In Due Time - A Novella by Bethany Claire

In Due Time - A Novella by Bethany Claire

Everything happens in its time.

For Jeffrey Oakes, life in the seventeenth century hasn't been the thrilling change of pace he hoped it would be. The lack of power tools, better hygiene, and cold beer has him yearning for the luxuries of his modern-day life. It might all be bearable if he had someone to maneuver the cultural differences and minimal conveniences with-someone with whom he could make a life. But among the Scottish countryside, with women so different from himself, he knows his chances of finding such a woman are small. If only Morna could work her magic for him like she has done for so many others.

Kathleen Carter's life is changing. With enough money now saved to fulfill her dream of restoring the castle she inherited, her job as housemaid is coming to an end. All she wants now is for moving day to arrive so that she can get to Scotland. She knows she'll have no time for much of a personal life for the next few years, but that's okay-the ruined castle will take all of the love and attention she has to give. Or so she thinks.

Little does she know that a move isn't the only big change life has in store for her and that perhaps her dreams might include more than devoting her life to a big, empty castle.

As if she were delivering life-saving knowledge, she told fairytales. As she grew older, she began to write her own stories, but she hid them away and went off to college, sure that following a traditional career route would be best for her. After four years and around six big changes, she understood the stories were no longer going to be buried away. She was six months away from graduating with a degree in Elementary Education, and she was becoming increasingly unhappy with each passing day that drew her closer to a career she didn't want. She finally understood that the one career that would make her happy was writing. Thus, in the middle of a summer education class, she got up and headed to the Registrar's office, where she immediately withdrew from the university.

She has since dedicated herself to full-time writing and is pursuing her aspirations. Bethany is the author of the Morna's Legacy Series of Scottish time-travel romance novels, which includes Love Beyond Hope, Love Beyond Reason, and her debut novel, Love Beyond Time. She and her two faithful and perfect dogs live in the Texas Panhandle. Visit Bethany's website at www.bethanyclaire.com to learn more about her.
