A time travel accident has left
Aidan MacWilliam, younger brother of a medieval Irish laird, trapped in the
future. Though he’s become a successful entrepreneur in the twenty-first
century, Aidan still can’t banish thoughts of the world he left behind. In
search of distraction, he heads to New York to scout a PR person for his
cousin’s matchmaking firm, Celtic Connections.

Emmaline Perkins might be the
perfect candidate. A PR expert and closet medievalist, Emma has always put work
before her social life. When a breathtakingly handsome man who looks like he
stepped straight out of the Middle Ages proposes business, she struggles to
keep her professional and personal lives separate.

Then Emma's ex-fiancé resurfaces,
threatening Emma’s livelihood, her home, and ultimately her safety. Aidan jumps
to protect her and not just because she’s good for business. He feels a primal
need to defend the alluring young woman. But the question is not where she'll
be safe, but when.

He stopped
directly in front of her, his body inches from hers, and slowly leaned in.
Emma’s breath hitched, and her body went on full alert, her senses hyperaware
of him. His clean scent filled her nose, and his nearness made her knees turn
to jelly. When her eyes locked on his clean-shaven face, it took every fiber of
her being not to rise up on her toes and run her tongue along his jawline.
His eyes met
hers, and she saw it—raw hunger. As he raised his hand slowly, she parted her
lips, hoping for a second taste of Aidan MacWilliam.
The sound of
something rustling above her head forced her to look up.
Aidan brought
a bag of coffee down to the counter and trapped her between his arms.
She couldn’t
move. She didn’t want to move.
They stood
like that for a long moment before he shook his head a little, as if
questioning his sanity, before he placed his hand on her jaw, tugged it open,
and melded his firm lips to hers. Her eyes fluttered closed of their own
accord, and she was suddenly enveloped in his arms, his hand stroking her neck.
He cradled her head and flicked his tongue to hers. She wrapped her arms around
his shoulders and brought them up to his neck, as he kissed her gently,
carefully, as though she would break.
She sighed
softly and leaned into him, and he growled into her mouth. Aidan kept one hand in
her hair, his fingers gentle, and pressed his other hand into the small of her
back, bringing her body flush with his. He deepened the kiss, devouring her in
the best of ways. Emma felt cherished, branded, and hot all over.
She pressed
into him harder, and he slid his hand up her spine, sending chills throughout
her overheated body. She ran her fingers through his hair, surprised at its
softness. He drew her attention away from wandering thoughts, though, when,
without breaking the kiss, he grasped her waist and lifted her onto the
counter. He angled her head and kissed her as though his life depended on it.
She lost all
coherent thought.
His hands
were on her back, her shoulders, her hair, her legs. She dragged her hands up
his abs, feeling the ridges of muscles and flesh; she wanted to tear his shirt
off and kiss him everywhere, all at once.
“Ahem.”
Dimly, she
registered that someone was standing on the other side of the island, and she
tried to disengage from Aidan.
“Kitchen’s
closed,” Aidan said, his voice rough. He rested his forehead against Emma’s.
“Let me know
when it’s open, all right? I need some coffee before I start working,” Colin
replied, the grin in his voice unmistakable. A few seconds later, a door opened
and closed.
They looked
at each other for a moment, breathing hard, and didn’t say anything. Aidan
flicked his gaze to her lips, and kissed her hard and deep before pulling away.
“I won’t apologize for that.”
More confused
than ever, she glared at him. “I don’t know whether to slap you or…or…”
His green
gaze locked on her for another moment, and he let out a sudden chuckle.
“Christ, Emma, what you reduce me to. Kissing you in my cousin’s kitchen.”
“That felt
more like ravishing,” she snapped before she could stop herself. She slid off
the counter.
He brought
his body against hers once more, and she cursed herself for freezing in place.
He leaned down, his mouth on her ear, and ran his tongue along it. “Then you’ve
never been properly ravished,” he whispered.
