Tagline: Will
a prophecy keep a lonely woman from accepting the promise of adventure?
Blurb: Aleen MacRae blames the lure of the sea for breaking apart first her family then her engagement. When her interest is caught by a man she sees both in person and in a dream, she resists—afraid to believe in her aunt’s prediction that her future is tied to the sea.

Braden
Williams is on the hunt for treasure buried centuries earlier by Rhode Island
pirates. His search brings him to the property where Aleen lives. Collaboration
on genealogy research draws them closer, and Braden steers her toward his true
passion--sailing.
Attending a
party with Braden’s family lets her glimpse what she’s been missing. An
unexpected discovery before her date with Braden at the Halloween Midnight
Organ Recital forces a decision. Will Aleen play things safe or accept what
this free-spirited man offers?
Excerpt
Ah,
the story of her life—practically invisible. The reminder his first sighting
had been of her bikini-clad backside made her blush. Still didn’t change the
facts. Aleen squared her shoulders. “I remember, but the Manor grounds are
still closed.” Should she be nervous about being alone with this stranger,
especially one who ignored posted rules?
“Sorry for the intrusion. Let me start over.” Smiling, he
approached and extended his right hand. “My name’s Braden Williams.”
Aleen
bit her lower lip, but accepted his hand. “Pleased to meet you. I’m Aleen
MacRae.” At the moment their hands clasped, she felt warmth flooding her
fingers. With a jerk, she released her grip, tingling sensations running along
her skin. Immediately, the scent of fresh air and summer breezes wafted her
way. Definitely a man of the sea. Just where I foretold your future lies.
Whispers of her great-aunt Zsofika’s prophecy trickled through Aleen’s
thoughts. At the memory, her cheeks flamed with heat.
“Wow.” Frowning, Braden flexed his hand and narrowed his
gaze then dropped it to his flexing fingers. “That was bizarre.”
“Static electricity, from all that wind yesterday.” A
reasonable explanation. In the back of her mind, Aleen could hear Zsofika
scoff, “Static schmatic. A connection like that is destiny.”
“Well…” His gaze searched her face. “Aleen—hey, that’s
pretty, like the direction alee.” A wide smile exposed even teeth.
Her
own smile dimmed. Like I’ve never heard that before. “Thanks.” This guy
was not charming his way around the rules. “Sorry, but you’ll need to come back
when the gardens are open for visitors. That’s Wednesdays through—”
“Yeah, I read the sign.” He gave a dismissive wave then
turned to gaze back at the main house. “But I just needed five minutes to check
out some dimensions and the lot layout.”
“So, you woke up this morning and just
decided to start out your week by trespassing?”
