Of One Heart (Crowns & Kilts Book 2)

Aila Ven has always been strong. Monsters from another world threaten life itself, but she knows her power will see her through. With her magical weapons, finely honed skills, and friends by her side—she has nothing to fear.

Or so she thought.

After their recent predicaments in Arania, Aila, Tere, and Lily are finally heading to the Great Enclave. To speak with the king.

Aila hasn’t set foot in the Clavian capital city for years, afraid of her secret being revealed. What will happen when her friends find out what she’s been hiding?

The vacation of her nightmares might just hold the key to her heart.

Eleanor Ackard always knows the right thing to do to help her patients when it comes to their relationships, but when an almost-vacation with her immature boyfriend makes it clear that she needs to take her own advice, she rethinks her plans and sets off on a solo vacation to Scotland. But when a boat tour ends up with her stranded inside a haunted castle, Eleanor is faced with the opportunity to change history. Thrilled to escape her mundane routine for just a little while, she jumps at the chance, never expecting for a moment that it’s her heart that is as likely to change as history.

“I’ll never be the kind of woman who wears pearls with her apron while cooking meatloaf for her husband. But when I was a kid, my mother, Babs, prepared me to be the next June Cleaver - teaching me lessons that belonged to another era. Another world, practically. My mother’s world. But what can you expect from a woman whose biggest aspiration was to be Cotton Queen? I couldn’t wait to leave home and get away from her. But now, well... let’s just say life hasn’t turned out quite like I’d planned. And heaven help me, I’m going home.” - Laney Hoffman, Cotton Queen, 1975
