One Magic Moment (de Piaget, #11; de Piaget/MacLeod, #17)

There’s no time like the present . . .
if you’re running away from the past.

Tess Alexander has it all: family within reach, work
she loves, and the chance to live in a perfectly
restored medieval castle. But then a trip to the village
brings her face-to-face with the new owner of the
local garage, who looks a great deal like the man who
married her sister . . . eight hundred years in the past.
She’s determined to remain objective about magic and
destiny, yet she can’t help but wonder about the mysterious,
sword-wielding mechanic . . .

As far as John de Piaget is concerned, he has no past;
it’s safer that way. The last thing he needs is the nosey
medieval studies scholar from the nearby castle
dredging up ancient history—his ancient history. But
from the moment he lays eyes on Tess, John can’t
help but wonder how he ever took a decent breath
without her . . . or how he’s going to protect her from
the treachery that threatens both their futures.
