Book excerpt: Is her enemy the love she's been waiting for? Grace O'Brien lives an unapologetic life - one where she uses magick and attitude alike to live exactly as she pleases. With talents far beyond what most can comprehend, Grace dances through life with verve and enthusiasm. But it isn't all magick and mirth. A secret haunts Grace through the darkest hours of the night. For in her heart lies the soul of a fierce pirate queen, one that has loved and weathered unequivocal loss. Now, as she hopes once more for true love - a love that was promised to her - It seems that Grace might not always be able to get everything that she desires. From the moment that Dylan Kelly sailed into Grace's Cove, the town captured his heart. Pulled by an invincible need to move to the village, Dylan changes his entire life to finally focus on his passion project. When Dylan runs headfirst into the indomitable force that is Grace O'Brien, he battles both his attraction and his ethics in order to pursue the one thing that matters most to him - building his legacy. As centuries blur and souls collide, Grace must come to terms with the fact that she can't control everything - even her heart.
