Synopsis

A New York Times Bestseller I am Dageus MacKeltar, a man with one good conscience and thirteen bad ones, driven to sate my darkest desires . . . From his penthouse lair high above Manhattan, Dageus looks out over a glittering city that calls to the darkness within him. A sixteenth-century Scot trapped between worlds, he is fighting a losing battle with the thirteen druids who possess his soul, dooming him to an eternity of sexual pursuit. When Chloe Zanders, student of antiquaries, is drawn into his world, she finds the insatiable alpha male an irresistible lure. Before long, she is caught up in an ancient prophecy that will sweep her back in time to medieval Scotland. Plunged into a world of timeless magic and dark seduction, she will soon face the challenge of a lifetime: fighting thirteen evil spirits for the heart of an irresistible man.

Original review (2020): Honestly, I expected to love this as much as I did Kiss of the Highlander (and let me tell you, I loved it a whole lot); Dageus is Drustan’s twin, after all.
