My Darling Druid

Garland of Druids #2

by Jean Hart Stewart

Dr. Alec Stratton, a cold disciplinarian, can't believe one of his nurses is bringing her Druid medicines into his hospital. Vivie Field, Druid daughter of Lord Lance and Morgan Dellafield, shortened her name to avoid favoritism. She's the granddaughter of the ducal couple supporting Dr. Stratton's children's wing.

Alec refuses to believe in her Druid powers but can't overcome his desire for her Celtic beauty. When the sexual attraction between them grows, he warns her off. He confesses he wants a rich society wife to help him establish a wealthy practice. But when Alec discovers he's rejected a rich and aristocratic Vivie he reacts with horror, blaming her for not confiding the truth.

Vivie opens a clinic offering both Druid and conventional medicine, with her talents devoted to her patients. Another doctor assists her there and falls in love with her. Then Vivie's life is threatened.

About the author

Jean feels she’s very much a Californian although she was born in Ohio. California has been home for a good many years. Life changed drastically for her when she was six and her father died incredibly from an errant golf ball. A dishonest insurance agent forced her sheltered mother to seek work, and she became a teacher. Her hours required Jean to be alone in the house in the afternoon, and since she was forbidden to leave till her mother got home, she became an avid reader. The local library supplied most of the books and she developed early her two of main interests, Jane Austen and King Arthur.

Reading is still one of her favorite activities, although she sometimes has to push it aside to make room for her enduring love of writing. Her journalism degree was used infrequently until recently. Marriage and raising two children pleasantly got in the way. After twenty years of being a real estate broker and with the kids raised she finally could devote her time to writing, her first love.

Jean's enchantment with the lore and legends of Druids and, therefore, delving into their history led to fascinating research that inspired her popular Garland of Druids Series for Cerridwen Press. She's now enjoying writing stories filled with magic and romance for her Songs of the Mages Series, also for Cerridwen Press.

Few things in her life have been so satisfying, especially when all her books have a happy ending. Wonderful to make happen. It only gets more interesting when a secondary character demands his very own book. Who would want to deny him? Not Jean!
