Spirit of the Revolution
by Debbie

BLURB:
Only
divine intervention could have guided Jolena Leigh Michaelsson to the doorstep
of a ramshackle manor in Pennsylvania, bringing her face-to-face with the man
she has waited her whole life to find. There is just one problem. Mathias
McGregor died two centuries ago…
Mathias,
Revolutionary War ranger and spy, battles his conscience and his heart when he
finds himself falling for the beautiful violinist invading his home. Jolena is
mortal and deserves far more than what he as a spirit can offer her.
When
Jolena’s family motto leads them to unearth a valuable coded message—the very
message Mathias died trying to deliver to General Washington—Jolena vows to
unravel the mystery surrounding the cryptic document. But someone else wants
the message, and he’ll stop at nothing to get it, not even murder.
Divine
intervention brought them together—will it also allow them to find forever?

EXCERPT
Mathias
sat back in the chair behind the desk and fastened his gaze on the framed
picture of Jolena and her parents. They stood near a river, lush with trees in
the background. Jolena positioned herself just behind them with the wind
blowing freely through her hair. She placed a hand on each of their shoulders,
and they all smiled happily for the camera. She looked so beautiful.
“It’s
all right to love her, you know,” Sam said, as he appeared inside the library,
seated askance in the leather chair across from the desk.
“Be
it right or wrong, I’m afraid there’s not much choice left in the matter, Sam,”
Mathias replied. “But in case you didn’t notice, Jolena is a vibrant, mortal
woman.”
Samuel
merely scoffed at the statement, shook his head, and sniffed. “Insignificant
details. Mortality is naught but a fleeting thing. Here today and gone
tomorrow. We’ve personally seen how quickly it comes and goes ourselves. And
not only with our own mortal existence. Think of the generations of your own
kin who lived out their entire lives from birth to death, right here in this
house. Why, if not for calendars, newspapers, and now the television, we would
have no idea the time or the century.”
