About This Book
Modern-Day Woman Meets Southern Gentleman—130 Years in the Past in Witch Angel, an Enchanting Time Travel Romance from Trana Mae Simmons
Louisiana, 1875
Alaynia Marabeau leaves her Boston home in 2005, planning to restore the historic Louisiana plantation she inherited. Only to discover that when she arrives, Chenaie Plantation is in full glory in 1875 and owned by Shain St. Clair.
The plantation is also home to several ghosts, including Francesca, the golden-haired angel-in-charge, and her junior angel, Sylvia, a black angel, who enjoy the less stressful era of 1875.
Basil, the ghost of Shain's grandfather, wants only to protect Chenaie from invading Yankee carpetbaggers and prevents Alaynia from returning to her own time, believing she can help defend the plantation.
Despite their differences and growing attacks against the plantation, Alaynia grows less inclined to leave this 130-year-old Chenaie as her love for Shain deepens, despite friction over their differing views on men's and women's needs and abilities.
Shain is finally forced to realize that Alaynia is more than a simpering Southern belle, but the risk remains that she may devastate him by returning to her own time.
About the Author:
T. M. Simmons lives in a haunted house on the edge of the East Texas Piney Woods, which she and her husband share with various pets and paranormal residents. In between writing cozy mysteries and other stories, she delights in scaring herself silly during otherworldly encounters and visits haunted buildings and graveyards during dark and full moons. Her husband goes along sometimes to protect her from the bumps in the night, although he's been known to spy a ghost and retreat rather than confront it. She also pursues paranormal entities with her real-life Twila and Aunt Belle Brown, who are Lead Investigators of the Supernatural Researchers of Texas paranormal investigative team. SRT's motto is "Leave Peace Behind," and the team seeks to leave peace for the people who are dealing with troubled hauntings, as well as for the ghosts. Simmons is extremely willing to discuss her experiences with anyone she can corner.
