Sweet Romance

The story of Ana and Mac. She's a 14th century lady, he's a 21st century football player. Ana, desperate for her mother's release from her evil stepbrother, uses a spell to conjure a champion. Thinking she will get the great Irish Warrior Cuchulainn, she instead gets a 21st century professional football player. The two are instantly attracted to each other. Mac agrees to help her champion her mother and she agrees to train him in the ways of sword play and jousting. Together they travel to Edinburgh for the tournament. I liked this book and read it in an afternoon. I thought it was a sweet romance with a fun story. I'd recommend it!
