To Have and to Hold

Elisabeth Douglas, a modern woman, is suddenly pulled back into 1515 Scotland by an ancestral ghost. She uses her skills she learned in medical school and quickly gains renown as a great healer. When Devan Murray wrongfully blames Elisabeth for his sister's death, Elisabeth finds herself being accused of witchcraft. Original.

"She was like a flower grown in a walled garden. A perfect lady, Annabella Stewart had had every rebellious impulse carefully cultivated out of her. That is, until she met Ross Mackinnon, wild and free as the wind, blowing a warm and tempting breeze, stirring soft petals to swift desire. Betrothed against her will to a man she despised, Annabella was haunted by the hurricane force of the blue-eyed Texan with the heart-thundering grin who had come to Scotland to claim his ancestral home. He had a far-flung reputation for hell-raising and heartbreaking. Dazzled by the sheltered young girl with the face of an angel and the body of a dance-hall queen, Ross boldly defied the harsh traditions of the Highlands when he openly declared his love for a woman already spoken for. But life was different in this land of mists and mysteries than on the open prairies ... and Ross would have to confront the wrath of the clans before he could possess this mysterious creature who alone enslaved his will and enflamed his heart."--BOOK COVER.

Napoleon has fallen and the Austrian Empire sweeps the continent. Dashing revolutionaries, traitors and spies lurk in every quarter in the turbulent Italy of the 1820s. Italian patriot Angelo Bartolini is a man of many faces: a devoted son and brother, a noble friend and a stalwart nationalist. As a member of the Carbonari, a secret society dedicated to freeing Italy from Austrian rule, Angelo is a wanted man. But as with all great men, Angelo has a tender side, and his spirit awakens the passion of the brilliant but shy English painter, Beatrice Fairweather, who now makes her home in the Tuscan countryside. The Italian is a compelling story of two people who fall in love at the wrong time for all the right reasons. It is a haunting tale of families and war, of missed opportunities, betrayal, tragedy and of a love that knows no end.
