"A fascinating tale of reincarnation and redemption" from the New York Times–bestselling author of the Midgard and Fane series ( Library Journal). Though mountain search-and-rescue worker Jesse Copeland is used to risking herself to save others, she must tap into all her reserves of bravery to solve the most haunting mystery of her life: her mother''s puzzling death. Little does Jesse know her investigation will make her the target of two men: a present-day threat and a centuries-old hero . . . Two hundred years ago, David Ventris, or Lord Ashthorpe, knew Jesse as a woman he had passionately desired—and then betrayed. Now he has a chance to right the wrongs of his past by protecting Jesse from the evil that stalks her. If only he can convince her of his corporeal existence and that he is a man she can love and trust, body and soul. Praise for Susan Krinard "Susan Krinard was born to write romance." —Amanda Quick, New York Times–bestselling author "The reading world would be a happier place if more paranormal romance writers wrote as well as Krinard." — Contra Costa Sunday Times "A vivid, talented author with a sparkling imagination." —Anne Stuart, New York Times–bestselling author

The New York Times–bestselling author "takes readers to a realm where Faerie and mortal worlds intersect and spins a darkly magical story" ( Library Journal). After eloping with her mysterious cousin Cornelius, Eden Fleming discovers he is, in reality, a powerful, otherworldly being, a guardian of the forest, and she was "given" to him by her father in a bargain for the latter''s life. Though her feelings for the forest lord are real, Eden flees—only to learn she is pregnant with his halfling child. Years later, following a loveless marriage, Eden returns to the dilapidated estate where she last saw Cornelius. And when he finds her there, a devastating lie will be exposed—one that will reveal Cornelius''s true heart, heal Eden''s shattered soul, and save the magical realm they have both come to love. Based on the ancient English legend of Herne the Hunter, The Forest Lord is "sheer magic . . . utterly romantic and impossible to put down" (Mary Balogh). "Magical, mystical, and moving, Krinard''s book has a surprise villain and a nice twist at the end. Fans of Nora Roberts'' Irish trilogy [ Jewels of the Sun, Tears of the Moon, Heart of the Sea] and Karen Fox''s Buttercup Baby will be delighted by this fantasy and its underlying ecological message." — Booklist
