Kira: Daughter of the Moon

BLURB:
Logan McCutcheon returns to colonial Virginia
after seven years in the hands of Shawnee Indians. But was he really a captive,
as everybody thinks? He looks and fights like a warrior, and seems eager to
return to those he calls friends and family.
Kira McClure has waited for Logan all those years, passing herself off
as odd to keep suitors at bay––and anyone else from getting too close. Now that he's back, he seems to be the only
person capable of protecting her from the advances of Josiah Campbell and
accusations of witchcraft. And to defend
the settlers against a well-organized band of murderous thieves.
EXCERPT:
“My secret in exchange for yours.”
Tantalizing. He was
drawing her into his snare, but she couldn’t resist asking, “How do you know
I’ve a secret?”
“To begin with, you’re hiding in a tree. What from, a wild beast?”
“Near enough. You.”
He smiled. “Was I to
think you a large red bird, or overlook you entirely?”
Drawing her remaining shreds of dignity around her like a
mantle, she said, “This isn’t one of my best hiding places.”
“Indeed? Where are
the others?”
“That would be
telling.”
The strengthening breeze tossed the branches around them as
he considered. “You never could keep
secrets from me, Cricket. I’ll discover
them and you.”
An assertion she found both disturbing and oddly heartening.
His lips curved as if the deed were already done. “Why were you hiding? Am I so very frightening?”
“Oh––I feared you were some sort of warrior.”
The humor faded from his eyes. “I am.”

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Married
to my high school sweetheart, I live on a farm in the Shenandoah Valley of
Virginia surrounded by my children, grandbabies, and assorted animals. An avid
gardener, my love of herbs and heirloom plants figures into my work. The rich
history of Virginia, the Native Americans and the people who journeyed here
from far beyond her borders are at the heart of my inspiration. In addition to
American settings, I also write historical and time travel romances set in the
British Isles.
Historical Romance novel Kira, Daughter of the Moon is available in print and eBook from:
NookBook

Great excerpt, thank you.
