Synopsis

Helping her eccentric aunt organize a Beltane Festival in a picturesque Highland village seems like the perfect escape from Anna's second broken engagement and the meltdown that wrecked her legal career. But to succeed in helping the cash-strapped village, she'll need to overcome the objections of the reclusive local laird who refuses to open his property to the public for the ancient tradition of "Sighting."

For centuries, Loch Fàil in Balwhither has been known to locals as a "thin" place, one where the veil between worlds peels back on Beltane morning to reveal the face of a person's one true love. The tradition could draw tourists by the busload, but that's exactly what Connal MacGregor fears will expose the secrets he's been desperate to keep hidden.

While Anna struggles to mediate between the needs of the village and Connal's need to protect his identity and his daughter, she finds herself falling in love with all of them: Connal and his child, the magical glen, the villagers. But day by day, opening herself to honest relationships exposes deeper scars from her own childhood, and confronting those wounds could finally set Anna free to love with her whole heart--or endanger her every chance of happiness.

Bell of Eternity [2]

**Available for Pre-order**

Love beyond time, an island castle in Cornwall, dangerous secrets, and a handsome kilt-wearing chef make the perfect recipe for new romance from the award-winning author of Compulsion and Lake of Destiny.

Emma Larsen put her life on hold after the accident that left her mother paralyzed and cost a man his life. For four long years, Treave Nancarrow, the deceased man's son, has often been the only friend she could lean on. But when he suddenly proposes marriage after her mother's funeral, Emma can't help being dismayed. She's already trying to decide between transforming her home cooking hobby into a profession or going back to college. She can't afford to jump from one commitment to another before she's had a chance to find out what she wants. Still, when Treave begs her to accompany him to a wedding at his family's castle in Cornwall so he can show her how compatible they would be, how can she refuse?

She falls in love with the romantic Cornish coast, a world rich with legends, hauntings, and ancient superstitions--like the one about the ghostly bell that tolls only when a pair of lovers are destined to be together forever. When a tragedy rocks the small community and everyone pitches in to help, though, Treave seems like a different person--one Emma begins to fear. Then, too, there's Brando MacLaren, the handsome, kilt-wearing Scotsman who shows her things she's forgotten about herself and makes her feel adventurous and alive. But Brando has his own healing to do. He also has a secret, one he's keeping from her. Can Emma trust him with her heart? Can she trust either one of the men? An ancient Cornish legend might help guide her choice between them--if she can find the courage to believe her instincts and her feelings.
