"A magical romance"
In the latter half of the eighteenth century, as a second
son Lord Harry never expected to inherit the estate, but
when his father and his older brother die in a brutal
accidental fall, he becomes the duke of Sommersville. He
also is bequeathed with a large debt and the probability
that the estate will go to the major marker holder the
odious Carthage. A desperate Harry knows that his
hedonistic lifestyle is over and he must marry his long
time fiancée the lovely, wealthy, but odd Christina
Malcolm Childe if he is to save the estate. Christina can see ghosts and read auras. She is horrified
that her beloved Harry has gone from the wonderful happy
yellow and purple to the detestable brown and blue. She
agrees to wed Harry, but insists he give her time to adapt
because she plans to find the Harry she loves not this
angry shell. As she begins to save Harry's soul and he
recognizes how much he loves Christina, treachery will
leave both on the brink of death unless Harry heeds her
advice received from his loved ones in the beyond. THIS MAGIC MOMENT is an exhilarating paranormal Georgian
romance starring a hurting venomous male and a fabulous
heroine risking all for her love. Though the villain
seems unlikely, Christina makes the tale with her ESP
skills and her heroics. Fans of Ms. Rice's "magical"
tales know that this awesome author always provides all a
reader wants in a novel. Harriet Klausner
