Beneath the Destiny Stone
Sarah Charles
Publication date: September 6th 2021
Genres: Adult, Time-Travel

A medieval Scottish blacksmith and a millennial from Detroit walk into a bar…

By the age of six, Fiona could sink a bank shot.

By eight she could mix a perfect Manhattan.

By twenty-two, she had a business degree and a concrete plan to save her grandfathers failing bar.

Then she was pushed through a time-portal.

Now Fiona is stuck in fourteenth-century Scotland with no way home. Theres a good chance time-soldiers are after her. And Henry, the guy shes shacked up with, is a grumpy son-of-a-bitch who doesnt get her at all.

He is hot, though.

And brave.

And most definitely the love of her life.

If the two of them can stop bickering long enough, Fiona just might be able to have it all—the tavern of her dreams and the first man who can actually keep up with her. That is, if they can survive the battles, murder, and mayhem of the Middle Ages and the time-soldiers who have a hand in it all.

EXCERPT:

My granda once met the devil himself.

At least, that was the story he was telling his friends. They sat at their usual corner table of the Caledonia Club—Old John, William, Robert, and Granda. Above them, an olive-green lamp illuminated a haze of cigar smoke and dust motes. A Scottish flag hung behind their heads, and on a pedestal in the corner sat a bust of Robert Burns, there to remind them what becomes of the best laid schemes omice anmen.

His voice carried across the club to my spot behind the bar, and I smiled to myself. Of all Grandas stories, I loved this one most.

There I was, storming the shores of Normandy, gunfire blazing on all sides.” He paused for dramatic effect. But it wasna the bullets I feared. Nay. It was the man standing before me with fire in his eyes.” He stared each of his friends in the eye. Auld Clootie.”

Jones, the Caledonia Clubs shift manager and sometimes cook, laughed beside me as he counted out cash for the till. What the fuck is a clootie?”

I gave the bar a final wipe and tossed the rag into sanitizing solution. Its a Scottish thing. They dont like to say devil, so theyve got a bunch of nicknames for him.”

Jones smirked. You sure theyre not talking about their Depends? I bet Johns wearing an old clootie right now.”

I laughed despite myself. Dont start. Its already bad enough I have to deal with that lot.”

As if to punctuate my point, William knocked over his drink, and the rest of the table hooted and hollered.

Jones jotted down the register balance in an old-fashioned paper ledger and bumped the drawer closed with his hip. He raised an eyebrow. You sure you want to do this now?”

I glanced at the old men and sighed. Better now than after theyve cashed that bottle of Glen Livet.”

He put a hand to my shoulder. I have complete and utter faith in you. Youve got this!” He yanked his phone from his pocket. Now if youll excuse me, Im just going to check out some job sites for completely unrelated reasons…”

I flicked him in the forehead and snickered. Dick.” He handed me the ledger, and I headed from the bar to join the old men.

“…so, I shot off his horns and shamed him back to hell,” Granda finished with a grin. The old men laughed and nodded in approval.

It takes bigger stones than Auld Clooties to take on a Highlander,” said Old John.

Aye. Aye. True enough.” William nodded.

I pulled a chair from a neighboring table and squeezed in next to Granda. He flashed me a wide grin. Ah, Fiona, love. I was just tellinthe lads about the time—”

I gave him a quick peck on the forehead. I heard you, Granda.”

He patted my cheek. Such a bonnie lass.” He beamed at his friends. Isna my granddaughter the bonniest lass yeve ever seen?”

Robert raised his glass in salute. Stunning.”

William winked. Like a young Audrey Hepburn.”

I rolled my eyes. Sure, I looked exactly like Audrey Hepburn, except for my face full of freckles and head full of curls. I supposed we were both brunettes, though, so there was that.

Oi, Poof.” Old John waved an empty whisky bottle at Jones. We need another.”

I grimaced at Johns words snatched the bottle from his hand. What did I tell you?”

His brows crinkled. What? I just said—”

I glared down the bridge of my nose at him. Do I have to call your wife and make her come get your old homophobic ass?”

Jones sauntered to the table with a fresh bottle. Its all right. We all know why he likes to suck on them cigars all day.” He winked at Old John and set the bottle in front of him.

Everybody burst out laughing, except for Old John who flushed purple. I slid the ledger in front of Granda.

He held it at arms length and squinted at the numbers. What am I lookinat?”

I gnawed on my cheek. We didnt break even this month.”

He gave a half-hearted shrug. Aye, well…businessll pick up.”

I took a deep breath. No, it wont. We have three customers, and theyre all at this table.”

William lit a cigar. Aye, but Robert drinks as much as five men.”

Used to say the same oyour mum,” Robert shot back, and the old men cackled.

I looked Granda in the eye. We need to bring in a younger crowd.”

