Living off the Scottish coast, Kassandra has dreamed of her soul mate, as well as the hooded killer who will murder her beloved unless she intercedes and changes destiny. By 1076, she knows she must act or her love will be doomed to end before it can begin. She leaves her safe haven Loch Nidean Forest to journey to the court where the aristocracy will treat her as a fey freak.

Kassandra meets her cherished Laird Caededryn, but instead of falling into his arms, he rejects her and her dreams. He has a quest to regain his family's stolen lands, taken when his mother remarried. However, he finds himself dreaming of making love with Kassandra, and soon cannot resist her fey lure. Still, he denies her contention that an assassin plans to kill him if they fail to uncover the identity of the hooded shadowy figure and prevent the treachery in time.

IN MY WILD DREAM is a charming, medieval romantic fantasy starring a fascinating heroine whose courage readers will admire, and whose fairy-like skills will astonish the audience, as Sasha Lord makes Kassandra believable. Caededryn believes he has no time for the spirited female, who somehow gets inside his padlocked heart, even as he rejects her affirmation that they are fated to be lovers, albeit for a short time unless they act now. Sub-genre fans will enjoy this eleventh century sequel (see the Wild tales such as UNDER A WILD SKY and BEYOND THE WILD WIND, ETC.), freshened up by the paranormal elements.
