    About this ebook

    Rose Thorne doesn’t want much. She’d like a man to love and for village idiots to stop claiming she’s a witch. Just because she does a little magic doesn’t mean they need to burn her at the stake.
    On her way home after foraging for mushrooms, she’s assaulted by two local lechers. Her rescuer appears out of the mist—a tall, dark, handsome stranger with a mouth-watering body. Finally something in her miserable life is going right. Furthermore, her saviour turns out to be mute, so he can’t ruin things by saying something stupid.
    Can life get any better?

    Barbara Elsborg

    Barbara Elsborg lives in Kent in the south-east of England. She always wanted to be a spy, but having confessed to everyone without them even resorting to torture, she decided it was not for her. Volcanology scorched her feet. A morbid fear of sharks put paid to marine biology. So instead, she spent several years successfully selling cyanide.After dragging up two rotten, ungrateful children and frustrating her sexy, devoted, wonderful husband (who can now stop twisting her arm) she finally has time to conduct an affair with an electrifying plugged-in male, her laptop.Barbara's written around fifty novels, a mixture of MM, MMM and MF. They cover a whole range of genres - contemporary, paranormal, suspense, sci fi etc. She likes to write about quirky heroines, bad boys, and weird paranormal creatures, and she hopes her books are as much fun to read as they were to write.
