Donna Grant. St. Martin’s Paperbacks, $7.99 mass market (368p) ISBN 978-0-312-55248-0

Grant’s first Dark Warriors paranormal craftily blends elements of reality and magic as a Scottish warrior is thrust forward in time 400 years. Logan Hamilton has traveled to the 21st century to defeat Deirdre, “a Druid who had given herself over to evil and black magic.” Logan is unprepared for his magnetic attraction to Gwynn Austin, an American woman who has come to Scotland in search of her missing father, an archeologist. As Logan helps Gwynn discover some truths about herself and her ancestry, they are bound together in a quest to find an ancient tablet that will help Logan and his fellow warriors defeat Deirdre and her evil. Though Gwynn and Logan are from different centuries, their attraction and developing romance is real and scintillating as he comes to terms with her independent streak and she learns to love him despite his overprotective nature. Time travel, ancient legends, and seductive romance are seamlessly interwoven into one captivating package. Agent: Amy Moore-Benson, AMB Literary Management. (June)
