Rory MacLeod has been injured in a fight with another clan. Then he finds himself in bed with a strange woman.  Ali's first thought is to get Rory to the nearest hospital but she is told that there is not one around. She is told that she has been sent through time to help heal Rory.  At first she does not believe but the more she sees of the things and people around her, she has no choice but to believe it.  Rory doesn't know what to think of Ali with her strange speech and ways.   Rory has always put his clan first, even before his own happiness.  Rory must marry someone who can bring more fighting men to help the clan. The more time he spends with Ali, the more he gets to know her, he finds himself falling in love with her.  Ali feels the same about Rory.  Rory will have to make a hard choice between his clan and his own happiness with Ali.

This is the first of Ms. Mazzuca's MacLeod series.  It is a wonderfully pleasing read.  The mixture of adventure, a very hot highlander and a touch of Fairy magic make this a very entertaining story and well worth your time.  And the surprise close to the end of the book makes it even better.  You will not be disappointed in this book.  After reading Lord of the Isles I put Ms. Mazzuca on my auto buy list.  When April get here run to the nearest bookstore to pick this book up.  And as an added bonus it has a great price.  The next installment of the MacLeod's series will be out in May of 2011.

After traveling to Scotland on business, the bed of a highland laird is the last place Ali Graham expected to wake up. But there's no mistaking the irresistibly masculine Scottish Highlander whose chamber she's accidentally infiltrated--or the severe wound he's suffered in battle. As a doctor, Ali knows how to heal his injury, how to nurse his body back to health. What she doesn't know is how to heal his heart...

A proud warrior and the leader of a powerful clan, Rory MacLeod is ready to fight to the death to protect his homeland. After all, ever since tragedy robbed him of his wife, he has had nothing to lose. Yet the mysterious woman sent to tend his wounds is beginning to reawaken something inside him--something that he'd rather stay buried. But when true passion is mixed with Scottish magic, even the most fearsome warrior could begin to fall. . .
