Once Upon a Storm (Struck by Lightning Book 1)

Wales, 1296, a time of turmoil.

Recently widowed, Connor Hunter, Lord Sheridan, is ordered by the king to take a Welsh wife, and sent into hostile territory to help bring the local rebels to heel.

Having lost her husband in traumatic circumstances, Esyllt has no wish to remarry. She is given no choice, however, when an English husband is chosen for her in a strategic move. Married to one of the despised invaders, she will be the instrument of his destruction.

Like generations of Wren women before her, Jenna Wren is a "hedge" witch-in tune with nature and savvy in the healing power of herbs. But even a flourishing hair salon and two wonderful children can't keep her from feeling lonely, and increasingly frustrated with her ex-husband, Jack. Then one night, Jenna and her sister draft a recipe for the "perfect man." It's meant to be a joke...until Jenna's daughter uses it to reunite her parents. But Jenna may have to summon all of her powers of enchantment before she can truly follow her heart.

Darkness fights hardest against the lights that burn brightest.

Elian’s victory over the invading Debru came with a high cost, but for the first time in generations, hope beats in the chests of the warriors of the wandering clans. Before the dust from the battle can settle, though, the Debru reveal their true, terrifying power for the first time. Once again, the clans must flee while they desperately search for the strength to resist their destruction.
