Book Description
Was she sent back in time to change Iain's fate . . . or share it? Caught between a job offer she should take and a marriage proposal she doesn't want, Dani Amico is dying for some adventure. So she takes off to visit some of the places on her bucket list. The first - an abandoned island she read about while researching her American History thesis. While there, she tumbles into an abandoned cellar hole . . . and wakes up more than two centuries in the past. It's 1775 and Iain MacKail's ship is loaded with contraband he is smuggling into Boston. This unknown Dani, the "boy" he found in his cellar, could be a spy for the British customs agents, so Iain is forced to take the boy with him to insure that he and his mission are not compromised. Only he soon finds out that this "boy" is so much more. As they travel through pre-revolutionary New England, Dani realizes she's falling for the rugged Scotsman. But she can't forget something she came across in her studies--the fate of Iain MacKail. He would be betrayed by someone close to him and suddenly disappear from history. Could this be the reason Dani fell through time--to save Iain? Could they live and love together in this war-torn time? Then again, if she tries--and fails--to change his fate . . . will she end up sharing it? Skye Taylor lives in Florida where she divides her time between writing novels, walking the beach with her dog, MacDuff, volunteering at the JAX USO, and trying to keep her to-be-read pile from taking over the house. She considers life an adventure and in a world of people who ask "why," she has decided to ask, "why not?" She spent two years in the South Pacific with the Peace Corps (2002-2004). She started jumping out of perfectly good airplanes in her fifties and earned a basic sky diving license. She loves to travel and has visited twenty-seven states, fourteen countries on four continents, and the South Pacific. Her bucket list includes at least that many more places to see. Having been born and lived most of her life in New England where her children grew up, she is now a transplanted Yankee soaking up the sun, warmth, and history of St. Augustine, Florida. She's a mom and grandmother with five grown children and fifteen grandchildren. She's a member of the Women's Fiction Writers Association, Romance Writers of America, Ancient City Romance Authors, and Florida Writers Association. Check out her website at: www.skye-writer.com

Chameleon on Plaid
Author: Tristan Kerjunel
Publisher: FriesenPress
ISBN: 1460284445
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
Part sex comedy, part historical what-if, Chameleon on Plaid is a racy joyride through the diverse neighbourhoods of Toronto in the late 1980s. It follows a group of bohemian young white men and women in their twenties from various social backgrounds as they take what the city has to offer and attempt to come to grips with their differing roles in an increasingly multicultural and multiracial city. With their lives part intimate play and part exploration of identity, when one among them declares his intention to assassinate a member of the British royal family in the name of Celtic nationalism, the inner group must decide just where its loyalties lie- to the law as it stands or to their friend. With sly and sometimes wild humour, Chameleon on Plaid takes the assassination plot to old-town Quebec City and back to Toronto in a rich tapestry of language and ideas that pulls the reader from one placid scene into chaos the next and through an aftermath which unfolds in often unexpected ways. Kerjunel's narrative is both global and local, pulling the reader between the complexities of love and lust, and where we may fit into history or just opt out and create our own. Sometimes in life and in love, realities entwine and sometimes they collide- sometimes they are subject to softsell or hardnosed negotiation and sometimes not so much or not at all.

When a Laird Loves a Lady

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 359
Book Description
A need to belong drives her. A longing to forget compels him. Fate may send them into each other’s arms, but only love can mend their hearts. An Outlander Raised by a tyrannical father, Marion de Lacy yearns for the comfort of belonging to a loving family. So when her father announces her betrothal to an evil knight in exchange for his help to overthrow the king, she concocts a desperate scheme to avoid the marriage: feigning her own death and then fleeing England. But when her plan goes terribly awry and she’s captured by the knight, not even her careful preparations could ready her for the Scottish barbarian who rescues her and then informs her that he’s to marry her by edict of her king. Certain her father will defy the king’s orders and wed her to the knight if she refuses the Highlander’s hand, Marion agrees to marry the strangely compelling but obstinate laird of the MacLeod clan. A Highlander After the death of his beloved wife, Iain MacLeod has no desire to marry ever again. Yet when he finds himself obliged to do so to secure the freedom of his childhood friend and king, he reluctantly travels across England to collect his unwanted bride, expecting to find a cold Englishwoman. Instead, he discovers a fiery, bold beauty who is fiercely loyal, protective of those she loves, and defies him at every turn, challenging his certainty that his heart is dead. Ensnared Following a hasty marriage and perilous journey to Scotland, Marion harbors no illusions that her new husband loves her. Still, her heart cannot resist the noble, brave warrior, and she cannot suppress the hope that she has finally found where she belongs. However, the harder she tries to fit in with the clan and gain Iain’s love, the farther away her dreams drift. Iain is more than willing to give his respect to his courageous wife—her kisses and caresses even ignite his blood and demand his passion—but he refuses to give up his heart. That is, until enemies near and far threaten to take Marion from him. Now the demons that haunt him can only be conquered by surrendering body and soul to Marion, if only it’s not too late… "WHEN A LAIRD LOVES A LADY by Julie Johnstone is the first book in the Highlander Vows: Entangled Hearts series, and I cannot wait for the second instalment. With beautiful imagery, the author transports the reader to a whole new world. Both Marion and Iain are meaningful and emotional characters, who I became deeply invested in. I could not put this book down. With plenty of danger, excitement and passionate encounters, WHEN A LAIRD LOVES A LADY by Julie Johnstone has got it all, and I now have a new favourite author." ~ Fresh Fiction
