About the book: 

Battled scarred, Dragon Knight, Alastair MacKay, has fled to the seas to separate himself from his powers that are connected to the land. Yet, when he rescues a woman from a slave trader in Ireland, he steps back inadvertently into a world filled with magic—taking on the role of protector and leading him on a journey to confront his greatest fears.

Research assistant, Fiona O’Quinlan loves translating ancient artifacts at Trinity College. When she falls asleep on an archeological dig, she awakens in another time. She soon discovers a Dragon Knight’s relic has been entrusted into her care. Determined to return the artifact to the Great Glen, Fiona is unprepared for the danger ahead—losing her heart and soul to Alastair “Beast” MacKay.


Will their love be strong enough to soothe the beast and heal the man? Or will Death swing its axe, leaving them lost for all eternity? 




EXCERPT



He would get the truth out of her. She was now his. Bought and paid for.

His anger simmered just below the surface, and he allowed his eyes to flash with the fire of the dragon. Hearing her gasp, he smiled. Good, little bird. Fear me. Without giving her time to react, he swept her up and dumped her over his left shoulder, and strode to the ship.

He heard her sharp intake of breath, and then she started to pound against his back. “Put...me down,” she demanded.

“Nae.”

She started to kick, and he clenched his jaw in frustration. The little bird had talons. He responded with a smack to her bottom, but instead of removing his hand, he kept it against her soft curves. “I will put ye down when we are on my ship.”

She went completely still, and then she screamed.

Alastair dumped her onto the ground. “For the love of Brigid, did ye have to yell into my ear?”

Fiona rubbed at her bottom and then stood. “You beast,” she spat out at him. Jumping onto a nearby boulder, she looked directly into his eyes. “Don’t you ever touch me like that again.”

Alastair yanked her to his chest by her arms, his face mere inches from hers. “And what are ye going to do?” He watched as her eyes widened in alarm. Blue eyes that reminded him of the sky on warm summer days. Then his gaze traveled down to her lips, red as berries.

Instantly, his beast roared to life. Claim one kiss, Alastair. 

AUTHOR Bio and Links:

I am a constant daydreamer and have been told quite often to remove my head from the clouds. Yet, this is where I find the magic to write my stories. Not only do I love to weave a good tale, but I have a voracious appetite for reading. I worked for Borders Books for almost fourteen years. Imagine my delight to be surrounded by so many books, talking to others about them, and getting paid.

Pure bliss!

I have traveled to England, Scotland, Ireland, and France. There are those who know me well when I say, “My heart is in the Highlands.” I believe I have left it there or maybe in Ireland.

When not writing, I enjoy playing in my garden—another place where magic grows. Of course, there is time spent with my family. They are the ones that keep me grounded.

I love to hear from my readers. You can contact me at: http://www.marymorganauthor.com

  1. If you were a super hero, what would your name be? What costume would you wear?

    1. A very interesting question, Mai. I lean towards being an animal, but a super hero? Hmm...Fae Maryrose would be my name, and my gown would be the colors of the rainbow. Of course, I would be able to fly, so there would be wings, though hidden at times. I would have the power to convert anger into positive thoughts. Banish the evil with love. Thanks for the question and for stopping by. :)

    1. I loved writing Alastair and Fiona's story. I took them from the shores of Ireland to the Highlands of Scotland. Of course, there were times when they made it "verra" difficult. Half the time I didn't know where they were leading me. Thanks so much for stopping by. :)

    1. Lorrie, I have many favorites, but only a few that I've re-read. "The Lion of Ireland" by Morgan Llywelyn; "The Mists of Avalon" by Marion Zimmer Bradley; "Pride & Prejudice" by Jane Austen; and "Outlander" by Diana Gabaldon. These author are superb storytellers, in my opinion. Thanks so much for stopping by. :)

    1. Thank you, Mary. Another tidbit of bio...I've been a daydreamer living in the "clouds" for most of my life. When I was a little girl my mother would snap her fingers saying, "Earth to Mary L." :) Thanks for stopping by.
