Branwyn ap Owen knows it’s appointed for men “once to die, then the judgment,” but his hell is to live again and again until he rights an ancient wrong. Unlike other such souls caught on a karmic wheel, he remembers the past, and he always remembers her.
Liza of Carlisle knows nothing of the vow trapping her in Bran’s judgment, yet when he walks into her inn, their instant connection is unnerving. She fights the inevitable, knowing instinctively this wanderer could destroy the life she loves.
Determined to repair the damage of his first betrayal, Bran uses the knowledge of a thousand years to woo Liza. Yet just as he regains her heart, a fresh betrayal threatens their last hope for love.

Excerpt
Bran frowned at the bite in her voice. “I do no' ken yer anger with me, Liza. No' even the Scots are this combative. Do I remind ye of yer husband or a lover who ill-used ye?”
“I have had no lover but him.”
“Perhaps that ' tis the problem. Ye want what ye can no' have.”
She made a sound between disgust and laughter. “Oh, I am quite certain I can have it if I but ask.”
“Aye, ye could.”
She stared at the river.
“Liza.”
Her name on his tongue pulled her agitation into a sharp-pointed need. She ached.
“I can no' offer ye the morrow. Even if I ne'er leave Carlisle, this moment is all that is mine to give.”
She made the mistake of looking at him. He claimed her attention, kept it. Heat sparked between them. Nervousness swarmed like excited bees in her stomach. Wulfric had never made her tingle with expectation, and Aelric for all his sweetness never caused her body to knot like a Celtic brooch.
Bran did both just by breathing.
