“Mrs. Trissel masterfully blended the past and the present in order to create a lovely romance that spans centuries.” ~Long and Short Reviews
Scottish time travel romance novel Somewhere My Lass is the second story in my Somewhere in Time series, and no, you don't have to read Somewhere My Love first. Until the sequel comes out, the stories in this series adhere to a theme, not a continuation of the characters themselves. That will change, though, with Somewhere in the Highlands. Then I will say 'yes' you better read Somewhere My Lass first. My ghostly Christmas novella, Somewhere the Bells Ring, also stands alone. And it's not only a holiday read (hint, hint).
Blurb for Somewhere My Lass:
Will Mora and Neil be too late to save a love that began centuries before?
‘The MacDonald comes’ warns Mora Campbell when Neil MacKenzie finds the young Scotswoman lying unconscious at the top of his stairs after he discovers his murdered housekeeper slumped at the bottom. Mora’s claim that she’s his fiancé from 1602 and was chased to the future by clan chieftain, Red MacDonald, through ‘the door to nowhere’ seems utter nonsense. Neil thinks she’s addled from the blow to her head until his life spirals into chaos and the avenging Highlander shows up wanting blood. Mora knows the Neil of the future is truly her beloved Niall who disappeared from the past, but he must also remember. And fast.
Although Niall’s kinsmen believe he’s dead, and Mora is now destined to marry his brother, she’s convinced that if she and Neil return to the past, all will be right. The balance of the present and future are in peril if she marries another, and the Neil of the present will cease to exist. The only problem is how to get back to 1602. An ancient relic, the ultimate geek friend, and a little Celtic magic help pave the way back to the enormous challenge that awaits them. If they’re in time.~
Excerpt:
“You
are a beauty.” His words were a hoarse whisper.
The
rise and fall of her chest betrayed a deep inhalation of breath. A flicker of
reproach lit her eyes.
“I
dinna think ye took heed of me at all.”
He
winced at the well-deserved jab. “About before, I’m sorry I left you so
suddenly. But there’s no earthly way I could fail to notice you. I’d have to be
deaf, dumb, and blind and even then…”
The
tension in her face eased, and then the hurt returned. “Oh, aye? How could ye
forget all ye knew?”
He
remained as he was, threading that wealth of hair through his fingers. Again,
the rational part of him argued, “Is it possible you’re imagining you knew me
before?”
She
balked, a mutinous glint in her eyes. “Nae.”
He
slid his hand to the finely crafted silver chain at her throat and coaxed the
coverlets further down.
A
slight gasp escaped her lips. He muted any outward response to the thrill
running through him.
The
scooped neckline of her nightgown revealed the tops of white breasts sprinkled
with freckles. Above this heart hammering sight hung the crucifix. “I gave this
to you?” he managed to ask without betraying the swell of emotion surging
inside him.
“At
our betrothal.”~
