Friday Feast Returns | Eve's Faerie Cakes


Welcome back to Friday Feast! Delighted to open the doors to the tavern!


Since I’m celebrating “Christmas in July” this month, I’d like to share a recipe from a dear character in one of my stories. Eve Brannigan (A Magical Highland Solstice) has graciously agreed to giving us another one of her delicious recipes. Look for more special surprises from the other ladies in my Highland Holiday Romances this month!


Let’s take a peek at A Magical Highland Solstice


Laird Cormac Murray has witnessed how love destroyed his own father after the death of his mother, and he vows to never take a wife. Yet, when he comes upon a bewildered lass traveling alone, he finds his heart will no longer listen to his mind. In the end, Cormac risks everything to claim the love of a woman not of his time.


Eve Brannigan loves helping others and baking. After winning a contest, she is stunned to learn that the Clan Murray has requested her assistance to cater to their guests during the holiday season. When a lost path in Scotland leads her to a handsome but gruff Highlander, Eve fights the temptation to allow love to enter her heart for the first time.


Can the Fae and the magic of the Yule season bring together two souls who have forsaken love? Or will tragedies from the past separate the lovers forever?
