Let
me catch you up. Deidre and Lachlann are leaving a Texas Renaissance
Festival. The experience brings up traumatic memories for Lachlann he cannot
explain to Deidre who is seeking answers. So… will he reveal the to her?

Excerpt 9

Sighing, she leaned back against her car.

“I’m no expert,” she said softly. “I don’t have
a lot of experience or success to draw from. But I can tell you what I’ve
observed in my studies.”

Moving beside her, he leaned back and crossed
his arms.

“Go on.”

“It seems that all through the centuries, since
the very beginning, the universal desire, what people live for…” She paused.
“It sounds cliché, but…”

He waited.

Tremors
Anastasia Abbound

In the infinite vastness
of time – past, present, future, past – love would prevail.

A Norse farmer crashes into
this century from fourteenth-century Scotland. How did it happen? Why did he
escape the plague when the rest of his family died? He should have died with
them.

Three years later, Lachlann is
no closer to the truth. His body has healed. He has a job and a place to lay
his head at night. He has even learned a little modern English. If he could
just figure out how to go back, he might be able to save his family, save his
son. But he still can’t read, is still tormented by throbbing headaches and
nightmares. Maybe he died after all. Maybe he’s in hell.

But would there be an angel in
hell?

Deidre became a medieval
history professor because of a treasured family heirloom, the medieval drawing
of a farmer that she loved since childhood. Too bad she couldn’t have married
him instead of the lying, vicious cheat who had almost ruined her life. Almost.

With a new life in a new city,
she has moved forward. She doesn’t need anyone, especially a man. But she can’t
seem to ignore her new neighbor, a gorgeous giant with a strange accent,
haunted eyes, and a shocking resemblance to her medieval ploughman.

How can she erase the tormented
look in his eyes? If only he would confide in her. 

But is she prepared to do the same? To explain
how she lost everything – her job, her family, her self-respect – because of
her own, poor choices?

And why does she have the
feeling that she could lose it all again?
