REMEMBERING ASHBY is a
tale of love and passion that began as the backstory for the upcoming novel
THE FORGOTTEN. As with all stories, it took on a life of its own.
Melanie and Adam are very dear to my heart and their love story is one of sweet
romance, rich history and tender passion. Today, I want to share this romance
with someone you love. You may also enjoy the free short story that follows it
and leads to the sequel. Discover Forget to Remember on my website.
Peace among the clans has been nonexistent for the past centuries. But now that
clan Lairds have decided to summon the God-touched people from their magical
Isle to perform the rituals of Beltane to bless the peace talks between the
clans, peace is within reach.
Melanie is honored to be chosen as one of six maidens to represent the Goddess
at this important event. She is meant to be a vessel for the power of the
Goddess while forgetting the failures of humanity during the festival. She knows
should be concentrating on her part as a Maiden of the Hunt, yet she cannot
banish the handsome Scot from her mind. Running in the Hunt is as sacred as the
Goddess herself, and should her desires be known, there could be dire
consequences for her and the clansman. However, she can’t find the will to deny
his pull.
The mists of the Black Mountains enhance the excitement of their forbidden love
while providing an escape from the Islanders encampment. Can they give in to
their desires at the expense of their destinies?
Especially once The Sorcerer discovers their dalliance…

Coffee Time Romance REVIEW
Heather Long creates memorable characters and a stunning storyline in
Remembering Ashby. The way she depicts Melanie, I could visualize the
expressions she bestows with each of her encounters. I could share in the
sensation that Melanie felt when told she would be transported to a dangerous
land. Adam’s struggle to capture her essence, and love her, is clearly shown in
his actions. Ms. Long paints a land not hard to envisage in the mind. I really
enjoyed the romance of Adam, and Melanie, and found it one that leaves a
lifetime commitment.

This enchanting and heartfelt story will leave you breathless. It's an eloquent
tale of two people coming to terms with their destinies. The well-written
dialect and vivid descriptions make it easy to immerse yourself in the novel.
