Lake of Destiny
by Martina Boone
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Contemporary Romance (Sweet)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Helping
her aunt organize a Beltane Festival in a picturesque Highland village seems
like the perfect escape from Anna’s second broken engagement and the meltdown
that wrecked her legal career. But to succeed, she’ll need to wrangle
kilt-wearing villagers, dangerous sheep, a disaster of a dog, and the reclusive
laird who refuses to open his property to the public for the ancient tradition
of “Sighting.”
For
centuries, Loch Fàil in Balwhither has been known to locals as a ‘thin’ place,
one where the veil between worlds peels back on Beltane morning to reveal the
face of a person's one true love. The tradition could draw tourists by the
busload, but that’s exactly what Connal MacGregor fears will expose the two
secrets he's been desperate to keep hidden.

EXCERPT ONE:
He’d
stopped knocking by the time the glass slid down, but his fist still hovered in
the air. Jaw slack, he gaped at her, blue eyes narrowed beneath wiry dark hair,
as if she’d shocked him.
Anna
felt just as stunned. With the sunset behind him, he shimmered, all gold and
gleaming around the edges like a hopeful memory. The impression vanished the
moment she blinked, but still he seemed familiar. So familiar that she knew his
identity had to be tucked away in some dusty corner of her brain. Ah, there.
The actor. The one her sister Katharine had dreamed of co-starring with
someday—before he’d disappeared.
“You’re
Gregor Mark,” she said, barely managing to keep the surprised squeak from her
voice.
“The
hell I am,” he bellowed in an accent decidedly more Scottish than Gregor Mark’s
cut-glass British accent, “and what do you think you’re doing, driving like an
idiot on this road? Or off the road, to be exact. I have my daughter in the
car. You could have killed us both.”
Anna
winced, both at the tone of his voice and at her own stupidity. “I’m sorry. It
was the sheep—”
“The
bloody sheep are part of the reason it’s daft to drive that fast through here.”
Daft? Hold on. Anna’s
eyes slitted. She’d had enough of people telling her she was doing things wrong
of late. Didn’t anyone think she knew when she was in trouble?
