Warning: Not your typical Highlander romance.

As the title implies, the second in my Highland Wishes series of magical time-travel romances has a Highlander in it, but the Highlander isn’t the hero this time. The Highlander is the heroine. And she’s not your typical heroine.

In Wishing for a Highlander (book 1), my heroine, Melanie, is a single and pregnant career-focused, modern-day woman who gets tossed 500-years in the past to tangle with a virginal Highland warrior who is insecure about his unusually large size (in more ways than one *snickers like a middle-schooler*). In The Wolf and the Highlander (book 2), the heroine is the antagonist from the first book. Anya. After a bad fall, she is scarred, crippled, and bitter. Not your typical romance heroine. But her heart is repentant. I decided she should get a second chance, but I didn’t make it easy for her.

Enter the wolf-man.

Riggs is a bearded virgin who lives in a secluded cabin and never goes anywhere without his trusty axe. His people (a blend of Fae and mythical wolves) are dying. No females have been born to his race in many years. Anya, who believes she is next to worthless, becomes the most precious thing in existence, a woman young enough to revive the hope of an entire world.

Read on for the blurb, and don’t forget to enter my GIVEAWAY.

Here’s the blurb and buy links:

Anya’s been a bad girl. A vindictive plot against one of her clansmen backfired, resulting in her grave injury. Now scarred and crippled, her selfish ambition has turned into bitter self-loathing. She finds nothing lovely about herself, and doesn’t expect anyone else to either. But when a magical wishing box sends her to another dimension, she becomes the most valuable prize imaginable.

While hunting a rare marbled boar, Riggs, a trapper in Marann’s western forest, hears a strange cry. Distracted from the hunt, he loses the sow but finds instead something more valuable than a whole cart packed with marbled boar skins. A woman. She is delicate, her teeth are small and flat, and her skin is curiously hairless. She is not wolfkind. Maybe she is the miracle his people have been hoping for.

Riggs must bring Anya to King Magnus, because breeding rights belong first and foremost to His Majesty, who needs an heir. But the female calls to a primal part of him. He longs to keep her in secret and take her as his mate. But if he gives in to the temptation, he could single handedly bring about the end of civilization.

Jessi lives with her husband and children in the Seattle area. She’s a passionate reader of all genres of romance, especially anything involving the paranormal. Ghosts, demons, vampires, witches, weres, faeries…you name it, she’ll read it. As for writing, she’s sticking to Highlanders and contemporaries with a paranormal twist (for now). The last time she imagined a world without romance novels, her husband found her crouched in the corner, rocking.
