Charmed by His Love

In this heartwarming sequel to Spellbound Falls, beautiful Peg Thompson, a young widow and mother of four mischievous children, is finding it increasingly difficult to withstand the attentions of Duncan MacKeage, a handsome, strong, and friendly newcomer to Spellbound Falls. Working daily on Peg’s property, which became prime oceanfront land after a miraculous earthquake, Duncan is intrigued by her strong will and loving heart, and is surprised to be rebuffed. When he learns that she believes she was the cause of her husband’s death and is fated to be a curse to any future husband, the charmed time-traveler knows he must prove to Peg that his strength is greater than her fears, which means getting her to join him on a critical magical mission that will test both their resolve and their love. Despite a few too many clichés, readers will enjoy the enchanting town and characters. Agent: Grace Morgan, Grace Morgan Literary Agency. (June)
