Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A journey through time to save one life jeopardizes the lives of everyone Scarlett holds dear in this finale of the Laird for all Time series. Scarlett would do anything to save her unborn baby, even return to a time she never thought she’d see again. Not for a moment had she missed the constant scrutiny of a celebrity life. To reappear now, inexplicably pregnant in the eyes of the modern world would create a media circus, but Scarlett knows she can overcome any obstacles with Laird at her side and the help of new friends drawn together across time itself by the enigmatic Scotsman known as Auld Donell. The crafty old Scot had been busy over the years, not just meddling in Scarlett’s life but browsing through time, tweaking history and changing the fates of his other ‘projects’. They’d all received a second chance at love, but are unaware of how closely they’re connected despite the years separating them. Unaware of how their Fates are entangled. And unaware of how Auld Donell’s ‘master plan’ to right a few wrongs of his own will put all their lives in peril against an unforeseen enemy. Laird Hepburn spent years enjoying his wife’s fantastic tales of the future world, but he’d never expected—or wanted to see it for himself. Now to ensure the survival of his unborn bairn and protect his family, he must face that alien world head on. Alas, the future holds more surprises and danger than any of them had anticipated. Soon, Laird realizes that in order to avert disaster and save the lives of his loved ones, he may be forced to sacrifice his own.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surely, she’d gone completely mad. Claire Manning can’t imagine what she was thinking when she decided to help the escapee from her company’s lab but after seeing him caged like an animal, her humanitarian compulsion cannot be overridden – even by the arrogant, scowling eighteenth-century Highlander Hugh Urquhart turns out to be. His entire life has been taken away from him and Claire understands the pain and torment of loss. She understands the desperation she sees in his eyes and is prepared to do whatever it takes to secure Hugh’s freedom and future. What she isn’t prepared for is the ruggedly handsome Scot she finds under the layers of grime and blood caked on him. Nor is she prepared to feel so much more than mere compassion for his suffering. Not once in Hugh’s entire life has he been taken for a savage or been argued with and commanded about like a lackey as often as he had by his savior from imprisonment. It was he who commanded. He who men yielded to. However, for this woman who had saved his life, Hugh is willing to concede that he doesn’t know everything, that he might need some small amount of help in navigating his way through the alien world he has been unwillingly dragged into. With inexplicable trust, Hugh hands over the reins of his future to Claire – or Sorcha as they would have called her in his world. A woman unlike any he has ever met. A woman of intelligence, wit, courage and startling passion buried deep beneath her bonny exterior. On the run, Claire and Hugh hide away from the agents pursuing them but cannot hide from the undeniable desire that ensnares them and both must face their pasts, the loss and heartache that plagues them if they hope to discover that there is a true time and place for every Highland laird.

Book excerpt: Second chances are only helpful if you recognize them for what they are. Celebrated actress Scarlett Thomas never wanted fame -- that was her parent’s dream. Now she’s ready to make big changes, but she could never have imagined how big those changes might turn out to be. Returning to the medieval Dunskirk Castle, where she filmed The Puppet War trilogy, she encounters an old Scotsman named Donell who directs her to an ancient claymore that sends Scarlett slipping back 500 years to a time when her modern struggles are dwarfed by a far more dangerous conflict brewing between Scotland and England. Scottish Border lord, James Hepburn, Laird of Achenmeade, is a man at loose ends. The illegitimate son of the auld King's illegitimate daughter, he has no place in his father’s home and no freedom to forge a future of his own. When war with England is again looming on Scotland’s horizon, James must not only fight for his country but do so while trying to battle his growing attraction for a slender, sassy lass who tempts him to defy his sire and his King. As the days pass, bringing them closer to war and to each other, Scarlett and James discover that their differences are not so profound as their similarities and that the 16th century and the 21st century do not diverge so much in what truly matters most. They try to fight against their growing attraction, but when they are confronted with the opportunity to live their lives freely, as they choose, will they seize their second chance before the Battle of Flodden separates them forever? Before it’s too late, will Scarlett realize how lucky she was to be taken by a Laird?

