Draycott Eternal
by Christina Skye

What Dreams May Come (originally published by Avon in the anthology, Bewitching Love Stories, in September 1992)
Forever fated to wander within the grounds of his beautiful English abbey, Adrian Draycott has given up all hope of peace. But when Gray Mackenzie appears with all her secrets and charm, the winds of danger and earthly desire suddenly find this sexy spirit turning all-male flesh and blood.

Season of Wishes (originally published by Avon in November 1997)
As snow dusts the Highlands, a centuries-old passion unfolds. But with it comes the chill touch of an old menace.

Beautiful American heiress Jamee Night feels someone watching her: someone who knows every move she makes. And she knows firsthand what fear is, since she survived a kidnapping when she was just a girl. But Jamee has worked too hard to lose her confidence now. She has come to Scotland on a mission of hope, and to return to the land of her ancestors.

Jamee would never knowingly accept protection, but when she meets Ian McCall, tenth laird of Glenlyle, she is unaware that the proud Highlander is a top kidnapping expert secretly working on her behalf. But there is no mistaking the quiet strength and steely confidence which pulls her inexorably toward his powerful, sheltering embrace and wakens within her a desperate yearning--as well as intense memories of an ancestor who lived, loved and made three solemn wishes generations before.

Now, here in the windswept hills, with Jamee's courage, Ian's trust, and a bit of otherworldly help from the irrepressible spirits of Draycott Abbey, miracles can take place--and even ancient wishes really can come true.

Christina Skye's Bio

Chritina Skye has eaten snake meat in Shanghai and armadillo in Canton. A Ph.D. graduate in Chinese literature, she has translated for Chinese generals, dissident poets, and fifth-generation puppet masters. In 1981 the Ohio native was nearly arrested when a businessman she was working for insisted she help him smuggle two "ladies of dubious virtue" into Peking's prestigious State Guest House.

The armed PLA soldiers at the gate were not amused, she notes. But these days Skye's greatest love is England, especially the fog-swept southeast coast. Here she first encountered the portrait of a proud-faced, sad-eyed aristocrat and a great gray cat sitting protectively beneath it. Adrian and Gideon haven't given her a moment's peace since.

Two Draycott novellas later (one appeared in Avon Books' Haunting Love Stories and one in Bewitching Love Stories), the award-winning author of four historical romances is deep at work on a new novel set at magical Draycott Abbey.

A descendant of Revolutionary War hero Adam Helmer, Christina Skye currently lives with her husband and young son in New Jersey, where she prudently avoids snakes and anything that resembles an armadillo.
