Royal Time

by Rachel Branton

An ancient castle leads to the past—and love. Renovating a medieval castle in the country of Beaumont is a fantastic opportunity for engineer Emerson Shaw. Yet part of him isn’t sure if working closely with Jianne Selmone is a delicious promise or a terrifying sentence. Because try as he might to woo her, she doesn’t seem to feel the way he does. When the work takes on a sudden and very strange twist, he finds himself dependent upon Jianne for the first time, and maybe that’s exactly what she needs to break free of her past. An ancient castle, a passageway through time, a king in danger, and a witch? You’ll find it all in the magical country of Beaumont, where true love has a way of righting old wrong and making dreams come alive. This is the last of four novellas in the Royals of Beaumont series, where each story is a stand-alone that can be read individually or as a series.

About the author

Teyla Rachel Branton grew up avidly reading science fiction and fantasy and watching Star Trek reruns with her large family. They lived on a little farm where she loved to visit the solitary cow and collect (and juggle) the eggs, usually making it back to the house with most of them intact. On that same farm she once owned thirty-three gerbils and eighteen cats, not a good mix, as it turns out. Teyla always had her nose in a book and daydreamed about someday creating her own worlds. She is now married, mostly grown up, and has seven kids, so life at her house can be very interesting (and loud), but writing keeps her sane. She thrives on the energy and daily amusement offered by her children, the semi-ordered chaos giving her a constant source of writing material. Grabbing any snatch of free time from her hectic life, Teyla writes novels full of mystery, romance, and imagination. She warns her children that if they don’t behave, they just might find themselves in her next book! She’s been known to wear pajamas all day when working on a deadline, and is often distracted enough to burn dinner. (Okay, pretty much 90% of the time.) A sign on her office door reads: DANGER. WRITER AT WORK. ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK. She loves writing fiction and traveling, and she hopes to write and travel a lot more. She also loves shooting guns, martial arts, and belly dancing. She has worked in the publishing business for over twenty years.

Wow

What a delightful story! A little tense now and then but what a great story and tender love story. Would that parts of it would be true and see the delights of ancient books and clothing. A very wonderful and satisfying series!