When she was accidently pushed into a wormhole, Allorah ‘Al’ Maines never imagined she’d be thrown back in time, land at the feet of a gorgeous Highlander… and be taken as his prisoner. Al is awestruck by the savage Scot who chained her up in his dungeon. But once she emerges from her cell, she finds herself even more captivated by the roguish Highlander he’s transformed into. An undeniably enticing manifestation of all her secret fantasies. Ones she’s tempted to explore. However, regardless of what the fairytales say, Al knows passion fades and lust dies. Keeping her heart intact and planning for a future on her own is the only way their story can end. If all women in the twenty-first century were as stubborn as Allorah Maines, Keir MacCoinnach wept for the future of man. Nay, he despaired for them. She’s utterly obtuse, difficult, aggravating… and quite possibly the most fascinating woman he’d ever met. Al offers him an intriguing peek into the future. Keeping her by his side is the key to the knowledge of the ages. Keeping her in his bed and in his heart is the key to a life of love and joy. But can Keir convince Al to share that life with him before she walks away forever? Can he prove to her the passion they discover between the sheets can surpass anything she’d ever found between the pages of her favorite novels?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Formerly Pride & Penitence, now a National Reader's Choice Award Finalist! "Delightful, charming and moving." ~ InD'Tale Magazine When her daughter comes across a box of letters written by Georgiana’s long-lost love and resolves to reunite the tragic lovers, Georgie can either let her daughter stumble upon her secret past… or face it—and him—herself. Georgiana Egerton had Malcolm MacKintosh shaking in his boots from the first moment he saw her. Just seventeen, but spirited and witty, she stole his heart right from the start. There was no use denying it. What he was willing to deny was the emotions that beset him when he sees her again twenty years later. His Georgie might be as bonny as the day they first met, but the heartache and betrayal that’d nearly been the death of him couldn’t be set aside simply because desire was still alive and well. Twenty years ago, Georgiana was ready to face scandal and hardship to be with Mal. With that love denied to them both, she spent decades filled with guilt over the pain she’d caused him. Now, to satisfy her daughter’s unrelenting meddling, she’s forced to confront the past… and Mal again. There’s no point in hoping to revive their old affair. After all that’s happened, her logical mind knows it’s too late for the two of them to begin again. Her heart, though… well, it’s not quite as convinced.

I have never completely gotten over the death of my "Mitchell." This story is about two people, who found love and didn't get a second chance to be together, it is heartwarming and tragic at the same time. Based on a true story with names, certain situations and locations changed to protect the guilty and/or innocent. Sometimes two people meet and feel a connection. If they both feel it they can pursue it. I'm not talking about sexual attraction. I'm talking about a strong reaction and a real connection. They can't take their eyes off each other and they aren't just thinking about sex. They are thinking about this new person and wondering how to get to know them. Sometimes they can turn that connection into love. It is such a delicious feeling when it happens to you. When Mitchell was gone I turned to God and My Church to help me get through the horror of it all. I even went to Mitchell's Catholic Church for a while to try and get over his loss. This is my struggle with guilt and the loss of the love of my life.SAVING CHICAGO This is a book about a detective who works homicide in Chicago. As we all know the rate of deaths in Chicago is higher that it has ever been, perhaps higher than anywhere else in the world. This detective is pretty burnt out on the job. He and his partner get put in charge of a murder scene at a restaurant where seventeen people were murdered. It is his job to find out why. He gets caught in the middle of a cartel battle trying to solve the case. The cartel tries to hunt him down and get him out of the way. His boss sends him away to a small island in the Caribbean until things cool down or the case is solved. On the island he meets a woman who is, at the very least, mysterious. He finds himself thinking about her all the time, at least when he is not trying to drink himself to death with island rum. What he finds when he starts searching for her and trying to get to know her, as far as he is concerned, is unbelievable. This is a story about redemption and how one man came out a better person after going through a disruptive time in his life.

Book excerpt: What is a girl to do when an awkward first date leads to a trip back in time?When she agreed to go on a date with quantum physicist, Dr. David Fergusson, Kate Kallastad never expected that he would insist on demonstrating his breakthrough in his RAL funded research into the creation of a trans-space teleportation device. Nor did she expect to get caught up in a science experiment that would send both Kate and her date hurling through space-time.Stranded in the past with only a diminishing hope that David will be able to send them home and nothing but time on her hands, Kate takes a step down from biochemist to take a job as a maid in the household of the new Earl of Harrowby. However, this Earl if no stuffy carbon copy of Walt Whitman but rather a stunning embodiment of masculine appeal who sends her senses reeling.To Kate, Brandon Ryder, the Earl of Harrowby, is not like any man the 21st century had ever produced. Beyond gorgeous, he is commanding, austere, aristocratic... magnificent. His appeal to a woman who had never known all those qualities in a single man was undeniable. They just didn't build them like that anymore. He is reserved where she is merry, grounded where she is capricious. However, when Brand sets his urbane exterior aside and the passionate man within emerges, it is enough to set Kate's heart soaring.Brandon Ryder has spent a lifetime bound by the rules of Society and one of those rules is that a gentleman doesn't trifle with the help. However, Kate Kallastad is no ordinary employee. His lovely new maid challenges him at every turn, astounding him with her forthright manner, by her audacity to treat him not as an Earl but as a mere mortal man. After years amid the prevarication of Society and a family that was distant at best, Brand finds Kate's honesty and comfortable familiarity tempting, daring him to break free of boundaries that have long ruled him, enticing him to indulge in the truest passion of his life... and his growing passion for her.Eager to indulge in an unexpected love affair with Brand, Kate embraces a life in the past only to be confronted with a choice. Life in a time that has little to offer a 21st century girl besides a chance at love or a return to her home where she has family and a job she is passionate about? Once her decision is made, will Kate regret her choice or will circumstances beyond her control change her mind for her when it is a matter of life or death?Love takes a journey across time only to be challenged by risks, regrets and denial. When they are finally able to set those all aside, will Brand and Kate find the right time for happiness and a life together?
