My snip this week is from The Laird Wild Heather Book 1, currently available on Kindle HERE
Andrew, a wealthy Australian architect, takes
life too seriously. Liz, his PA, is outgoing; a perfect foil for her boss. She
is passionate about Celtic lore. Reluctantly Andrew answers a plea from his
elderly aunts to travel to Scotland before his uncle dies. He has no desire
to visit the land his father left under a cloud many years ago, but Liz persuades him to take her along. In the dilapidated
castle, while exploring a disused attic, the pair set off a course of events
that propel them back in time to 1050 where they meet Travis, coincidentally Andrew's
double.
Travis, Book 2 in my Wild Heather series is coming soon from Books We Love
If they ever got back to their own time—no, when they got
back—he'd have a hell of a job convincing his friends this had really happened.
But perhaps it wasn't really happening. But it had to be; everything felt so
real. He thumped a fist into a palm. Certainly he was solid, the floor beneath
his feet real.
And Liz felt as soft and womanly as ever. The heathen was attracted
to her, for sure. The great oaf wouldn't have any qualms about doing away with
him that was another certainty. Andrew knew he must keep his head, if only for
Liz's sake. What in God's name were they doing here? He couldn't make any sense
of it. People just didn't travel through time. It was too preposterous for
words.
If only his frail old Uncle Lawrence hadn't wished to see
his last remaining male heir, they might still be at home. If only he hadn't
let Liz persuade him to let her accompany him to Scotland.
It was her inquisitiveness that got them into this bloody
mess. Andrew's mind strayed back to when he'd picked her up at the flat she
shared with a monster of a cat. The moggy leapt onto him with a growl as she
opened the door. Andrew grinned. Despite her admonishments the animal curled
itself about his shoulders. He'd threatened to kill it one day. She merely
laughed and took it off to the neighbor who had the unenviable task of
cat-sitting.
Liz sent him to her bedroom to collect her luggage. Although
he'd picked her up on a few occasions when she'd accompanied him on business
dinners, he'd never been into her personal domain. It mirrored her personality
to a tee. A complete contrast to his own bland serviced apartment a short
distance away, her décor was a mish-mash of colors. Bright orange and green
cushions were scattered on her large bed, which sported a tasseled bedspread
and gold-knobbed headboard. A stuffed tiger sat in majestic dignity in the middle
of the pillows.
How many men had
shared that bed with her? Had the man in the photo on the bedside cabinet
been one of them? Taken on her graduation day the photo showed her smiling into
the eyes of a handsome man in his early forties. A smiling woman in a
wheelchair sat between them.
