Here’s
another snippet from Travis—Wild Heather Book 2, my latest
release from
"What is it about ye women from the future that makes
ye faint at the sight o' me?" a deep voice questioned in Gaelic as she
opened her eyes.
She was on the ground again,
this time with one of his arms about her shoulders.
"How do you know I'm from
the future?" she whispered, staring into familiar eyes. Similar eyes had
stared out at her from the portrait. There was no hint of mischief in these
eyes though. They looked forbidding. She should have stayed unconscious.
"Ye wear the same garment
Beth wore when she departed." He touched the collar of the cloak, his brow
furrowed.
"Beth? You mean Liz?"
Groggily she pushed him away and sat up on her own. He went back onto his
haunches and stared hard at her.
"Elizabeth is the one we
speak of. Aye, that's the one. Did she send ye back here?"
"Send me..." Beth let
out a laugh. "No, believe it or not, I did it all on my own. I can't
believe this." She put a hand to her temple and pressed.
"Oh, I believe it all
right. Ye women seem to have the knack of flitting through time as a normal
woman would walk the forest."
"I..." Beth moved away
from him. His masculine scent filled her nostrils, despite the aromas of
bracken and earth. He smelled of the outdoors, sweat, and wildness. A
tantalizing combination.
Pushing the tangle of hair back,
he stood and strode away a few paces. Hands on hips, he took a few deep
breaths, then turned back. There was nothing of the mischievous rogue Liz told
her about. This man was frightening, his eyes as cold as the snow on Mount
Everest.
Beth Anderson travels
to Scotland to help her Australian friends, Liz and Andrew, renovate the
dilapidated castle he inherited from his uncle. Beth shares Liz’s passion for
all things Celtic and knows the ancient language well. Liz tells her an
unbelievable story of how she and Andrew were swept back in time to 1050, to a
hostile world, where Andrew saved the life of Travis, his ancestor, a lovable
rogue.
Beth decides to explore
the castle attics and unwittingly discovers their method of time-travel. But
the Travis she meets is a changed man, now driven by revenge and set on
annihilating all his enemies. He has too much violence and bloodshed to contend
with and has no time in his life for another woman from the future. Despite
this a great love grows, a love that must overcome many obstacles before
reaching its conclusion. In Book 1, The
Laird, we met Travis, his family, and his clansmen, in Book 2 Travis, we are
reunited with them.
