Free Book (Kindle/nook/noDRM) - Druid's Daughter

Update: 11/28/11 Now free in the Kindle store and from Barnes & Noble.

Druid's Daughter, the first title in the Garland of Druids series by Jean Hart Stewart, is free in the Kindle store and DRM-free from AllRomance and Ellora's Cave; doubtless it will be free from B&N later today or tomorrow. This is from EC's Blush series, so only suggestive romance.
Book Description
Morgan McAfee is a Druid and proud of her gifts, using them only for good causes. In 1898 few people acknowledge Druids and their power. When the head of London's Criminal Investigative Department is forced to work with her, he scoffs at her claimed abilities. Chief Inspector Lord Lance Dellafield has no belief in visions and auras. Trying to recover a kidnapped child, his disdain is unconcealed. Handsome, aristocratic and condescending, he wants no help from a Druid. Even though their sexual attraction grows steamier with every encounter.

Even when a serial murderer terrifies London, Lance hesitates to admit Morgan's power. Yet he can't dismiss the beautiful Druid's emerald eyes from his mind. If he hopes to solve the murders he finds he needs her help.

When the murderer stalks Morgan, can Lance save her? Will he acknowledge a Druid has captured his heart? Will being a Druid help her in this most important pursuit, gaining Lance's love?
