I can hear his breath labor, whispering in my ear- I try to pull away, but feel compelled to be in his embrace at the same time. "Lass, you dona know how long I've waited to be here, with ye" He kisses me hungrily, and bites at my bottom lip, sending shivers up my spine, igniting every cell in my body. My heart tells me to stay away, but I am lost in this moment to him, and honestly, I don't want to go back.
21 year old Brynna Collins is tired of her life in New York City. So when her parents give her plane tickets to Scotland, she can't wait to leave and enjoy a vacation in the highlands. What Brynna didn't expect was to find herself over 800 years in the past- with no way of ever getting home. She didn't expect to find herself in over her head for someone who she couldn't possibly have. She didn't expect to adjust to the customs, and she most certainly didn't expect a certain someone to make his way into her heart, breaking down all of the barriers that she promised never to let go of.
25 year old Jamie McLaird wasn't looking for love. Ever since his wife-to-be was murdered in front of him, he swore to never love another woman again. That all changed when he saw a fiery red haired lass in the fields, unconscious, on his way back home from hunting. Grief stricken, remembering what had happened in his past, and not wanting her to catch her death, he takes the girl back to his castle. What Jamie didn't expect was to fall for this mysterious woman. With her red hair as hot as her temper, she isn't like most girls in Scotland. Who was she- and why is this lass making him want her in this way? Ever since the loss of his wife, Jamie begins to love again. But everything comes with a price, and love is the most powerful price to pay of all.
