Enchanted Well

Ruben Lindsey, heir to the Lindsey lands, was only tasked with delivering a letter but when he happens upon the mythical midnight well and sees the face of a beautiful woman in its waters-the same face of the woman he must deliver the letter to-he simply can't ignore the pull he feels to her. Sabine "Modesty" Hawlyn feels confined by her rigid Puritan life enforced by her extremely religious father who has arranged for her to marry a man she does not want. She yearns for freedom and when a handsome stranger brings news from her eldest sister Prudence who was whisked away across the border to Scotland, she can't help but hope for something more-especially now that she has also seen the Scotsman's face in the waters of the well. During May Day celebrations, a last piece of joy and freedom for Modesty, she is unexpectedly attacked by the Queen's men. To her relief the handsome Scot comes to her rescue, but when her savior becomes her captor, she begins to question what fate has in store for her. Could the Midnight Well be wrong? Or has its magic already begun to weave a path that she and Ruben are compelled to follow? Contains mature themes.

Tonight, Dugan planned to make sure the lass venturing out to peek at her future got what she was looking for. One moonlit encounter. That was all it might ever be, and yet, Dugan craved more. At the end of the harvest, Samhain bonfires had been held under the moon for as long as anyone remembered. Were they sinful? Perhaps. But they were fun, and Dugan intended to give himself another chance to see the lass he'd encountered at the well. Tonight though, he'd go so far as becoming the Laird of Misrule. The position came with a very pretty queen consort while the bonfire blazed. Her mother warned her against indulging in impulses. But that didn't stop Braylin from sneaking out to dance around the bonfire on the first night of Samhain. It was a chance to be free, if only for one moment. But fate has other ideas. Dugan is illegitimate, and his stepmother is determined to make sure he will never inherit the Hay lairdship. When the lady hears that Dugan has danced the night away with an English, a Puritan girl, it's the perfect chance to ensure her own son inherits. For if Lady Hay brings the girl to Hay land, Dugan will have to wed her or see his honor tarnished. Contains mature themes.
