"The Sorcerer's Lady" by Debra Dier
Love Spell, July 1995 Reviewed on 5/17/00 | |||||

Victorian debutante Laura Sullivan couldn't believe her eyes. Aunt Sophie's ancient spell had
conjured up the man of Laura's dreams - and deposited a half-naked barbarian in the library of her Boston home.
With his bare chest and sheathed broadsword, the golden giant was a tempting study in Viking maleness, but hardly
the proper blue blood Laura was supposed to marry. An accomplished sorcerer, Connor had traveled through the
ages to reach his soul mate, the bewitching woman who had captured his heart. But Beacon Hill wasn't ninth-century
Ireland, and Connor's powers were useless if he couldn't convince Laura the love was stronger than magic and that
she was destined to become the sorcerer's lady.
