Blurb:
Arabella Angarrick is
heartbroken. Exiled from her beloved Cornwall, she must come to terms with life
on the Canadian prairies and her arranged marriage to D’Arcy Rowan. She
struggles to reconcile herself to life on a remote ranch with a man she barely
knows. He knows he’s getting a two for one deal and Bella is thankful he is
happy to welcome her unborn child into his home. D’Arcy is a kind man, but try
as she might, Bella just can’t bring herself to love him. Her heart still
yearns for Vear Du, the father of her baby. Will she ever stop dreaming of the
selkie?
Excerpt:
Arabella Angarrick leaned on the ship’s rail
gazing at the spot on the horizon where the tip of Cornwall was lost from sight
hours ago. She searched for the strains of the selkie’s song under the hiss of
the sea against the ship, the rumble of engines, and the wind whining in the
superstructure. Common sense told her she had far outdistanced the pod of
selkies who gathered to wish her farewell, but she was reluctant to give up the
tenuous grip on her homeland.
“Oh, Vear,” she whispered. “How am I going to live
without you?” Her hands dropped to caress the still flat stomach beneath her
coat. “I never had the chance to tell you about the baby. Maybe that’s for the
best…” Her voice was lost in the wind and tears ran cold down her cheeks. The
deck pitched underfoot forcing Arabella to clutch the rail.
