Print anthology

On a night of forbidden rituals, the veil between past and present lifts—and their worlds will never be the same.

Scientist Moira Sinclair doesn't believe in magic. Or at least she hasn't since childhood. She's only come to Iona in remembrance of her long-deceased grandmother—the last person who encouraged her fanciful side. But now she's stumbled onto a secret druid ritual—and into another time.

Aedan Ap Crannog is furious to discover an outsider spying on their sacred, banned Samhain rites. With her strange garb and stranger mannerisms, Moira is unlike any woman he's ever known. But she could cause trouble for him and the people who follow him in the ancient ways. To prevent her from sounding the alarm, he takes her captive, hiding her in the labyrinth of caves along the far shore.

Despite their differences, sparks burn between them as brightly as the Samhain bonfire. Now captive and captor must find a way to bridge the centuries before the magic disappears with the dawn...

What people are saying...

FOUR HALF-MOONS:

"Ms. Davies’ story is full of magic and wonder. The pace is quick and the writing is smooth and crisp. ...

Ritual Love is a perfect choice for a short, entertaining read. The passion between the hero and heroine sizzles. Their conflicts are dealt with realistically and believably.

This is a story that will remain in the reader’s mind, long after it’s done."

~ Adra, Rites of Romance Reviews

"Ritual Love is a fanciful tale of a lonely scientist and a powerful Druid. Aedan is a perfect hero. I loved his intelligence and his gentle treatment of Moira. Moira’s reaction to Aedan was powerful and touching.

Ritual Love is a wonderfully told story about finding love. I highly recommend it for lovers of time travel."

FOUR AND A HALF LIPS:

"Ritual Love is an endearing story. Moira’s search for happiness is heart wrenching but the magic she finds will give faith to all. Aedan is a strong, proud man, firmly entrenched in the beliefs of his ancestor’s. Kate Davies has brought together two very special individuals in this touching love story that is bound to leave you with a smile on your face. I highly recommend reading this wonderful story."

~ Kerin, Two Lips Reviews

FOUR ANGELS:

"This is a magical tale in which worlds collide in the mystical festival of Samhain. Rich in druid lore, readers get swept away by the ambiance that surrounds Moira and the handsome stranger, Aedan ap Crannog. While this story is but a morsel, it is spicy enough to savor every last bit."

~ Jayne, Fallen Angel Reviews
