Cathal MacNachton and Connall MacAdie are cousins bound by far more than blood ties and the rugged Highland landscape their clan calls home. The ancient curse of their ancestry has fated them to live by night with an unquenchable thirst that neither can tame. The only thing that can save their souls is marriage to Outsiders - mortals whose untainted blood will weaken the curse in their children and break the chains of fear that have made their clan a breed apart. Bridget Callan and Exa Caxton are the women who will shape the clan's destiny. Marriage to these strange and mysterious men will rescue each of them from desperate circumstances - and draw them into a web of danger, desire, and intrigue...

From Booklist

Two Scottish lairds who share family ties and a connection of a different nature find romance in this pair of dark and dangerous novellas, each a vampire love story. In Howell's Nightriders, Cathal MacNachton believes that change is the only hope for his clan. Instead of seeking a bride among the pureblood nightriders, Cathal intends to wed a woman from the outside. When clansmen rescue Bridget Callan from a band of murderous thieves, Cathal decides that she is the one. In Sand's The Highland Bride, Eva Caxton is more than grateful to escape a future in a nunnery for the chance to wed Connall MacAdie. Thus she is prepared to ignore rumors about her new husband being part of a "bloodthirsty band of creatures who hunt the night," even when it seems as if there might be some substance to the gossip. Howell's tale is deliciously spooky, while Sands adds sharp humor to her story, making this a duo of delightfully sexy Scottish vampire romances. John Charles
