In 2019, Aidan is a kilt-wearing tour guide on the cobblestone streets of Edinburgh. In 1919, Saoirse is a Great War nurse who's got nothing left to live for - until the sea brings a naked, unconscious man to her feet.

Not one easily shocked after caring for the most broken of men in France, Saoirse takes the stranger in and tends to his wounds. Except the man is all kinds of unusual and she begins to question whether he even is a man at all. Is the grief driving her mad or is there more to the world than she ever thought possible?

Saoirse hopes to find answers in her Aunt Aoife's diaries, since the gentle giant she rescued from the sea has no recollection of how he ended up there in the first place.

Twelve years later, she wants to go visit her mother in New York but the visit becomes five years. Samantha, now seventeen and certainly not a tomboy anymore, is ready to go back to Ohio, to her family and friends, but mostly to her father. No one expects her, though, to come back looking like a a new person. But looking like a goddess does not change the fact that she is still mateless and also next in line for the Alpha position, a huge responsibility. Noah Black has lived in Ohio for as long as he can remember, with his six brothers and father. His mother died giving birth to her youngest son, Thresh. Noah has always been the one to pull pranks and tease Samantha, making her life miserable as they grew up together. When she left, there was no one else to annoy, but now, five years later, when Noah hears that she is coming back, he thinks that she is still that same tomboy who can't stand up for herself. He has become even more of a badboy now, loving all the trouble and the girls that throw themselves at him. And yes, he is mateless and, just because his older brother passed it down, is next in line for the Alpha position. So what happens when they meet again, five years later, more grown and more mature? Is there hatred between them, still? And what happens when they both realize they are connected in ways they never could've dreamed of? Suck at summaries, give it a chance, y'all! :)
