Moira Sinclair travels to Iona on a whim, only to find that there is no place for her to stay as all the rooms were booked in advance for Samhain.  As the last ferry leaves the dock, she’s stranded on the island for the night.  When she stumbles upon individuals performing a ritual, all is not as it seems and the truth might be too spectacular to accept. 

When a lad intrudes upon his ritual, Aedan, is convinced he’s a spy and is forced to stop the ritual.  When the lad turns out to be a lass, his plans are changed once again. 

Together, Moira and Aedan must figure out what is real and what is not and determine what the magic of Samhain means.

Ritual Love is an endearing story.   Moira’s search for happiness is heart wrenching but the magic she finds will give faith to all.  Aedan is a strong, proud man, firmly entrenched in the beliefs of his ancestor’s.  Kate Davies has brought together two very special individuals in this touching love story that is bound to leave you with a smile on your face.  I highly recommend reading this wonderful story.
