Briony Fairborn, a midwife in eighteenth-century Scotland, comes from a family shrouded in scandal. Left with only one friend after her mother’s death, she has little hope of gaining any others, let alone finding a husband. Instead, Briony tries to live a quiet life and avoid her neighbors’ ridicule as much as possible. But things in her hometown take a drastic turn when a storm brings foreigners to Everton’s shore. On the night Santiago Mendes arrives, he comes with a broken ship, a broken leg, and a broken spirit that Briony finds herself profoundly drawn to. Her scarred heart slowly starts to open, and although Briony suspects he may be hiding something, she can’t help but dream of the possibility of love. That is, until another stranger appears in town, intent on repaying a childhood debt. A dangerously handsome stranger who calls to the magic in Briony’s blood. And who holds the secrets of her past. But when the fate of her entire town is put at risk, Briony will have to decide where her loyalties lie. Will she be Everton’s salvation? Or its destruction? The Secret of Drulea Cottage is the first book in a series of clean fantasy romances set in 18th-century Scotland. Each book in the Betwixt the Sea and Shore series explores the love story of a different couple, but the plots are all interconnected.

Download or read book The Angel of Torin Woods written by Claire Kohler and published by Claire Kohler. This book was released on 2024-08-31 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scotland, 1731. A boy trying to reconcile with his brother. His mysterious neighbor who can’t let anyone close. Could a trip to the Fairy Realm solve their problems? The day Vincent McLaren glimpsed an extraordinary creature in Torin Woods was the day his brother lost all faith in him. Since then, he’s tried to convince Tam of the truth countless times and done everything he could to make amends. Everything, except the one thing he’s terrified of: returning to the forest to find proof. But when his father forces him to go collect firewood, a chance encounter with an enchanting singer makes him more certain than ever of the forest’s magic. His brother doesn’t believe him, but he says he’ll give Vincent a chance to earn his trust again—if he captures the singer, so Tam can see it for himself. Bethany Fairborn knows better than to trust the humans in her village. Her bitter mother made sure she learned that at an early age. Her days are focused on following in her family’s footsteps to become Everton’s next midwife, and she only uses her magic when she’s alone—until the annoying fisherman’s son invades her refuge. When Vincent takes Tam up on his offer, Bethany makes the impulsive decision to join him on the hunt, figuring he’ll give up after a few hours. She didn’t expect they’d wind up trapped in the Fairy Realm—or that she’d start wishing Vincent could become more than a friend. To get home, they’ll have to trust each other, but if Bethany reveals her secret, Vincent may become a bigger threat than anything they’ll find in the Fairy Realm.

But when her parents tell her to choose between two unsuitable men for a husband, desperation drives her to find any means of escape. Even if it means collecting three magical items for the Fair Folk, things she can only obtain with the help of her conniving, disrespectful, and undeniably handsome servant. Niall Moreland—exiled, powerless, broken—has only one goal: settling the scores with the people who destroyed his life. To do that, he’ll have to be both cunning and patient. He can’t afford to get distracted, least of all by his new master’s irritating daughter. But as one of the most influential humans in town, tricking Muireall into owing him a favor could prove useful. He couldn’t care less that fairy bargains always come with strings attached; all that matters is that she helps him when the time comes. There’s just one small problem: the longer Niall spends with her, the more he starts to wonder if humans aren’t as terrible as he thought. And if revenge isn’t the thing he wants most. Magical bargains aren’t broken lightly, but the cost of success may be too high for either of them to pay.
