Can he forget the past and embrace the future?
He’s the beast of Lomarcan
Castle. Tortured, angry, and bound and determined not to
allow Vivian Stuart to invade his lair. Lord Galen Maclean refuses to be
endeared to the lovely woman who has landed on his island looking to study
alchemy. The island possesses secrets, secrets too horrid to share with the
gentle woman. However, her beguiling nature brings light to the darkness of the
castle and the few quirky inhabitants and edges into his heart.
Can she tame the beast within him to gain his love?
She was stranded on a remote island, her father dead and
dishonored by her betrothed. Still, the lovely Vivian Stuart wears her heart on
her sleeve and strives to redeem Lord Maclean. She knows his heart is good and
the castle can be filled with love. Through science she learns more about the
troubled lord and slowly but surely, the torture lord's icy heart begins to
thaw as Vivian shares the magical healing power of love.

EXCERPT
He scowled at her. “You want fresh air, here it is.” He seemed pleased with
himself, as a ghost of a smile turned his lips upward. When the smile reached
his startling blue eyes, then she’d believe him.
“’Tis not fresh air alone, m’laird. I want to leave. I want to go home.” I want
my father back and all the security that he could offer. She waved her hand
toward the see. “The water is calm.”
Ignoring the hitch in her voice, Vivian tried to maintain eye contact with her
warden. The rigid line of his shoulders and the stiffness of his back gave
little indication that he’d heard her or would relent.
He gave a seemingly careless shrug of his shoulders. “You can’t
leave.”
Standing, she walked as close to him as she felt was safe. “And you’ll be
giving me good reason?”
Raking a hand through his hair, he released his breath. A white
plume billowed from his broad mouth. The set of his jaw read threatening,
sinking her expectations as the soaring walls of the courtyard began to close
in, making her want to run from the potentially serene
haven.
He pointed toward the cliffs with a shaking finger, his voice a
low rumble scratching over the distant thunder of the waves. “Have you not seen
the current? A boat would be swallowed with a wee thrashing.” He reached for
her and grasped her arms, holding them to her sides, his gaze probing hers.
“You may not go near the water. Too many have died. I can’t allow you to be
next.”

About the
Author
I'm a mom, wife, and writer just living life to the fullest. A
Michigan native, I've moved from one Rochester to another Rochester to marry the love of my life. Life is
exciting, exhausting, chaotic and I wouldn't have it any other way. I currently
work in education and love integrating technology into learning. In
my writing world, I enjoy researching, trying to find historical facts to weave
into my writing. Historicals are my first love, but I have started writing
Young Adult novels. Writers are often told write what you know and since I work
in education and have three children, I have plenty of experiences to add to my
writing.
