Thirty year old Julia Campbell, divorced, and living with
her father, works diligently to save money to put her sister
through college. Abused by an alcoholic father Julia and
Trisha finally escape after being rescued by Nicholas, Nova
Mare's security officer in Spellbound Falls, Main.
Gathering pinecones and supplies for the Nova Mare resort
Julia also works cleaning rooms and cabins for them. The
resort is owned by the Oceanus's, actually a 12th century
family of highland warriors and Kings. Nicholas is himself
an enigma, found as an infant seaside by the Oceanus King
himself in another century.
Julia's boss, Olivia Oceanus, offers her the position of
event planner. Lacking confidence, she fears she cannot
live up to the job. By now, she and Nicholas, have had
their first traumatizing kiss which later culminates into
hot sex. Julia has a tendency to "explode" from the timid
woman into a sex demon when confronted with sex. Nicholas
actively pursues Julia but she avoids him at all costs,
declaring she will never marry again. The magic surrounding
Nova Mare and the suspicious thunderbolts of lightning seem
to coincide with strange disappearances and events. Nicolas
returns from another century seriously injured from battle.
Unknown as to who is determined to kill him, the astute and
now enlightened Julia has the answer. Barely able to
comprehend her involvement with those of another century,
she finally has to admit her undying love for Nicholas and
together led by one of his century-old cats, puts her life
in danger to save him.
This is the second novel of the Spellbound Falls series
that I have read. THE HEART OF A HERO is equally
suspenseful and as exciting as the first. This is an on-
the-edge-of-your-seat tale of mystery, fantasy and
completely enchanting. I loved the characters and the
strong, handsome highland warriors. Take yourself away in
this colorful tale of mythological (and totally sexy)
heroes. THE HEART OF A HERO is another captivating story
from Janet Chapman!
New York Times bestselling author Janet Chapman
welcomes her fans back to Spellbound Falls, where no one is
immune to the magical powers of love...
Originally from the ancient mythical island of Atlantis,
Nicholas has spent the last year deep in the mountains of
Maine, serving as Director of Security for the Nova Mare and
Inglenook resorts. Fully embracing his life in the
twenty-first century, he finds himself irresistibly drawn to
a trouble-prone employee, and is determined to keep her safe.
The last thing Julia Campbell needs is a man with a hero
complex, especially one as handsome and imposing as
Nicholas. All she has to do is keep it together until her
younger sister turns eighteen, and then she can focus on her
own life. But strange things have been happening at the
resort—and it's Nicholas who keeps coming to her
rescue. When Nicholas is suddenly the one in trouble, Julia
realizes he's not quite what he seems—and that she'll
do anything to help the man who's stolen her heart...
