Maddie took Anson’s hand, her face as radiant as the morning sun. “Thank you, thank you, thank you.” She whirled around and skipped for the door. “I can’t wait to tell Lily. She’ll be so excited.”
As the red-headed whirlwind disappeared into the hallway, Moira rose and skirted the desk. She snuggled in Anson’s arms. “Thank you for agreeing to sponsor Maddie. I’ve never seen her so excited.”
“She’s quite the negotiator. She knows what she wants and goes after it.” A steady blue gaze poured over her. “Just like another Seaton House orphan I know. Am I still a stepping-stone for your career, my darling?”
“Stepping-stone? Oh no. You are my rock and the love of my life.”

Magic in Her Eyes
by Donna Dalton
Meredith Talbot has a secret. In fact, she has nine secrets – her own and those of the eight orphans at Seaton House, a home for children. Each of them has a special talent that if exposed would get them labeled as witches. It is her responsibility to protect the children and their secrets and keep them safe from persecution. Marauding Indians force them into a nearby fort where their safety is threatened by fanatical townspeople and a captivating army officer who try to unmask the children's extraordinary abilities.
Lieutenant Preston Booth has one goal – to serve and protect his country. The military is the only life he has ever known. It’s the only life he wants. When a child is abducted and Preston goes after the culprit, Meredith has a vision of what will happen to him.
Does she risk everything by exposing her gift? Or keep her secret and risk losing him forever?
