EXCERPT
Her head shot up, and he stood before her. “Hello, Evie.”
Her hand lifted as she moved it toward him, expecting it to
pass through. When she touched his warm chest, she jerked back.
He captured it in his hand. “Aye, I’m real, Evie.”
He brought her hand to his lips and brushed the back,
kissing her. Tingles shot from her hand to her heart. Only one person affected
her that way. Aodhán.
His grin grew as he lowered her hand. “I’ve been away, and
for that, I am sorry. But I’m finally freed. Free to revisit the human realm.”
Tears gathered in her eyes as he gazed into her eyes, her
heart. Her Fae love, Aodhán, stood before her and held her hand.
“Evie, please let me make up my absence to ye. Let me show
ye new hope and erase all doubt about yer feelings for me.”
She whimpered as a tear fell. “Aodhán?”
His hand came up and caught her tear. He rotated his palm
and held it open, presenting a clear gemstone shaped like a teardrop.
Handing it to her, he whispered, “I can only stay a moment,
but tomorrow I shall come to ye. I’m glad ye kept the sphere. I heard yer call
every time. No more tears, Evie.”
He brushed a kiss on her lips. “Look for me tomorrow night
in yer dreams. Don’t lose hope.”
Aodhán faded from her view.
Evie blinked. She turned around once, scanning the area. No
one was about.
She turned again, calling out, “Hello?”
No one appeared on the street.
She pulled her camera up and pressed the button. Aodhán’s
smiling face and ethereal glow came into view. Proof he’d visited and she’d not
seen a ghost.
Her fingers brushed her tingling lips at the promise of
tomorrow night.

Guest Post:
Why I feel my book is a “must read”.
What is said about my writing: Margaret
Izard is renowned for crafting characters who are both flawed and
fascinating. In her latest addition to the steamy time travel series, Stone
of Doubt, readers will meet individuals grappling with internal conflicts
and external challenges, making their journeys resonate on a deeply human
level.
What readers have said about this next release: The
narrative keeps you guessing. Just when readers think they’ve figured it all
out, unexpected turns will invite them to re-examine their
assumptions—mirroring the book’s central theme of questioning certainty. Stone
of Doubt isn’t just a story; it’s an exploration of how doubt and
certainty shape our lives. As readers navigate the intertwined threads of
romance, suspense, and self-discovery, they’ll find themselves reflecting on
their own experiences and beliefs.
She’s a human with Fae powers—and two men who want her.
One dark and devilish, the other her long-lost love. Which path will Evie
choose?
Evie MacDougall, you met in book 3, Stone of
Hope. She’s Breille and Colin MacDougall’s daughter with Fae powers who

again, she had graduated college and had not seen her Fae crush since. She

his power to fight for their love, even risk his own destiny.
Manix Skene Evie admired from afar since he
transferred to her college three months prior. He’s a drama major who prefers
goth like her and carries a darkness about him that all the girls find
irresistible. When Manix invites her to his estate for a masked ball, she

he was everything a girl desired, or was he?
