Embraces

by Linda Andrews
Cinderella’s glass slipper doesn’t fit cleaning woman Molly Stark. Once upon a time, Molly dreamed and wished, certain that the simple desire for a husband and family were not beyond her abilities. Her simple hopes are shattered when her husband of three years demanded a divorce. Left with an infant son and a demolished self esteem, Molly spends the next five years building a successful cleaning business. The years of struggle produce a practical, twenty-seven year old single mother haunted by the specter of failure. No longer plagued by pesky dreams and wishes, she is confident that Cinderella is simply a story. Until circumstance drives her to make a simple wish. Dr. Lance Knight knows magic exists. His childhood was filled with tales of magic gemstones, knights and wizards. Thirteen years after joining an ancient society of Knights, the wizard Alistair summons him into service almost 900 years in the past. For six months, his days are spent battling an evil warlord for possession of five magical gemstones while his nights are filled with a woman with hair the color of Autumn and eyes like rainbows. Days before completing his quest, Lance arrives on his doorstep to find the woman who haunted his dreams living in his house and sleep-ing in his bed. But winning Molly isn’t easy. Even if Lance sacrifices everything he had been taught to value, it may not be enough to save her from the dark forces that have followed him into the future.
