This time-travel anthology contains two short stories originally published by Constable & Robinson, London, G.B. in Mammoth Romance books in 2010. They feature Highlanders, time-travel, Scottish history and romance. MacDuff’s Secret The last thing sixth grade teacher Sarah Colbert expected when touring Edinburgh with her five rambunctious students was to become a victim of a terrorist bomb and to be thrown back in time to the eleventh century. Battle-scarred Shamus MacDuff has been a recluse by choice for the last decade. Embittered by war, he enjoys his solitude and is shocked to find he has guests, six strangers who claim to be from another time. Her MacKinnon Maggie MacKinnon fell in love with and married a charismatic man who’s become obsessed with his family legend and the signet ring he inherited. Following an accident he shouldn’t have survived, she prays he’s learned his lesson and will turn his life around. Laird Alex MacKinnon’s essence has remained with the signet ring his heirs inherit. When he awakens in a modern hospital in the twenty-first century, he discovers he’s been given a chance at love and to change the future and legacy.
Award winning author Sandy Blair has slept in castles, knelt in cathedrals where kings and queens have been crowned, dined with peerage, floated along Venetian canals, explored the great pyramids, misplaced her husband in an Egyptian ruin (she continues to deny being the one lost,) and fallen (gracefully) off a cruise ship.
Sandy loves writing about the past. "I find it easier to suspend my own disbelief when thoroughly immersed in a time when nobody worried about political correctness; when men were wonderfully alpha and had no idea they even had a feminine side, much less worried about getting in touch with it." She often adds a touch of the paranormal to her tales believing the very possibility expands the imagination, which in turn gives her latitude with humor.
Her second release, A ROGUE IN A KILT, received Romantic Times Magazine’s 4 ½ star Top Pick rating and was a National Readers Choice Awards finalist. Her third, The Accidental Duchess in the anthology HOW TO MARRY A DUKE, won the 2006 Golden Quill Award for Best Novella. Her books are now available in four languages and can be found in a dozen countries.
When not writing, Sandy dabbles with watercolors, is a charity fundraiser, and loves to entertain family and friends at home. She claims the secret to hosting a successful dinner party is setting a pretty table and serving lots of wine before the meal.
DR H liked the two short stories _ It is difficult to perceive the treatment of modern mainladyy _ Maggie was treated terribly for five years ; then cones the an Kent A.J. and he was a hard working Saint !
