Logan
McCutcheon returns to colonial Virginia after seven years in the
hands of Shawnee Indians. But was he really a captive, as everybody
thinks? He looks and fights like a warrior, and seems eager to return
to those he calls friends and family.
Kira
McClure has waited for Logan all those years, passing herself off as
odd to keep suitors at bay––and anyone else from getting too
close. Now that he's back, he seems to be the only person capable of
protecting her from the advances of Josiah Campbell and accusations
of witchcraft. And to defend the settlers against a well-organized
band of murderous thieves.
Excerpt:
Head
tilted to one side, he appraised her with a keen eye, approval in his
gaze. “The years between us don’t seem to make such a difference
now, do they?”
A
shiver darted through her. “Not like they once did.”
He
ran his fingers lightly over her cheek. “I’ll have to make amends
for my past neglect.”
Her
chest thudded wildly. “Will you?”
“Oh,
yes.”
As
though she’d issued an invitation, Logan slid closer to her so they
were pressed thigh to thigh, nearer than she’d sat to any man. He
turned, circling an arm around her waist, and drew her into his hard
chest. His low voice a shivery whisper in her ear, he said, “This’ll
do for a start.”
Too
stunned to speak, she wondered if her galloping heart might give out
altogether. This must be a dream. He couldn’t be real. Yet he felt
wonderfully solid and smelled of the sun-warmed earth mingled with
his own appealing essence, heightening her acute awareness of him.
But he was overtaking her with the sudden fury of a gale.
She
found her tongue. “I hardly know what to think.”
He
didn’t loosen his grip. “Don’t think just yet.”

About the Author
Married
to my high school sweetheart, I live on a farm in the Shenandoah
Valley of Virginia surrounded by my children, grandbabies, and
assorted animals. An avid gardener, my love of herbs and heirloom
plants figures into my work. The rich history of Virginia, the Native
Americans and the people who journeyed here from far beyond her
borders are at the heart of my inspiration. In addition to American
settings, I also write historical and time travel romances set in the
British Isles.
