BLURB:
Eloisa Waters is creating a new life for herself. After travelling for twelve months, she comes
home at Christmas, purchasing a small country cottage in a sleepy English
village, despite the fact its previous owner was a recluse, the original owner
was supposedly a witch, and it’s now rumored to be haunted!
On the first night in her new home, sensual erotic dreams surprise
and delight her. Only these aren’t
dreams. The rumors are true. Two handsome Regency ghosts inhabit the
cottage, becoming corporeal at night, trapped by a curse, compelled to satisfy
every desire of the new owner.
Elly begins to fall in love with Anton and Phillipe, her charming
ghostly lovers. But is there more? Can
the curse be broken? Or does Elly risk her own soul. As Christmas approaches,
and memories surface, how will Elly choose?
How can she possibly leave behind the Ghosts of Grace Cottage?
EXCERPT:
“Are you sure?”
Elly grinned at her friend. “Sal, I think you’re
doing this wrong. You’re a realtor, I’m looking for a house. Your job is to
talk me into buying, not out of it.”
Sally, her lifelong buddy and trainee real estate
agent, looked dubious. “It’s old.”
Elly let her gaze wander over the deep red bricks
of the cottage almost obscured by the climbing white roses. She saw the faded
paint on the window frames and doors, the cracked tiles on the roof. None of
that mattered. Something about this place called to her, tugged at her.
“Imagine it with snow on the roof.”
“I’m imagining the roof collapsing.”
“Just look at those flowers. Whoever heard of roses
blooming so close to Christmas?”
“It’s a freaky property. The climbing white roses
bloom all year round. The bushes in the front garden don’t bloom at all, ever.”
“Imagine lying in bed and letting the fragrance
waft over you.”
“Imagine lying in bed and letting the freezing cold
wind waft over you from the cracks in the wall caused by the climbing roses
penetrating the mortar between the bricks.”
“You do realize, Sal, you have no romance in your
life.”
AUTHOR Bio and
Links:
I
was born in England. My parents loved to travel as my dad spent many years in
the navy. By the time I reached the age of 12 we had traveled pretty much
around the world on cruise ships.
This
sounds fun and exciting unless like me you can get sea sick sitting in a
bathtub. Lets just say boats do not feature highly in my books.
I
still love to travel, but I use planes. All of my life I have written stories
in my head. I would rewrite and add characters to TV shows, edit and change
novels I was reading, invent scenarios and scenes to amuse myself on long
journeys. But strangely I never wrote any of them down. About three years ago I
woke up with a scene so clear in my head I knew I had to put it down on paper.
Now, what should I do with this one page of prose? I know, I will email it to
some friends. The friends approved, in fact they asked what book it was from. I
shyly admitted it was my own work and the reaction was immediate...please write
the next bit! I did and I have not stopped writing since.
