Dark Rival

Brenda Joyce’s “Dark Rival” Highland fighters pledged to defend innocence for all time—He is a golden man known as Black Royce, a gods’ soldier with a fierce combat reputation. Until he is dispatched to New York City to defend a healer from those who would exploit her abilities for personal gain, his oaths are his life. Royce knows Allie Monroe will be his only vulnerability the instant he sets eyes on her, and he is not mistaken.

A person’s destiny might be harmful. More than just an heiress, Allie Monroe is. Being a Healer, she will stop at nothing to protect those who fall prey to the evil that prowls the city at night. She can only do so much on her own, though, before destiny brings her the darkest Highlander of them all. Allie witnesses the destruction of Royce as darkness takes hold of him. Allie is now willing to go to any lengths to save Royce, even if it means traveling back in time to a perilous and shadowy past. They might lose their love—forever—if they confronted their foes.