How should we do that? Turn the place into a disco?” Granda gestured around the empty bar. Bring in a few go-go dancers?” The old men laughed.

I narrowed my eyes. Be serious.”

Description

Melissa’s world was shaken when her three children were taken by Child Services. A few suburbs away, a couple were excitedly preparing to become foster parents. Zara and Renee have been busily preparing their home and their lives to become mothers. Despite their preparation, their world is shaken by the arrival of their children. Their first placement, three siblings needing a loving home turn the couple into an instant family. But while the couple are rejoicing their new roles, Melissa is spiralling into depression she fears she’ll never get out of. As Zara learns more about the children’s background, she is touched by Melissa’s story. In contrast, Renee has grown to become a fiercely protective stay-at-home-mother determined to do everything for the children, with no regard to their birth mother. As Zara’s motivations for foster care shift, the couple find themselves battling with questions such as “Why are we doing this?”, “What is the right thing to do?” and whether their relationship is as secure as they first expected. Could the very thing they thought might bring them even closer together actually tear them apart? Narrated by three voices—the birth mother, Melissa, and the two foster carers, Renee and Zara, Shaken Worlds is a novel about what it means to be a mother and the way three women view their role for the same three children.

Excerpt

Shaken Worlds Gemma Johns © 2021 All Rights Reserved Melissa I was hit with the memory as soon as I woke up. I instantly felt sick. I needed to talk to someone, but I didn’t know who would listen and not judge. Anyone who heard my story would surely feel better than me. I was sick of people judging me – I’d just had months of it. Months of interviews, phone calls, people watching me. I was exhausted, to the bone. I listened out for my son’s wail, but it didn’t come. Perhaps I’d never hear it again. And with that realisation, the tears welled up in my eyes and soon fat teardrops were falling down my face. “You’re a mess, Melissa,” I told myself. “It’s no wonder, no wonder at all, that they don’t think you’re a fit mother.” But then I thought about it more. “Surely, an unfit mother wouldn’t be this upset? I have a natural motherly instinct. Hell, I’m waiting for my son to cry! Unfit mothers just don’t care, do they?” And then it hit me – today I’m listening out for my son to cry, but three months earlier, I wasn’t. Maybe I was just that kind of unfit mother. I walked to the kitchen, pissed off. Angry at the system, angry at the people, angry at the courts, but most of all, angry at myself. Zara The alarm clock startled me from my dreams. I couldn’t even remember what I was dreaming about, but I knew I’d rather be asleep than awake. Renee stirred beside me, and sighed, but we didn’t talk. Instead, on autopilot, I padded to the shower, thinking about my day ahead. I turned the water on to hot, middle of winter, and waited for it to heat up while I stripped. I looked at myself in the mirror, mostly happy with what I saw. A little pudgy in the middle, but you get that at 35. Or at least the girls in my family get it around their mid-thirties. I showered and then came out of the bathroom. By now Renee looked more awake. “Hey,” she said. “Hey,” I pulled a pair of charcoal trousers out of my wardrobe. Grabbing a white bra and white satin blouse, I got ready for work. “What’s your day like, today?” I asked Renee, as I brushed my long, dark hair. “Not too bad. I have a few meetings.” Renee works as an Executive Assistant to some big-wig in an accounting firm. She’s a very efficient worker. I, on the other hand, am a more ambitious, but less organised, academic. “My day isn’t so bad either,” I was half concentrating on doing my makeup as I spoke. “I’ve got to finish writing a paper, but other than that, not too much. Maybe tonight we could go out for dinner?” “Yeah,” Renee said, lightly slapping my bum as she walked past me on her way to the bathroom. “Good idea.” Neither of us had much motivation to cook by the end of the week, so I’d known she’d agree. I put some shoes on – my comfortable flats, being a Friday, after all—and walked out to the kitchen. Although I was hoping to get ready for work pretty quickly, I decided to brew the nice coffee pot, rather than the horrible instant stuff. And just as I got my coffee cup ready, the phone rang, interrupting my thoughts. “Hello?” I popped my toast in the toaster. “Hello, I’m looking for Zara or Renee.”. “That’s me.” I then realised she wouldn’t be able to decipher which of us I was, added, “I’m Zara.” “Hi, Zara. I’m Angela from Sydney Child Services.” “Oh, right?” I was intrigued. Renee and I had trained to become foster carers over the past few months and finally had everything approved last week. I knew we had one form still outstanding, so I figured Angela was ringing about that. Unless…oh, I didn’t dare wonder; instead, I held my breath. “Last night, we had three children come into care.” The toast sprung up from the toaster and I felt faint. Three children? Why was she telling me this? I wondered, not daring to dream. “We haven’t got a placement for them, yet, they came in so late, and as you were recently approved as foster carers, we wondered whether you would be interested in the placement.” “Three children?” I repeated. “Wow,” I laughed nervously. I heard Renee finish up in the bathroom, so I raced to the bedroom and gestured silently, trying to get her attention. I repeated myself, “three children,” emphasising three. Renee’s eyes widened. “What?” she whispered, alarmed, and I flagged my hands to shush her, so I could hear Angela continue. “Yes,” Angela replied. “They’re in your age group. Normally we wouldn’t have a first placement of three children, but they’re in your age group, and we do like to keep siblings together. Plus, we do have such a shortage of carers.” “Of course.” I nodded, even though Angela couldn’t see that. I knew all that, they’d emphasised all this in our training sessions. Still, I wondered if we could handle three children. “Could you tell me more?” I asked, stalling for time. “I haven’t met them myself, but I hear they’re quiet children. Then again, given the circumstances, it’s hard to know what to expect. A baby boy, he’s eight months old.” We’d always imagined a baby boy! “Twin girls, they’re three.” “When would they need placement?” I asked, even though I already knew the answer. “Immediately,” came the reply. Although it wasn’t a shock, it hit me. We could be a family of five today! “I’ll discuss it with Renee and get back to you,” I said. “Sure, Zara. As you can imagine, this is a matter of urgency. I mean…” “Yeah, I’ll get straight back to you, in about twenty minutes.” I said, feeling the pressure. Renee sat down and gave me a funny smile. “Give it to me,” she said, half-laughing. “Three kids. Eight months and three.” “That’s only two.” I shook my head. “There’s TWO three-year-olds.” “TWO three-year-olds? Wow, that’s hard to deal with!” We laughed. “Boys or girls?” she asked. “Baby boy and twin girls.” “Identical?” I shrugged. “Honestly we didn’t go into that much detail. They only went into care overnight. Quiet kids, apparently.” “Yeah, but imagine being taken from your family. Of course, you’d be quiet. Three kids?” She shook her head in disbelief. “Too much?” I asked her, a little disappointed. “Maybe we should say no. There will be more offers, more kids.” I was worried that if we said no, we would go to the bottom of the list, but I didn’t say that. “Looks, it’s possible. We always wanted three kids. Not all at once, but one day,” she said, clearly thinking it over. She looked a bit like a deer caught in the headlights. “This woman, Angela. She needs an answer ASAP.” “ASAP,” Renee repeated. She shook her head. “It’s just such a leap.” “Yeah, but it’s a leap we are ready for.” “So you think we should do it?” she asked me. “I don’t know. I mean, maybe it’s short term, maybe it’s long term. I didn’t even ask. But these kids are probably sitting in some office right now, scared. They need a loving home, and this is why we did this.” “Yeah, but I haven’t even finished work yet!” “That’s okay, Renee. I reckon I could work from home, classes are over for now. How long do you need?” Deep down, I was a little worried about staying at home with children, but I had the flexibility in my career that Renee didn’t have, and it would only be until Renee’s boss would be able to replace her. “A month. Anthony could replace me in a month,” Renee said decisively, “but are you sure you can do this?” I nodded with certainty I didn’t entirely feel. “So we’re doing this? I’ll stay home with the kids, then you take over. Yeah? We’re really doing this?” I was beside myself with excitement and nerves and couldn’t believe this was really happening. “Yeah. Ring the lady back. Maybe I’ll see if Anthony can do without me today. Shit, Zara. Which room will we put the baby in?” Renee looked anxious. “The one with the cot,” I said, laughing. I couldn’t believe she was even asking that question right now, but I kept laughing. “Who cares? Let’s just ring Angela back.”

