image of Beguiled by the Highlander cover with Scottish warrior and woman in red dress. “Ye’ve bewitched me. I cannot get ye out of my mind.”

“Then ye’ve bewitched me too.” Her teasing smile faded. “Stay a little longer. Yer memories will return. There’s no need to leave to find them.”

He pressed his forehead against hers. “I must.” His throat was raw. Surely, she knew he had no choice but to leave. “I want to know who I am, Isolde. I want to hear ye call me by my God-given name when I finally make ye mine.”
