Book Description:
As false accusations of witchcraft consume Salem Village,
eighteen-year-old Poppy Seabrooke, a true witch, is content to stay away from
the hysteria and more importantly from the relentless advances of Angus Wolfe,
a powerful warlock masquerading as Salem’s pastor.
When Poppy uses her magic to help a young boy, she is arrested.
Angus is the only person who can help her, but, in return, she must promise her
hand in marriage. In desperation, Poppy’s grandmother sends her two hundred
years into the future to hide. Poppy finds herself years from home in the
middle of a strange place called Montana where rooms light up without candles
or sorcery, steam puffing dragons roar across fields on tracks, and cows sprout
horns as long as tree trunks. And while Poppy hides from the man who turns her
heart cold as ice, she discovers the man who can set it on fire.
Cade Tanner has always lived fast and hard, and he prefers it that
way. The last thing he needs is a girl to distract him from running the cattle
ranch his father left him. But Poppy, the sweetly innocent beauty with the soft
smile and dark eyes, who seemingly fell from the sky, is tough to ignore. But
Cade soon finds that falling for Poppy comes with a dangerous price.
Short Excerpt
As
I trotted back toward the inner pastures, feminine laughter drifted over the
tops of the tall grass. Jackson’s laughter followed, and I trotted River in
that direction. Libby’s plan had not been thwarted by my refusal. Jackson
leaned his forearm on the pommel of his saddle as he watched Poppy ride circles
on our old gelding. I rode up next to him.
Her
long hair had escaped the pins holding it, and it shimmered like gold in the
sharp afternoon sunlight. Her sweet bottom was still tucked neatly in a pair of
my old denims, and it popped up and down on the seat of the saddle in perfect
rhythm with her soft cries of joy.
Jackson
cupped his hand around his mouth. “Sit back, Poppy. You’re leaning too far
forward.” He dropped his hand.
She
swept a long strand of hair off her face and sat back.
“Now
that is a picture,” Jackson said.
My
pulse sped up just watching her trot clumsy circles around the pasture. “What
that is, Jacks, is a whole lot of trouble wrapped in the prettiest package I’ve
ever seen.”
Jackson’s
eyes were wide. “What’s this? Cade Tanner’s confidence finally shattered by a
girl? I’ll admit she’s not like any other girl we’ve met, but I’m still
surprised.”
It
took all my will to look away from her. I reined River around. “Confidence
hasn’t got anything to do with it. I just know trouble when I’m looking at it.”
River’s hooves plodded over the drought hardened ground. I wasn’t fifty feet
from Jackson when Poppy screamed. I spun River around so fast, the horse nearly
fell back on its haunches. Poppy had slipped to the side of the saddle but had
righted herself just as I reached her.
Her
smile greeted me, and it was the kind of smile that could make a guy forget his
own name. “Red went one way and I went the other,” she said with a laugh. She
reached forward and patted the horse’s thick neck. “He slowed down as soon as
he knew I was off balance.” Her cinnamon brown eyes lifted and she looked at
me. “Forgive me if I startled you. I shouldn’t have screamed like that.”
“You
didn’t startle me.” Of course my heartbeat had a whole different interpretation
of it. Jackson rode up next to us. He grinned smugly at me. “Well, Cade, you
always were one to ride toward trouble instead of away from it.”
