Have you ever been to a place and felt like you’ve been there before? Eryn Sterling has no memory of her first seventeen years. and this happened to her. Imagine her confusion when she arrives in Enchantment, Pennsylvania only to see visions of a past time she knows nothing about. Feel her surprise when she meets the inn’s owner, only to find he has the eyes she has dreamed of for twenty years. Follow her as, Uriah Prescot, her blond beguiler, tries to convince her she loved him a century ago...
With the beautiful Allegheny Mountains as a back drop, you can experience her doubt as she meets an old man who claims to know her future... and her past. Walk, and sometimes run with her, as best friends lend a shoulder, and enemies deceive and torment her. Realize her joy when she comes to terms with it, hoping visions of a past time aren’t just illusions, but indeed a reality. Tremble as she trembles when she discovers answers as to whether the past love is the only love that can ever be her forever love!
Enchantment's Embrace, Book Two-- New Release, February 18, 2008
It's been a year since Eryn remembered her past, and also her past life with Uriah. They settle into the Enchanted Inn, exploring their relationship, finding a heated love that is only found in fairy tales. But, it's not long before trouble starts brewing, and Eryn's family is once again in danger against something they know nothing about. Once again, they have to make the decision whether to use the Portal again, and travel back to their own time of 1882 to find the answers. Will they put themselves at risk for the Portal to steal their love once again? You'll laugh with them and cry with them, but the surprise twists and turns will have you turning the pages until the very end.
