as she instantly recognised the man standing beside her booth in the crowded coffee shop. How could she not recognise Ethan Black? Big. Dark. Forceful. Arrogant. Magnetically attractive. Still … Mia drew in a deep breath, chin tilting in challenge as she took in everything about him.

PROLOGUE Fortress of the Light Pedron Niall's aged gaze wandered about his private audience chamber, but dark eyes hazed with thought saw nothing. Tattered wall hangings, once battle banners of the enemies of his youth, faded into dark wood paneling laid over stone walls, thick even here in the heart of the Fortress of the Light.

'The ship was cheered, the harbour cleared, Merrily did we drop Below the kirk, below the hill, Below the lighthouse top. The Sun came up upon the left, Out of the sea came he!

The ‘American Dream’ has existed since the funding of the United States. Typically, the dreamer chooses to rise from being poor to being wealthy, while accumulating things such as love, status, wealth, and power.

I woke up in the hospital with my dad sleeping in a chair and to my surprise the sergeant that helped save me. “Morning sunshine.” He told me which was a shock cause I thought these guys were hard core.

Yet as she leaned over the stone parapet of the bridge on which she stood, her face was pensive and her feet— and this was unusual in the daughter of a professor of classics in the year 1912— were folded in the fifth position. She was a thin girl, brown-haired and brown-eyed, whose gravity and gentleness could not always conceal her questing spirit and eagerness for life. Sensibly dressed in a blue caped coat and tarn o'shanter bought to last, a leather music case propped against
