She’d give everything to keep his love. He’d chase her through time to save her soul.
About the Book: Marie Murray, a spunky expert on spiritual buildings, jumps
at the opportunity to renovate the mosaic floor of the chapel at Dunstaffnage
Castle. There, she falls hard for the dashing John MacArthur because from their
first kiss, sparks fly.
Believing her religious renovation
creates magic, a fanatical priest, obsessed with obtaining powerful magic from
the fabled Stone of Iona, he kidnaps Marie and drags her to 15th-century
Scotland.
With his love kidnapped, John must
tackle his hereditary duty and locate a magic Fae stone while chasing his love
across time. Her memories of their passion keep her sane. His will to find her
is his fuel but will he get to Marie in time to save her soul?
An Excerpt:
She turned around as she
tried to detect the candle in the dark to light it. Lightning lit up the room,
and she spied the candle for a moment. Marie placed her hand on the counter and
patted down, only to find the sink. Thunder boomed again, and she yelped as she
gripped the cup. She extended her hand out again, but this time encountered
something warm.
Marie screamed as she held the cup for dear life. Large arms
wrapped around her in a warm embrace. Her face rested against a man’s naked
chest which wiggled as he chuckled. She took a deep breath, smelled John’s
scent of light musk, and relaxed in his embrace.
“Sorry, a nighean,” my
girl. “I only meant to play with ye. I didn’t think I’d scare ye.”
Marie huffed and pushed
against him. “Well, ye scared me all right. Thought I found the ghostie, the
Green Lady of Dunstaffnage, in the flesh.” She lifted her head, peeked at him,
then rested her hand on his naked chest.
John stepped back as he took her cup. It
clinked as he set it on the counter. She felt him move away as his form shifted
towards the stove. The clank of the kettle told her he’d picked it up.
His body moved to her, and he reached
around her to turn on the water. The kettle filled with a gurgle. He amazed her
at how he easily navigated the kitchen in the darkness.
In a flash of lighting, his white teeth
glowed as his voice calmed her. “Didn’t ye want some tea?”
Marie blinked as her eyes adjusted to the
darkness and his face outlined in the dark, close to hers. She took a deep
breath. “Aye, tea would be nice.”
John chuckled as he moved away. “This
happens every storm.” At the stove, with his eyes on hers, he opened the
drawer, took out a long lighter, and held it up. He smiled, flicked it on, then
lit the stove manually casting him in shadow. He stretched over her and lit the
candle. A warm light illuminated the room and cast a golden glow around them.
As he pulled back, he stopped when their
faces were a mere breath apart and stared into her eyes. He stepped closer and
smiled as he reached to the cabinet behind Marie and retrieved another cup.
Marie shifted out of his way, but he
placed the cup on the counter stopping her motion. He put the lighter on the
other side. John leaned on the counter trapping her between his arms.
He gazed into her eyes as he opened the
drawer next to her hip. His hand shifted around, then pulled out the tea and
tea strainers and set them on the counter. His gaze held hers.
Marie raised an eyebrow. “I see ye’ve made
tea in the dark before.”
John smiled.
“Aye.”
