During his daily labor of building a
wilderness trail for Nova Mare Resort in Spellbound Falls,
Maine, Alec MacKeage doesn't bargain for finding and
rescuing a beautiful woman being attacked by kidnappers.
Alec agrees to protect Jane Smith for a week against her
kidnappers. It's soon apparent to Alec that she is no
ordinary woman as he struggles to keep his distance from
the enchanting woman also being protected by her wolf,
Kitty.
As the mystery unwinds it is soon revealed to Alec that
he is hiding out with Carolina Oceanus whose father is a
12th century highland warrior and King of Druids. The
sassy "Jane" is hiding as she has no intent to choose a
husband from the six ancient men her father has brought to
this century. Competition between the men begins to work
on Alec's staunch idea of staying single when his jealousy
supersedes all else. Where the "Princess" is concerned,
Alec desperately desires her and refuses for anyone else to
have Jane even though marriage and commitment is out of the
question for him. Jane sees only her brave captor and
refuses to bend to her father's wishes. A showdown during
the opening celebration at the resort pits Alec against the
ancients and all the magic as he eliminates the opposition
one by one. Alec, known as "the Celt", has a background
not unlike James Bond. Perhaps he is the only one the King
trusts with his beloved daughter's life. Now only to
convince the hard headed Celt.
Courting Carolina is full of excitement and suspense
throughout the story, as well as a feeling of
tenderness complete with tons of amusement from the
sassy and quirky little princess. Not knowing that the one
she pursues is not she thinks he is. I was completely
captivated by this tale. COURTING CAROLINA has surprising
curves
when you least expect them. This is a definite read for
anyone enjoying a little enchantment. Janet Chapman is an
expert when it comes to weaving an exciting and colorful
tale combining the mythological past with the present.
While building a wilderness trail for a new five-star
resort in Spellbound Falls, underachieving playboy Alec
MacKeage rescues a beautiful woman who is being chased by
kidnappers and agrees to let her hide out with him for a
few days. But when those days stretch past a week, Alec
finds himself fighting his attraction to the mysterious
Jane Smith—despite knowing the woman isn’t who she claims
to be. Then again, neither is he…
On the run from her own life, Jane is really Carolina
Oceanus—and she’ll do anything to avoid the six ancient-
minded men her father has brought to Maine to vie for her
hand in marriage. But as the maddening competition heats
up, Carolina realizes that she’ll have to come clean to
Alec, the seductive loner who’s managed to capture her
heart…
