A Long Forgotten Time
(The Thistle & Hive Series, Bk #7)
by Jennae Vale
Blurb
Brenna MacRae finds herself an unwelcome guest in her own home. Ever since her father married Greer Matheson, her new stepmother has been trying to get rid of her. She’s now intent on marrying Brenna off to a man old enough to be her father. Unwilling to marry anyone, Brenna takes matters into her own hands and runs away with the intent of finding refuge with her brother and his wife. She doesn’t make it very far before being forced back to Castle Treun and the possibility of a life with a very dangerous man.
Zeke Barrett didn’t plan on traveling back in time, especially if it meant possibly seeing the woman he once loved and lost, but he finds he has no choice if he wishes to ever see his sister, Sara again. He’s determined to bring her back home to San Francisco where she belongs. She’s the only family he has left and Zeke refuses to lose her to a time and place that has long been forgotten. He enlists the aid of the witch, Edna Campbell, who agrees to help him, but as usual, Edna has an ulterior motive. Instead of tracking down Sara, Zeke finds himself at Castle Treun where he becomes embroiled in the MacRae family drama and he gets more than he bargained for when he finds he can hardly stand by and watch as Brenna MacRae is used as a pawn in a game between her father and Nevil Munro, the man she is to marry.
Zeke must get Brenna safely into her brother’s care, but first he’ll have to deal with her family and the evil Laird Munro. Once he does, he’ll still have to confront his feelings about the woman who broke his heart and the woman, who despite all her protests, is the only one who can heal it.

Excerpt
It took a moment or
two for Zeke to realize he’d actually done it.
He’d time traveled. His elation
on knowing this was tempered by the fact that he had no idea where he was or
what year it was. He hoped Edna was as
good at this time travel stuff as he’d heard, but so far there was no way for
him to know.
“There ye are, sir,” a
man’s voice came from behind him. Zeke
spun around to see an older gentleman standing next to a wagon. He was holding the reins to a magnificent
black horse with a long flowing mane.
“Me name’s Wallace. Edna sent me
to make sure ye arrived safely. She
asked that I provide ye with this horse.
His name is Olwydd. ’Tis a Welsh
name that means tracker.” He approached
Zeke, holding the reins out for him to take.
“Thank you,” Zeke
said. “I was wondering if I had arrived
in the right place, but now that I’ve seen you, I guess I have.” He looked the horse over and thought the name
appropriate considering that he was here to find his sister. “Do you know which way I should go?”
“Dinnae worry yerself
with that. Olwydd kens the way. Edna has seen to it.” He bobbed his head and
turned to head back to his wagon.
Zeke was definitely
feeling out of his element. It was a
mixture of excitement about this journey and anxiety for the unknown. “So, the horse is going to lead me to my
sister,” he called to Wallace.
“I’ve no idea where
yer headed, sir. I only do what Edna
asks of me and she didnae grant me that information. She did, however, ask me to supply ye with
some things ye may need. They are in the
bags, there.” He pointed to two leather
bags slung across the saddle. “Now, ’tis
time for me to be on me way.”
“Thanks, Wallace. I appreciate the help.” He had one more
question before he was on his own, “How will I get in touch with Edna?”
Wallace tipped his cap
and climbed aboard his wagon, waving to Zeke as he disappeared over the bridge.
“Okay. I guess that
was another question he didn’t have an answer for.” Zeke rubbed the tension from the back of his
neck. He had very little to go on here
and he had to trust that somehow he’d find a way to communicate with Edna. “Well, Olwydd, I sure hope you know where
you’re going.”
The horse nickered and
gazed at him with liquid brown eyes.
Zeke glanced around and seeing no other option, mounted Olwydd and
allowed him to lead the way.
