The veil.

by Helen Mittermeyer

A DARING SCOTTISH BEAUTY Cloistered at a Mediterranean convent, Mary of the Cross, talented sculptress Finola MacDonnell hid behind a veil. She had defied convention by choosing art over marriage and had never known a man's touch--until an earthquake threw her into the arms of a seafaring warrior, and opened her heart to desire... A FEARLESS ADVENTURER Einar Thorhallsson sailed the Swan Road seeking Christendom's most sacred chalice. What he found was a beguiling Scotswoman who captured his heart. But before he could stake his claim, she and the cursed relic were gone, abducted by a band of Arab raiders. Now, fueled by a fiery passion that coursed through his veins, he searched for them, certain that nothing--not even the dark secrets that lay within his soul -- would keep him from his destiny and Finola's love.
