Midnight Bride — Susan Carroll

Valentine St. Leger was born with an amazing gift: He can purge the suffering of others by taking their pain into his own body. Yet Val's healing hands cannot change destiny. Should Val wed, his unfortunate bride would be doomed to an early death. But Kate Fitzleger has loved Val almost her entire life and is not about to let what she calls a foolish superstition ruin her chance for happiness. So on All Hallow's Eve, when the spirits of good and evil mingle upon the earth, Kate defies fate with a powerful love potion -- which goes perilously awry. When Val awakens, he has no memory of the bizarre events that have given him desires he can no longer resist. All he knows is that his fair Kate is ripe for seduction. He will tempt heaven and hell to have her -- even if it means he could lose her forever.
