not the least of which involves sightings of a mystery man around every corner.
Is she losing her mind or does he really exist? Her search for
this grey-eyed stranger leads her to Scotland. There she meets a witch
with a secret, a vindictive English knight who is bent on revenge, and she
crosses a fog shrouded bridge into the arms of a 16th century Highlander.
Cailin MacBayne is no stranger to beautiful women, but
has always managed to stay one step ahead of commitment. That all comes
to an end when he meets Ashley. He doesn't care where this beautiful, yet
unusual lass came from, he's just happy to have found her. Ashley cannot
resist the handsome Scot and finds herself falling hopelessly in love. In
the process, a secret is revealed, a battle is waged and Ashley must ultimately
decide whether to return to her own time or give up her 21st century life to
stay with the love she has found in the past.
Author Bio
Jennae was born and raised a New England girl, just
outside of Boston, Massachusetts, where her imagination was always bigger than
she was. Her large, extended Irish and Italian families were a great source of
support, inspiration and humor. Laughter, love and food were never hard
to find in her home. Jennae grew up surrounded by nostalgic, historical
landmarks, which fed her love of history and creative writing.
She has worn many hats over the years. From owning
her own typing service and horse training/boarding facility, to operating an
embroidery/t-shirt business, her entrepreneurial spirit was strong and
thriving. Determined to do something she truly loved, her vivid imagination
took over again and she decided to follow her literary dream of writing
stories that tapped into her love of magnificent people and places.
Jennae now lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband,
where they've raised two beautiful and talented children. Along the way
they've gathered a menagerie of pets, including one dog, three cats and 4
chickens to make the family complete.

She hadn't taken more
than two steps when she heard the sound of rapid footsteps behind her. Before she could turn to look, something hit
her from behind, and she found herself falling face first onto the gravel path. Adrenaline surged through her veins as she
struggled to get the sudden weight off her back. She’d been right, there had been someone
standing by the bridge, and they had been waiting for her. Ashley screamed loudly and shouted for help,
before a hand covered her mouth. She was
able to bite it and the hand disappeared.
Ashley screamed again and managed to pull her arm out from beneath her
body. She elbowed her attacker in the
head and he rolled away, grunting in pain, giving her an opportunity to
scramble to her feet. Her attacker was
between her and the path back, with his face directed away from her. Ashley made a split second decision to head
into the fog, thinking she stood a better chance if her assailant couldn't see
her. She started to run for it, but he
grabbed her ankle and tripped her again.
"No! No! Come back here!" she heard him yell.
Ashley screamed again and suddenly
remembered she had pepper spray in her jacket pocket, if she could only reach
it. She managed to kick his hand away
and got back to her feet. She had to
fight back against this madman, and pepper spray would level the playing
field. Ashley rummaged through her
pocket and located the spray. She didn’t
get a good look at her attacker, but knew instinctively whom it was. The only person it could be; the one man who
had been turning up unexpectedly ever since she’d arrived in Glendaloch. Suddenly he was right in front of her,
grabbing at her arm and dragging her back across the bridge. Ashley could see him clearly now and her
instincts had been correct. It was
Teddy, and he had an iron grip on her arm.
She tried to stay calm and do what she’d learned in self-defense
classes, saying a silent thank you to her mother for insisting she attend them
for safety’s sake. As Teddy pulled her
towards him, she stopped resisting and flew into his chest, hitting his
shoulder. The combination of Teddy
tugging on her arm and Ashley falling against him knocked him off his
feet. Ashley had the advantage now, but
knew it was only momentary. She sprayed
him with the pepper spray and turned to run.
The only option available was to run straight into that crazy swirling
fog.
