I've been given my release date to my second book in my highlander time travel trilogy.
September 3rd, 2010. Save the date, folks. This one is as yummy as the cover.
Here is my official blurb and excerpt:
Myra, a medieval virgin druidess, flees five hundred years into the future to escape death at the hands of a cursed witch and lands in the arms of a handsome but cynical twenty-first century cop.
Officer Todd Blakely knows Myra is hiding something , but can't resist her innocent charms. Destiny throws them both into a world of intrigue and mysticism. Can Todd be the true white knight she needs? Or will magic and the winds of time tear them apart?

Excerpt: “I want you,” he whispered in her hair,
not willing to break their contact.
She stiffened when his words registered. “I
don’t—”
“You want the same thing, Myra. Don’t try and
deny it.”
“I don’t know what I want. I’ve not ever...” She
didn’t finish her sentence.
“Not ever what?”
“No one has ever kissed me the way you do. Let
alone anything more.”
A virgin? Was that even possible? “You mean
you’ve never...?”
“Never.” She lowered her head and removed her
hands from his shoulders.
“Hey.” He caught her gaze. “It’s nothing to be
embarrassed about.” He kissed her again, briefly,
then placed a protective arm over her shoulders and
walked her home. “So are the men in Scotland
blind?”
She laughed. “Nay.”
“What then?”
“My father is very protective.”
“Does your father know you’re here?”
“Much to his dismay, but we had no choice.”
Interesting, a protective father who sent his
daughter away to a different country without any
money. Something wasn’t lining up.
They were within a block of his home when
Myra stiffened, and all color washed from her face.
She stopped and spun in a slow circle.
“What is it?”
“Someone is watching us.”
“Some of the neighbors are busybodies.”
“No, Todd. The one who watches wants more
than to gossip.”
Now the hair on his neck stood on end.
