Magic Man
by Patricia Rice

New York Times bestselling author Patricia Rice enchants readers once again with the finale to her "Magic" series—the story of Aidan Dougal, whose need for the love of one amazing woman is as great as his towering physique and turbulent emotions....

A man of mysterious allure to others, Aidan Dougal is, in fact, isolated in every way—alienated from a family he can never call his own and convinced he brings literal destruction wherever he goes. For such a man, intimacy is impossible and marriage out of the question. Even asking for help is beyond him...until a wily enemy forces him to accept assistance from a gentle young woman whose delicate beauty and strange enchantments turn his cool composure into red-hot passion.

Left homeless by the death of her adopted parents, Mora Abbott is not the meek vicar's daughter she appears to be. Inside, she seethes with a desire to live life fully and embrace the magical talents she's only beginning to discover in herself. But Aidan, who stirs her soul in every way, presents a formidable challenge...and unless he is willing to open his heart and explore the potential of their combined magical powers, their attraction can never blossom into the full flower of love.
