STONE OF DOUBT

By Margaret Izard

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GENRE: Paranormal Romance

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BLURB:

In the absence of doubt, only faith is found.

A human with Fae powers living like an oddball has its ups and downs until Evie MacDougall’s dream Fae boy pops back into her life after she thought another was “the one.”

One dark and devilish, the other her long-lost love. Evil forces trap her for a magic Fae stone, but which man can she trust? As a teen prophesied to be Fae king, Aodhán viewed the girl of his dreams through an Eye of Ra.

Once, he risked all to help Evie MacDougall find a magic Fae stone, only to end up imprisoned. Kept from his true love for years, he finds her at risk from an evil Fae hunting a magic stone.

Is a single vow strong enough to save true love, to save the human and Fae realms?

EXCERPT

She breathed as Aodhán wrapped his arms around her, pulling her against his muscular chest. “Welcome to Broemere Castle, my home.”

She turned as he held her in his arms. “Yer home? Ye mean the Fae realm?”

Aodhán brushed his fingers over her cheek. “Aye.” He gazed at her momentarily with a grin spread over his face. “Come, I wish to show ye around the castle before we meet the others.”

He pulled her hand, and she tugged back, stopping him. “The ball, it still calls ye?”

He nodded as he turned, and she tugged again. “Ye mentioned punishment. What for?”

He took her hand and kissed the back. “For showing ye spells I wasn’t allowed to.”

Evie stood staring at him as the edges of his eyes crinkled. She looked down, her mind rolling over memories as the past connected with the present, then his statement.

She gasped. “The Fae, they punished ye for helping me.” Her eyes connected with his. “Yer punishment was because of me. Ye didn’t leave me. They kept ye away.”

Aodhán stepped to her, his hand on her cheek. “Aye, that’s true.” He bent and brushed a kiss. Tingles like before shot to her toes, electrifying her body.

Aodhán’s whisper brushed her ear. “And I’d do it all over again.”

Pros and cons of writing Paranormal Romance

Guest Post By The Author

Pros – In paranormal, I get to create a rich world that I control and get to play with. I am given the opportunity in paranormal to write great fun characters like the Fae who can get away with much and are so fun to write. I am a romantic at heart and I love that there is always a happily ever after ending in romance. I love getting to share my take on attraction, love and romance.

Cons – In romance there is a defined ending, either happy ever after for happy for now so I must craft my stories to end that way. I like doing this but it’s a defined trait in the romance genre. Tropes in any story are so very important and trying to find new twists is a welcomed challenge.
