroine, aspiring lawyer Gabrielle, who's actually a sidhe seer (Someone who can see the fairies) like Mackayla Lane of the fever series, which I love by the way but I digress. Anyway, here we find Adam Black stripped of his powers walking in the human world--- the only hang up is no one can see him and he can't see the fae. For months, he's been all alone until Gabrielle sees him. There begins an ala Taming of the Shrew Kate and Petruchio courtship that had me grinning from ear to ear. Also, it doesn't hurt that the MacKeltar twins make an appearance and play pivotal roles in the story.
Love this book! A must read! From the book Cincinnati, Ohio Several months later . . .
Chapter One
Summer, Gabrielle O'Callaghan brooded--always her favorite season--had absolutely sucked this year.
Unlocking her car, she got in and slipped off her sunglasses. Shrugging out of her suit jacket, she nudged off her heels and took slow, deep breaths. She sat collecting herself for a few moments, then tugged free the clip restraining her hair and massaged her scalp.
She was getting the start of a killer headache.
And her hands were still shaking.
She'd nearly betrayed herself to the Fae.
She couldn't believe she'd been so stupid, but, God, there were just too many of them this summer! She hadn't spotted a fairy in Cincinnati for years, but now, for some bizarre reason, there were oodles of them.
Like Cincinnati was some kind of great place to hang out--could a city be more boring? Whatever their unfathomable reason for choosing the Tri-State, they'd appeared in droves in early June, and had been ruining her summer ever since.
And pretending she didn't see them never got any easier. With their perfect bodies, gold-velvet skin, and shimmering iridescent eyes, they were a little hard to miss. Drop-dead gorgeous, impossibly seductive, dripping pure power, the males were a walking temptation for a girl to--
Brusquely she shook her head to abort that treacherous thought. She'd survived this long and was darned if she was going to slip up and get caught by one of the erotic--exotic, she corrected herself impatiently--creatures.
But sometimes it was so hard not to look at them. And doubly difficult not to react. Especially when one caught her off guard like the last one had.
She'd been having lunch with Marian Temple, senior partner at the law firm of Temple, Turley and Tucker, at a posh downtown restaurant; a very critical lunch, during which she'd been interviewing for a postgraduate position.
A soon-to-be-third-year law student, Gabby was serving a summer internship with Little & Staller, a local firm of personal injury attorneys. It had taken her all of two days on the job to realize she was not cut out for representing pushy, med-bill-inflating plaintiffs who were firmly convinced their soft-tissue injuries were worth at least a million dollars per ache.
At the opposite end of the legal spectrum was Temple, Turley and Tucker. The most prestigious firm in the city, it catered to only the most desirable clients, specializing in business law and estate planning. What carefully selected criminal cases they chose to represent were renowned, precedent-setting ones. Ones that made a difference in the world, protecting fundamental rights and addressing intolerable injustices. And those were the cases she hungered to get her hands on. Even if she had to slave away for years, doing research and fetching coffee to get to them.
She'd been stressed all week, anticipating the interview, knowing that TT&T hired only the cream of the crop. Knowing she was competing against dozens of her classmates, not to mention dozens more from law schools around the country, in a cutthroat bid for a single opening. Knowing Marian Temple had a reputation for demanding nothing less than high-gloss sophistication and professional perfection.
But thanks to hours of aggressive practice interviews and pep talks from her best friend, Elizabeth, Gabby had been calm, composed, and in top form. The aloof Ms. Temple had been impressed with... Enter a world of timeless seduction, of ancient intrigue and modern-day passion. Enter the dazzling world of Karen Marie Moning, whose acclaimed Highlander novels have captivated readers, spanning the continents and the centuries, bringing ancient Scotland vividly to life. In a new novel brimming with time-travel adventure and sensual heat, the nationally bestselling author of The Dark Highlander delivers a love story that will hold you in thrall--and a hero you will most certainly never forget.
