Set up: This takes place a few sentences later than last weeks snippet. Michaela is about to leave, but Alan isn’t letting her slip away so easily.

“Michaela?”
“Hmm?” She turned to find him right behind her. So close she could take one step and be in his
embrace. Longing spread through her veins, but she stuffed her hands into her jean pockets, hoping to keep her resolve not to become involved.
“My offer still stands. I’m takin’ the boat over to Castle Urquhart tomorrow. I would be honored if ye
would accompany me.”
*******************************************************************************
Is there a boat trip in Michaela’s future?
I have fantastic news. Echo of Time is available at Amazon for only 99 cents! It’s an Irish paranormal time travel romance. So excited!
Like always thanks so much for stopping by. I would love to know what you thought of the snippet.

A short Irish paranormal time travel romance
Kendra O’Reilly felt a connection with the Blarney Castle as if the echoes of the past could still be heard. The guide tells her a story about the Blarney Stone being the ancient Lia Fáil, one of the magical gifts from the god-like race, the Tuatha Dé Danann. To wish upon it, one will see where his or her destiny lies. Kendra wishes to find her one true love. She never thought she’d be whisked back to fifteen-century Ireland to find him.
Cian MacCarthy, the Lord of Blarney not only possesses the gift of Irish eloquence but he also has visions of the future. He’s waited for Kendra’s arrival, knowing she is his soul mate. Now all he has to do is convince her she belongs at his side.
I hope she goes along for the ride…and something tells me she will. 🙂
