About this ebook
Jane Austen’s Regency flavored with the mystique of Camelot;
Miss Elizabeth Bennet’s romance complicated by mystery;
Mr. Darcy’s manners balanced by Merlin’s magic;
in an alternate reality where not everything is as it appears.
Twist legend into truth . . . . . . Merlin’s magic threatens to unleash environmental disaster.
Adrian Hughes would love to turn tail and sail back to the Antipodes. He can’t. He promised to act as groomsman at a wedding. It sounds straightforward, stand tall at the altar while a couple says their vows, but the groom blurted out that he likes the sister better. The bride heard.
Tit for tat. The bride likes Adrian better than the groom. Adrian likes the bride. Wonder who the sister favors?
If only they could...
They can’t. Magic is playing havoc with the atmosphere. In other words, a rogue magician is making trouble. It is Adrian’s quest to ferret out that person. The signs point to the magical one being the bride or one of her sisters.
So he can’t flee to the Antipodes. He can’t avoid serving as groomsman at the wedding. He can’t even evade the newlyweds. Adrian must discover which sister is the rogue and he must neutralize the magic before disaster strikes. With magic holes forming in the most unexpected places, Adrian’s quest throws him into the deepest pit of all, the void of a loveless marriage.
Ann Tracy Marr
Ann Tracy Marr is a wife, mother, former secretary, executive assistant and computer consultant. She started writing in school, where teachers praised her talent. Being as stubborn as any member of her family, she ignored them. But when her kids were in high school and the threat of college tuition became a promise for the future, Marr plopped herself in front of her computer and opened Microsoft Word. Since romance novels were a large section of the publishing world, she started there. Still being as stubborn as any member of her family, she scorned writing to formula. She took the basic plots of Regency romances and turned them on their heads. Arranged marriages always resulted in love? Nonsense. Gentlemen always treated ladies gently? Pooh on that idea. Thus, four fantasy romance novels were born. Tuition bills came and went. (They moved in more than they went away, of course.) Next Marr turned to a family story that intrigued. How did her great-great-grandmother's two brothers end up in prison? That blot on the system of justice produced Van Buren's Scandal, a thoroughly researched history of a year in Van Buren County, Michigan for two brothers named Barker. When someone mentioned the Bell Witch haunting to Marr, she knew immediately the author of that period was a demon. She dug deep in her imagination (or was she inspired by the Almighty or Lucifer's legions?) and psychology classes to figure out what the demon was up to and why. Imagine this dumpy, grey haired member of the middle class sitting in the local diner, asking everyone for their favorite and most exotic swear words. That is how this book came to be written. On top of all that, Marr has researched and published several genealogy books of no interest to anyone other than her family and other genealogists. Tucked in there somewhere is the diary she kept while undergoing treatment for breast cancer. If you like any or all of the books she has written, Marr would deeply appreciate reviews. Those reviews really help sell books, and tuition bills graduated into medical bills, etc.
