THE LEGACY OF BUCHANAN'S CROSSING
BY
RHEA RHODAN
BLURB:
What
price will destiny demand?
Warding
the Crossing has always been Cayden Sinclair’s destiny. With her beloved Gran
growing weaker, it’s time the little witch took her place. Juggling substantial
curves for her frame and an inconvenient inability to control her power has
always been a serious challenge. But not until discovering her fated Keeper is
the extremely hot, tragically clean-cut insomniac who’s ignored her for months,
does she truly fear failing her legacy.
Now
that he’s finally on the road to the top with an offer from a big developer,
Clint MacAllen can’t allow his struggling construction company to be threatened
by a vicious nightmare, or his inexplicable attraction to a goth clerk working
the graveyard shift at HandiMart—no matter how potent they are.
J.
Milton Developments has its own agenda for Buchanan’s Crossing, and they’ll
spill blood to get it.
EXCERPT:
“I
found the Keeper.” Cayden squeezed the ring in her pocket. How had Gran known
she was cursing him when she’d not spoken a word of it aloud? The only sound in
the room was Rob Roy’s bent tail twitching against the windowpane while he
watched a squirrel rummaging in the garden.
Gran
looked as if she were waiting for more. Finally, she said, “Why, that’s
wonderful! I don’t mind telling you I was becoming a mite concerned.”
Cayden
tried not to shriek. “No, it’s not wonderful at all. It could hardly be worse.
He’s been coming into the HandiMart at least twice a week for over a year. He
never even noticed me until this morning.”
“You’ve
noticed him, then?”
“Well,
ye-ah. A woman would have to be dead not to notice Clint MacAllen.”
“Fine
to your eyes and a good Scottish name to boot. I don’t see what you’re on
about.”
“You’re
not listening. Men like him don’t look twice at women like me. He didn’t listen
to my advice about the stupid anchovies. He couldn’t even make himself take my
hand. How can I possibly get him to—”
“Is
he wearing the ring?”
Cayden
shook her head. “He gave it back.”
“Gave
it back? I can’t believe the Crossing would choose an idjit for a Keeper.” Gran
sat up in her chair, then settled back in with a finger on her bottom lip.
“He’s touched it, though. That’ll help. The magic won’t leave him be. How did
you manage it if he didn’t notice you? I cannot imagine any man missing the
sight of you.”
AUTHOR BIO
Rhea
Rhodan resides in Minnetonka, Minnesota and has been telling herself stories
since long before she could write. She attended the University of Minnesota
with a focus on Journalism, then Brown Institute for Broadcast Journalism.
After many adventures, misadventures, and a couple of short marriages, she
found the love of her life in Regensburg, Germany, and has been living happily
ever after since.
She
journaled those adventures extensively (some might say rabidly) beginning in
middle school, but didn't combine her writing and story-telling until several
years ago, when one of the stories grabbed her by the throat and shook her like
a rag doll until she gave in and wrote it. Having tasted freedom, her muse
refuses to return to the confines of her head, and has successfully turned the
tables, keeping her at the keyboard to appease it.
Her
stories always had a twist of magic or a touch of the paranormal. Why the romance?
Because she believes in happy endings, and helping people imagine them helps
them create the magic to find their own.
She
welcomes feedback and fan mail :>). You can join her on Facebook and/or
Goodreads, too. Rhea is always happy to meet new friends.

You're very welcome, Rita!
DeleteI was just wondering if either of your books are related or have cross-over characters?
ReplyDeletekareninnc at gmail dot com
My Work In Progress has characters from Finding Grace, but the two out now aren't related. The Legacy of Buchanan's Crossing is more contemporary romance/ with a twist of magic, while Finding Grace is more romantic suspense with a touch of paranormal.
Deletelooks good. thanks for the contest
