Fantasy | Romance Paranormal

Niall O'Connor would do anything to keep his sister safe, even put himself in debt to a maliciously ruthless druid. His only focus since being exiled from the fairy court has been to make enough money to pay off the druid for renewing the protection spells that guard his sister. It's not the most fulfilling life, but keeping his sister out of danger has been fulfilling enough for Niall. However, when Rosenwyn Tremain enters his life, Niall's priorities become ensnared in a tangle of intrigue, desire and magic.

Rose has always thought her mom was a beautiful flake who tried to drown herself in physical sensation. She has never understood why her late mother would warn her to stay out of Cornwall and not undertake a search for her father. That warning barely flickers across Rose's consciousness when she is required to enter Cornwall for her job. Upright and sensible, Rose has modeled her life as a respectable foil to the example set by her beautiful and flighty mother. All of her professionalism is for naught when she meets people who throw her whole perception of reality into turmoil. In just a few days, Rose Tremain goes from a straight-laced accountant concerned with investigating business records to the missing piece of a puzzle in a decades-old magical scandal, a scandal that may mean the death of an entire magical race.

THE MAGIC KNOT is a quick-moving romance filled with action, intrigue and memorable characters. This is a book that will have readers hoping it's the start of a series!

SUMMARY

HE’S A BIKER WITH AN ATTITUDE
What woman wouldn’t be attracted to Niall O’Connor’s soft Irish brogue and dark good looks? But Rosenwyn Tremain must find her father, and she isn’t going to let a sexy, stubborn Irishman and his motorcycle distract her. Rose’s intuition tells her he’s hiding something, a secret even the cards cannot divine. Her tarot deck always reads true, but how can one man represent both Justice and Betrayal?

SHE’S A WOMAN ON A MISSION
Magic. Niall’s body tingles with it when he finds the woman snooping in his room. Rosenwyn might believe she’s a no-nonsense accountant, but her essence whispers to him of ancient fairy magic that enslaves even as it seduces. Her heritage could endanger those he’d die to protect, but her powers and her passion, if properly awakened, might be the only thing that can save both their families, vanquish a fairy queen bent on revenge, and fulfill a prophecy that will bind their hearts together with…THE MAGIC KNOT

Excerpt

Rose Tremain sat on the chair before Niall’s desk, his Magic Knot cradled in her palm. She swayed slightly, her eyes dazed and dreamy. His nerves sparked. Need for her struck like lightning. He managed to suck in air, to ruthlessly crush the feeling until his body calmed. So, he had been right. Rose Tremain was more dangerous than she appeared. She’d been sent to enslave him by capturing his stones. If she thought he’d give in easily, she had another think coming. Silently, he walked forward and closed his hand over hers. His vision blurred at the whip of sensation. Too late, he realized his mistake in touching her. Gritting his teeth, he fought the mental pull as she sucked his very essence through their joined hands into a deep hidden part of her that whispered of ancient magic and mystery. Niall snatched up his Magic Knot and stumbled back. His breath came in short gasps as he stared at her in shock. Rose was the Cornish pisky Tristan wanted. How had she stopped them from sensing the truth about her? That deception alone proved she was up to no good. Slowly, her green eyes focused on him. Confusion set tiny creases between her delicate brows, then surprise chased them away. She slapped a hand over her mouth. “Aye, be afraid, little thief,” he whispered. “You’ll pay dearly for your deception before I’m done with you.”