The Cape Mysteries, Book 2

Mystery, Thriller



Only $.99 or FREE on Kindle Unlimited


A bloodied body buried on Cape Cod. A cold case in Kansas.

Can Leila track down a savage killer?

After a blinding snowstorm, artist and amateur sleuth Leila Goodfriend wakes early in the morning for a walk in the woods to think, to escape. When she stumbles on the bloodied body of a woman buried in a snow bank, Leila digs desperately, her fingers bleed, shaking with fear, she knows who it is.

It’s Susie, the ex-girlfriend of Steve, a failed photographer she dumped months before.

Leila was at a creative retreat with her eccentric group of Red Barn artist friends, on a remote island off Cape Cod. On the rebound from her relationship, Leila finds herself attracted to Detective John Grace, a partner in both romance and crime investigation.

However, when the police arrive on the crime scene, Detective Grace warns her not to investigate a murder case, again. But Leila trusts her instincts and resolves to prove Steve’s innocence, at least of murder.

As an artist, Leila is convinced that bodies have a story to tell. Unauthorized, Leila observes Susie’s autopsy—and the body reveals an enigmatic clue:

Susie died on a bed of long-stemmed roses.

Steve begs Leila to help him—swearing he has evidence that Susie’s killer is a suspect in a cold case in Kansas. Leila confronts the suspect, stealing a possible clue—an arrowhead.

