Who is Morgan?
She appeared for the first time in Jareth, First Lord, as one of the girls brought back from Clan Belfort. As the series progressed, I became intrigued by her story and decided to see where she’d come from and what Clan Brannach held in store for her.
She’d had a hard life before she moved to Clan Brannach and after she arrived, she was assaulted while making deliveries for her boss. She escaped being raped only because of two young men who came to her rescue.
Sure she’ll never find a happily-ever-after, she’s given up trying.
Until she meets James, who has also given up on love. But when he first sees Morgan, muddy, battered, and bloody though she was, it was love at first sight.
But his family has secrets of its own, which has scared off most of the women in his life. One woman he was dating took off running and was nearly trampled to death in the street when he gave her a glimpse of his Talent.
Can he win Morgan’s heart? And can she accept his unique gift as well?
MORGAN — The Pixie and the Green Man–Esperance Book 3
Excerpt:
“Jamie, you’re up early this morning,” his dad called out as he strode down the path. “Got plans with a dark-haired pixie?”
“Sort of. Can I talk to you for a minute?”
Leaning on the rail fence in front of his parents’ house, he told his father what had happened the previous evening.
“I don’t see how you could have done differently, son,” his father said. “If you’re serious about her, she’ll have to know sooner or later.”
“But how can I know when to bring it up? I thought Gwen…”
“Don’t look back, James,” his father said seriously. “I was never sure about Gwen. I know you loved her and hoped things would work out, but that is all in the past.”
“I’m trying to look forward, Dad. But I couldn’t live with myself if I chased Morgan away.”
“Where are you going today?” his father asked.
“For a hike up the stream. It’s a nice warm day and it should be beautiful.”
“The stream isn’t far from the forest. Take her over and introduce her. See what the forest has to say.”
