Having survived a
near-death experience all Amadeus Tudor wants to do is escape to the countryside
of Scotland with his wife Zara so the two can have some much needed down time
together as a couple and work on rebuilding their relationship. Life for the
past couple of years, however has been “a long, strange trip (it’s been)”* for
the internationally acclaimed rock star, with no signs of
stopping. (*Grateful Dead -
Truckin')
But before the couple
can even get away, tragedy hits close to home forcing the couple into almost
delaying their new adventure. Grace Tudor, the family matriarch insists the two
embark on their new adventure and recommitting to each other
immediately.
The change of scenery
proves exactly what Amadeus needs to reboot his songwriting and his all
encompassing bond with Zara. Together they embrace their new adventure as
slowly Amadeus, with the guidance of music icon, Peter McNichol embarks on what
promises to be another notch in Amadeus’ career.
The road is full of twists and turns
for the pair as one moment finds them frolicking in the meadows outside
Edinburgh to the next learning the shocking and sinister side of one of Amadeus’
own brothers.

I closed the front
door and found Amadeus back in the kitchen helping himself to a huge slice of
the blackcurrant pie. He certainly had no problem finding the plates and
forks.
“Amadeus! I was going
to warm the pasties so we could eat first.”
“But I’m
starving.”
“So am I. Put it
down. I’ll heat up these pasties so we can eat. Why don’t you open the bottle of
wine. And put that pie down!”
“Mmm, okay,” he
mumbled as he crammed his mouth full of pie.
I walked over and
snatched the plate out of his hand, knowing full well he would eat the entire
piece while we waited for the main course. Fortunately for us, the pasties were
still fairly warm and I popped them into the microwave for a minute just to make
them hot.
I found a corkscrew
in a drawer and tossed it to him as I looked for a couple of wine glasses. I
took two out of the cabinet and walked them over to him. As I laid them down,
the buzzer on the microwave beeped letting me know the pasties were ready. I
plated them, grabbed a couple of forks and walked over to the kitchen table
situated along a cheerful large window. Amadeus quickly followed and placed a
glass next to me as he sat down across the table.
The food was good,
and we were both hungrier than we thought. We devoured all four of the pasties
before Amadeus was back at his slice of pie. My mind was still spinning with the
events of the day. It had been quite a long day for that matter, but I was too
keyed up for sleep.
Instead I got up,
gathered the dishes and put them in the dishwasher before I walked back over to
where Amadeus sat, still at the kitchen table. I began to massage his neck and
shoulders.
“How does that
feel?”
“God you’ve got good
hands. That feels wonderful.”
I knew beneath the
table Amadeus was hard as granite, the blood running like lava through his
veins, and I knew where this was going if I kept touching him.
I moved his hair to
one side and began kissing him against the nape of his neck and smiled as a
shudder rippled through him.
“Amadeus,” I cooed
softly, “would you like to check out our new bedroom?”
It was all the
encouragement he needed. Noisily he shoved back his chair and hauled me into his
arms. “Why go all the way upstairs to the bedroom, love?”

Jamie Salisbury cannot imagine a
time when she did not write. A skill that has served her well throughout her diversified
professional career that encompassed public relations in and around the
entertainment industry, photography, editing, and special event
planning.
An avid reader of history,
biographies, and romance it's only natural that she prefers to write romances with characters said to be
"so authentic they
spring forth from the page and
shake the reader's hand." No stranger to life threatening
situations Jamie pulls from life experience
when she creates her stories. Such as when her family had to escape Chile when she was a
teen because of the unstable political climate.
Finding herself
unable to walk great
distances as a result of several foot surgeries, she started writing once
again as a way to pass the time. With the completion of her first novel
Perpetual Love she dove head first into the eBook and digital publishing
paradigm. She couldn't be happier with her decision to grab the publishing
industry by the shoulders and force it to pay attention to all she has to
offer.