Tracking the trail of blood and revenge from Cape Cod to a Native American casino in Kansas, a ritualistic murder reveals a cold case killer—and a deadly secret from Leila’s past.

If you’re a fan of Lisa Gardner and Karin Slaughter, you’ll love Death In Smoke.

Death In Vermilion

The Cape Mysteries, Book 1

A psychological mystery about art and obsession…

Leila Goodfriend is laying down the bones of a painting. When interrupted by Iris, the noisy, unlikeable artist in the studio upstairs, Leila is distracted and annoyed.

When she discovers the racket was actually Iris’ dead body hitting the floor, Leila becomes obsessed: Who murdered Iris?

The other Red Barn Cooperative artists—competitive, jealous and hypocritical—are prime suspects. They all hated Iris. “An artist owes his life to his art,”Iris said.

Iris was good for a laugh. But no one is laughing now.

In this gripping mystery, new author Barbara Elle paints a clever and twisted picture of women and sisters, whose lives are entwined by a brutal murder in a charming Cape Cod town.

Alibis fall apart. Plot twists multiply. And Leila comes to a dangerous conclusion.

EXCERPT:

Someone in your pack is rabid?” Henry asks, his face and Amoss both equally horrified.

Yes,” I answer for Calvin when he turns away to wipe his damp face with the collar of his tee.

Is the pack going to put him down?” Amos questions Calvin, who shakes his head. Why the hell not?” he grumbles.

We voted on it, and almost everyone said no, to leave it up to someone else. Right or wrong, whoever ends his life will be shunned in the pack by the rest of the wolves. They may as well put the gun to their head when its over!”

Henry is already shaking his head when he gets to his feet. No, Lena!” I take a step back as he comes closer. Frowning after I retreated from him, he stops advancing. You have to let someone else go after the wolf!”

I didnt take the job,” I assure him. His parents came to me tonight. They want me to track him down so they can see if the vaccine is working.”

Nothing will save him now, not even a vaccine,” Amos says gravely. Sorry, Calvin, but a quick death is the best the wolves can hope for now. Thats the only option before he infects other shifters and starts killing humans.”

Youre sure?” I ask him.

Yes!” Henry and Amos both adamantly agree.

Well, who is going to be able to handle taking on something like this?” I ask the shifters. The police sure as hell cant.”

I honestly dont know,” Henry replies, hands on his hips in thought, drawing my attention to the scratches again. Maybe I can talk to my dad about getting a bounty hunter from out of town to come in and track him. Itll need to be a sniper, though, someone who doesnt have to get close to kill him.”

I wince as I glance over at the still-pale Calvin, who walks out of the locker room without another word.

You guys could be a little more sympathetic around him,” I tell the alphas as I start to back away. What if it was someone in your pride, Henry, or your sleuth, Amos?”

Sorry, Helena,” Amos mutters.

Yeah, Im sorry too, Lena,” Henry agrees. But this isnt your problem. The shifters will handle it. A rabid wolf would tear you into pieces, sweetheart.”

Zachariah ‘Doc’ Keiffer was raised to go after his dreams.

Successful career in the army—check.

Beautiful girlfriend—check. Everything was going to plan—until it wasn’t.

Injured and medically discharged with a girlfriend unable to accept his injuries, Doc turned to

the people and place he knew where he had a chance to be part of a brotherhood again.

Finally, he once more had a purpose—with the Wounded Souls MC. Life was going well until

she happened. His dream.

Meagan Steel was born to be a princess. Growing up as the daughter of the Wounded Souls

VP, she never doubted she was loved and adored. Her MC family was everything to her, she

loved them beyond measure, but there was always something missing. Meagan wanted

what her beloved parents had together, and she wanted it with the newly appointed

president of the Wounded Souls Queenscliff chapter.

Doc wanted her, that much Meagan knew. Transferring closer to the new compound,

Meagan knew the risks she was taking. Doc had more troubles than just his new position,

his life was complicated, to say the least. Not only that, she may not live long enough to get

that first kiss she had been dreaming about, once her father finds out his firstborn is lusting

after a biker.


About Leah Sharelle:

Leah Sharelle loves the idea of being in love. Since her early teens when she first

discovered Silhouette Desire novels, her life has been all about reading. She would find

herself rewriting scenes if she wasn’t happy with them and then would hide them under her

bed. That led her to writing love stories of her own. They all ended up under her bed and are

still there – where she says they will stay.

Living in Victoria, Australia, Leah is a mum of three beautiful girls, Gigi to her adorable

grandchildren, and she has what some say is a weird sense of humour. She spends her free

time watching movies, having Sons of Anarchy and Friends marathons, and or course

reading. She doesn’t do angst. In fact, it drives her crazy. She loves Pina Coladas and

getting caught in the rain. There’s that weird humour.
