Description
For over a thousand years—so legend has it—the brambles have grown wild over the ruins of Dunhelm Castle. Many believed that the thorns were a sign that the castle was cursed, so none dared to trespass, and the secrets that they protected and concealed have remained hidden—until now… Armed with a pair of gardening shears, Baird Beauforte is determined to clear away the brambles that hinder the development of his resort, and he won't let local superstition deter him. Dunhelm Castle is supposed to be the latest jewel in the Beauforte Resort chain, but the renovations can't be finished if the workmen are frightened of a so-called curse. To dispel any lingering fears, Baird decides to vanquish the briars himself. What he never expects is to find a mysterious slumbering beauty… Aurelia is like no one he has ever met before. Upon awakening, she demands to know his identity and why he is in her father's castle! Bemused by her claim of being a king's daughter, he is certain he has never met this "princess" before, although something about her rouses a haunting sense of familiarity. Soon, dreams plague this by-the-book businessman…dreams that feel more like memories. And Baird begins to wonder if he can claim his heart's princess—now and forever—with a kiss. Finalist Colorado Romance Writers’ Award of Excellence for Best Paranormal, Fantasy or Time Travel Romance “This expertly crafted, beautifully touching “Sleeping Beauty” tale is absolutely wonderful reading. Ms. Cross has provided everything I require in a romance—excellent character development, well-plotted storyline with a touch of mystery, just enough conflict to be interesting and exciting, yet not overpowering, plus a unique paranormal element. This book is simply marvelous!”—Old Book Barn Gazette “Claire [Delacroix] demonstrates that she is one of the most talented writers of time travel romances with Once Upon A Kiss, a wonderful tale that fans of the sub-genre will devour.”—Painted Rock and Affaire de Coeur “Like a sorcerer, Claire [Delacroix] spellbinds her readers and carries them on a magical journey through the pages of Once Upon A Kiss. Although the plot is familiar, it’s far from predictable. It’s fresh and exciting, passionate and sensual. As the story reaches its climax, even the most skeptical reader may believe that true love can transcend time. Once Upon A Kiss is at the top of my recommended book list.”—Rendezvous “Claire [Delacroix] turns humor, love, murder and reincarnation into a work of art. Take a bow, Claire, this is stunning!”—Bell, Book & Candle “A whirlwind of romantic adventure!”—Under the Covers Reviews “A beautifully romantic time travel!”—Romance Communications *** time travel romance, Scotland, Orkney, sleeping beauty romance, millionaire, hotelier, businessman, orphan, scars, reincarnation, second chance at love, Picts, medieval romance, fish out of water
