Mary tell us a little about Wishes Under A Highland Star.
As chieftain for his clan, Alex MacFhearguis struggles with the burden of an unwanted responsibility. With the midwinter feast approaching, he flees his castle to find comfort and solitude within the forest. Yet on his quest, Alex stumbles into a world filled with magic, mysteries, and a woman with beguiling eyes who could capture his heart.
When half-Fae Aine Fraser makes a powerful wish, her simple request unlocks the magic she possesses and brings forth a Highlander into her world. Though the man has lost all his memories, she finds her attraction growing for this brooding warrior with each passing day. Unable to deny her feelings, Aine risks everything when she confesses her greatest secret.
Can a beauty who wished for a champion tame the beast of Leòmhann Castle?

“Ready for the battle, Holly King!” bellowed Keegan, displaying his sword in the air.
“For the love of the Goddess,” protested Aine, shaking her head.
“Now?” asked a stunned Alex, watching while others from the castle followed behind the man, each carrying a holly or oak branch.
“Let the man finish his meal before ye condemn him to his death!” she shot back over her shoulder.
Her brother pointed to the newly risen sun with his blade. “First challenge of the day—slay the Holly King and feast with the arrival of the Oak King!”
Alex placed a hand over the hilt of his sword. “Should I be worried?”
“Nae,” drawled Eamon, folding his arms over his chest. “However, one can never tell when Keegan judges the rules require changing.”
“Often to his advantage,” complained Aine, giving her brother a scornful look.
Alex muttered a curse. Unwrapping the bundle in his hand, he took a huge bite of bread and cheese. Shoving the remainder back to Aine, he unsheathed his sword.
Eamon removed the skin attached to his belt. “Here. A swallow of ale before your battle.”
Alex coughed, almost choking on his food. He nodded his thanks while taking the offering. After slaking his thirst, he wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and promptly returned the ale skin to Eamon.
Keegan approached and tapped the ground with his blade. “Let this challenge to the death begin near the oak tree by the stream. Time for the reign of the Holly King to end.”
A chorus of boisterous voices echoed around them. Eamon waved and shouted for the crowd to follow him along the path to view the battle.
Understanding his demise would be swift, Alex was determined not to die without a good and proper fight. He gestured outward to Keegan. “Lead the way.”
Aine reached for his hand. She gave him a hard squeeze, and then darted a glance at her brother and his group of followers as they ambled toward the stream. “His left arm is the commanding and strongest,” she uttered softly. “He will do his best to draw blood from ye.”
Touched by her concern, Alex lowered his head near her ear. “Ye can kiss my wounds later.”
When he drew back, she rewarded him with a wink before joining the others.
