Midnight Bride

Valentine St. Leger was born with amazing gift to relieve the suffering of others by absorbing their pain into his own flesh. But Val's healing power can do nothing to change his own bleak destiny. He can never marry. According to the St. Leger legend, Val is fated to never find his perfect bride, his one true soul mate. Should Val defy his family tradition, his bride would be doomed. But Kate Fitzleger has loved Val her entire life and is not about to let a ridiculous superstition spoil their chance for happiness. Stealing an ancient book of sorcery, Kate seeks a powerful love spell. On the mystical night of All Hallow's Eve, when evil spirits walk abroad, Kate tempts fate by casting a dark magic that goes awry. When Val awakens, he does not remember the bizarre events that have changed him - the midnight visit of an old enemy or the return of a dangerous relic that has altered his soul, giving him desires he can no longer resist. All Val knows is his passion for Kate. He will defy heaven and hell to have her even if it means he could lose her forever.
