The Selkie Bride: A Historical Scottish Paranormal Mystery

By Melanie Jackson

Into the Gloaming

Recently widowed, Megan Culbin was glad to escape her abusive marriage and start over in an inherited cottage in a quaint Scottish village. Yes, all here was not as it seemed. Legend had it Finloss was cursed. And the coastal town, once home to witches and sea monsters, would soon see a creature far deadlier.

"[A] page-turning paranormal romance!"
---Booklist

But out of the sea and mist came an ally, a protector. The strange, distant and dangerous Lachlan was as powerful as he was handsome, and his thirst for vengeance could no more be denied than his passion for Megan. Together with an inherited (and possibly ghostly) cat, Megan and her Selkie warrior would destroy their merciless foe, uncover an ancient Scots magic... and solve the mystery of a stolen heart.

fascinating historical romantic fantasy

In 1923 recently widowed Megan Colbin believes that in death her late abusive husband did one good deed for her unlike what he did to her in life; he left her a cottage near allegedly cursed Findloss, Scotland. A storm buried the coastal village under tons of sand only fifty years later, Findloss resurfaced with all its buildings intact, but not a soul or human remains anywhere. Lachlan arrives from seemingly the sea and introduces himself to Megan. He explains he is a Selkie warrior who is on a mission to prevent a nasty peer from causing havoc on land and at sea; and he is also seeking the human female whose heart has called him. As the widow and the Selkie investigate, they learn Megan's husband and his family were implicated in a wizard's evil that needs to be destroyed before more innocent people under the sea and on the coast die. The Selkie Bride is a fascinating historical romantic fantasy with a delightful lead couple who holds the plot together. However, it is the evil villain who steals the show in this exciting early twentieth century paranormal thriller. Harriet Klausner
