Kiss Me, I'm Irish
by Bella Street
Price: $2.99 USD. 90670 words. Published on April 18, 2011. .
In 1813, Emily Musgrave is heading to a convent for misbehavior. But it was due to loneliness, not rebellion. In modern-day Tennessee, Liam Jackson is playing his Dobro in seedy bars and it's doing nothing for his music career--and even less for the dark places in his soul. Pixie mischief can not only change timelines, it can change hearts. Because every girl needs a little magic in her life.
