Bell Bridge Books Romance, Romance Time Travel Excerpt of Legend of the Mist by Vicki HinzeShe ran from the mist to the clear air near the fire and threw herself at him, planting kiss upon kiss to his jaw, his cheeks, his eyes, his neck. "Oh, Jamie. Jamie." He lifted her to him. "Ye wear my colors," he said. She laughed deeper.
