1/31/2018

 
Bonded soul to soul by ancient magic and a dragon. Will the magic that brought them together destroy them?
Picture
The Dragon Wore a Kilt 
By Holly Bargo  
Available On Amazon
In the northern reaches of Scotland rests Loch Saorach, home to an ancient legend—a dragon. The Matasan family has guarded the loch and its dragon for centuries.

Over the years Saorach has claimed humans, imbuing them with his fae magic. Connor Matasan, the arrogant Earl of Glencarol, is a recent acquisition. Like all those possessed and transformed by the dragon’s ancient magic, Connor is sith, immortal and commanding powers beyond the human norm.

Middle aged wife and mother Lila is vacationing in Scotland when Saorach chooses her to join his brood. Her transformation to an eternally young sith is painful and compounded by the loss of everything she holds dear. Waking to a new life, she is utterly dependent upon Connor and his family. Lila feels trapped and resents that the dragon has bound her to Connor, soul to soul, passion to passion: a passion Connor cannot control, a passion Lila fears.

Will the magic that brought them together destroy them?
Excerpt:

“What happened?” she asked again, her voice trembling with fear.

The woman sighed and answered, “’Tis a long story that’s not my place to tell. You’ll have to hear it from Connor, for you’re his now.”

“His? How can I be his?”

“Lass, it’s a new life you have now. I’ll leave it for Connor to explain.”

“Who is Connor?”

“Och, that I’ll answer. He’s my brother.” The woman vigorously rubbed a towel over Maggie’s stubbled scalp.

Maggie frowned. The near giant who carried her into the bathroom had not been old. She would not have put his age past thirty. She decided that the older woman obviously meant that Connor was like a brother to her.

“By the way, I’m Brenda,” the woman said by way of introduction. “We’ll have to come up with a name for you.”

“My name is Maggie, Maggie Hammersmith.”

​“Not any more it isn’t,” Brenda said cryptically.

Dragons and Scotland – I'm sure that's catnip for some readers! But where's the excerpt hook?

Oops! Thanks for the heads-up. The excerpt has been added.

I suspect that Maggie is about to explode over the loss of her husband and children. You just don't steal stuff like that away, not even if you're a dragon.

Yep, it's an issue.
