Is the future predetermined? Or do our choices and actions shape the events that come to pass? Excerpt: I’ve reached the bar, so I focus on the bartender as he pours beer into glasses. “Excuse me,” I begin, but he shakes his head before I can say anything else. “Tha mi a ’fàs mì-fhoighidneach[1],” the blond guy beside me says. I fight the urge to roll my eyes. “Look,” I respond, glancing at his angry face, “I don’t know what you want, but I’m not interested; I’m just here to get directions. I need to find someone who speaks English …” The man’s face turns scarlet. “Ah am feckin’ spikin’ Sasannach![2]” A loud guffaw to our left draws both our attention. The tall man in the cloak and faded, blue-and-green kilt has left his spot by the fire to watch the exchange from a foot away. At this close distance, I’m struck by how handsome he is; he has dark hair and a strong jawline covered by an attractive goatee, but that’s not what has me staring shamelessly. His eyes are the most brilliant shade of blue I’ve ever seen – like peacock feathers on full display! I try to look away, but I’m mesmerized by his amused face. “Now, now, nae need tae take yer lack o’ practice out on the young lassie.” His gorgeous eyes momentarily flit back to mine before settling on the burly man again. [1] I’m getting impatient. [2] English Brigid MacDonald is a coffee barista with a black belt who’s been transported from 2019 to 15th-century Glasgow, one year earlier than her first adventure in The Future Bride . Time is decidedly ‘out of joint’ : Ferghus hasn’t been scarred by Tristen; Nyle hasn’t thrown his disastrous party; and Brigid hasn’t taken a life – yet. Linear reality no longer exists, but nor is this a simple time loop or case of déjà vu . As the mystery slowly unfolds, the characters must choose to work together, or against one another, to resolve their clan feuds and repair their broken hearts. Accompany Brigid on another epic adventure through the Highlands of medieval Scotland. Beware the corsets that bind; the gin that confounds; and the men who ensnare in this lighthearted, romantic comedy with slow-burn romance, karate action, and heart-pounding suspense. If you’re careful, there may even be time for The Past Love. The Past Love can be read as a stand-alone novel, but much of the humour is enhanced by reading The Future Bride first. This is the second book in a complete series. Author's Note: This is a work of romantic, historical fiction; as such, certain historical inaccuracies are present for entertainment purposes . For example, the wearing of the kilt appears much earlier than in any recorded historical records. Certain locations/castles on/near Skye were not inhabited/controlled by those families stated. Names of the author’s actual ancestors have been changed in some cases, to protect her family’s privacy. Some poems/songs presented in this story were not yet written in the period captured. Descriptions of some settings & weapons have been altered to facilitate the plot. Please enjoy the story for its intended purpose: entertainment in the rom com/romantic suspense genres. Tropes are intentional.

How to Dance With a Duke Manda Collins What's a wallflower to do when she's suddenly in need of a husband? Use all the pluck and moxie she can muster to get what she wants… Miss Cecily Hurston would much rather explore the antiquities of Egypt than the uncharted territory of marriage. But the rules of her father's exclusive academic society forbid her entrance unless she weds one of its members. To clear her ailing father's name of a scandalous rumor, Cecily needs to gain admission into the Egyptian Club—and is willing to marry any old dullard to do it. Lucas Dalton, Duke of Winterson, is anything but dull. He's a dashing and decorated war hero determined to help Cecily—even if that means looking the other way when she claims the dance card of Amelia Snow, this season's most sought-after beauty. But Lucas has a reason for wanting Cecily to join the Egyptian Club: His brother went missing during one of Lord Hurston's expeditions to Egypt. An alliance with the explorer's bluestocking daughter could bring Lucas closer to the truth about what happened…or it could lead him to a more dangerous love than either he or Cecily could have imagined….
