Prairie Fire – a time-travel romance
100,000 words
A
modern-day newswoman and an 1830s frontiersman are separated by more
than 170 years, yet both their lives have been singed by tragedy.
NATASHA
STEWART is an identical twin, the daughter of an identical twin, who
grew up in a family attuned to the magic in the sky, earth and water
around them. But it’s fire that’s been deadly in Natasha’s experience,
killing her twin when they were eight years old, and leaving her
reluctant to make close attachments and with a severe distrust for men
who promise too much.
JAMES WAVERLY understood death from an
early age also, when his mother was killed in an Indian battle and he
was adopted for a short time into a Potawatomi family. A loner who
takes honor and responsibility to heart, he’s straddled two cultures,
never quite at home in either and never understanding the ties that
held him to the prairies near Chicago. The untimely death of his wife
reinforced Waverly’s belief that ladies are too fragile for life on the
frontier.
When a prairie fire magically creates a doorway that
sends Natasha though time and into Waverly’s arms, the sparks threaten
to burn more than dry brush. As Natasha searches for a way home and
Waverly tries to protect this lady who refuses to be protected, they
discover their lives are more connected than either could have
believed, and Natasha’s future hinges on this frontiersman with an
unexpected link to her past.
Prairie Fire – a beacon through time, igniting new passion, exposing old truths.
