Inside the tin were two long velvet cases.

“You open them!”

His smile was puzzled since she’d been quite happy to do all the investigating before, without any reference to him.

“What is it?” His words faded as he opened the first – a dark crimson velvet box, the plush so stained with dampness it almost looked white. Most of the loft contents were still in good condition, but this looked to be one of the oldest items they’d uncovered so far.

Keira’s legs trembled. A cool shiver coursed down her spine, the anticipation making the unveiling seem almost creepy.

“That you listen is all I ask.” Riveting looks relayed his strength of purpose. “Now is a time when all Celtic tribes must work together. The Brigantes confederation is large in numbers, and we are spread over a huge area, but it is vital we join forces with other tribes to repel the Roman threat. That means we must make peace with our neighbours.”

“You seek the impossible, Lorcan.” Her answer was derisive, but she needed him to appreciate she was not fooled into believing him. “How do you expect to achieve peace? We have been enemies for time immemorial, yet you expect accord at your command.”

Excerpt:

“I do initial consultations for the expensive yachts and vessels we produce, at venues of the client’s choice, hence the need to travel so much. Ruaridh handles other negotiations here on Lanera.”

“Okay, got Gale Breakers.” Aela’s mumble came after Nairn rattled off the last details on Gale Breakers.

Another of Nairn’s companies used worldwide locations for providing extreme sporting experiences—water based ones like white water rafting, river tubing, canyoning and different kinds of bungee jumping.

“Adrenalinn Adventuring?” she asked, remembering the name from her initial searches.

Nairn nodded. An attempt to steeple his fingers failed and mild curses ensued when his arm cast slipped off the edge of the desk. His grumpy moans about his ineptitude made her smile. It was gratifying to know the guy could laugh at himself, and loosen up a bit, though Nairn Malcolm laughing at himself was just too unsettling.

“I’m impressed, Miss Cameron. How did you know that?”

Her answer was nonchalant. “A little internet research before coming to Lanera yesterday. Your companies have nice names, and sell exciting merchandise.”

Nairn’s tight smile acknowledged his appreciation of her compliment as she continued to jot.

Take Me Now

 

Nancy Jardine
Nairn Malcolm’s looking for the impossible. He needs a highly skilled, enterprising aide who’ll be at his beck and call 24/7. No ordinary Jane Doe. He doesn’t expect the only interview candidate who drops in at his Scottish castle to be so competent…or so stunning.

Aela Cameron’s got the perfect mix of talents to satisfy Nairn’s needs, and more. She loves his jobs, adores his castle, and finds his frenetic lifestyle energising. She’s only looking for temporary: not to fall in love.

 

Can Nairn convince Aela she’s tailor-made for him in every way…and not a passing fancy?

Excerpt:

His mouth was even closer than before. But instead of taking her lips his chuckle puffed on them.

“I don’t have a wife, and I sure as hell hadn’t been planning on having one anytime soon.”

Rhia’s lids fluttered. “So you can’t inherit right now? But you could later. If…” Her voice faltered as though it was excruciating to utter the words. “You…er, got married?”

“Bang on,” Luke chuckled.
