Declan of Clan MacCrone made a wish, an arrogant one, he admits. He wanted women to fall at his feet. The wish was granted… quite literally.
Now, wherever he goes, women faint. Trip. Collapse. It’s a spectacle that’s followed him across the Highlands and one his clan could no longer tolerate. Sent to lead a struggling village in need of a chieftain, Declan hopes to escape the worst of the curse. Instead, he meets Aura.
A woman who doesn’t swoon.
Aura is practical, sharp-minded, and far more interested in plants than men. She doesn’t have time for cursed warriors or the strange pull she feels toward the infuriatingly handsome chieftain. But when danger strikes, and rumors swirl, a marriage of convenience becomes the safest path forward, for the village and for themselves.
What begins as a logical arrangement quickly tangles into something neither expected. And as the mystery deepens—an abduction attempt, a whisper of dark magic, a past neither fully understands—Declan realizes that Aura may be the key to unraveling his curse… if he doesn’t lose her first.
Because in the Highlands, love is rarely simple, and every wish has its price.
It was her love of reading and daydreaming that started USA Today bestselling author Donna Fletcher’s writing career. Besides gobbling up books, her mom generously bought for her, she spent a good portion of her time lost in daydreams that took her on grand adventures. She met heroes and villains, and heroines that, while usually in danger, always found the strength and courage to prevail. She traveled all over the world and through time in her dreams. Some places and times fascinated her more than others and she would rush to the library (no Internet at that time) and read all she could about that particular period and place. After a while, she simply could not ignore all the adventures swirling around in her head, she had no choice but to bring them more vividly to life, and so she started writing.
Donna continues to daydream, characters popping in and out of her head wherever she goes and filling her with tales that keep her writing schedule on overload. You can learn more about her on her website. www.donnafletcher.com
