Rose of the Mists (Rose Trilogy #1)
Laura Parker

Yet from the moment she sees the handsome Englishman bathing naked and magnificent in an Irish pond, Meghan feels the stirring of the love said to be impossible for her. If only he could be hers…if only for one wanton night.
Then she saves his life, and alters her destiny.
Revelin Butler cannot forget the lovely face of the woman who rescued him from certain death. Is she real, or only his imagination? Against all reason, he sets out in search of her. What he discovers is a passion he must not pursue with a rare brave woman who would deny him nothing.
Set against war, treachery and political intrigue, Meghan and Revelin risk all for a love that will change a curse into a legend to be remembered down through the ages.
