There are no secrets that time does not reveal. - Jean Racine
It began with a dram of whiskey, rumored to be cursed, which took the life of a Scottish Highland heir in the 18th century on the day of his wedding- a curse that brought great tragedy to the MacLeod clan.
In modern-day Scotland, a single vial still exists. Eager to make a name for herself at a popular tourism magazine, Emma Webster accepts a dare from James Duncan, a dashing bartender, to take “just a sip” of the artifact. Her growing trust and affection for this stranger blinds Emma, as she brazenly agrees to taste the cursed whiskey. Before she knows it, Emma is sent spiraling back in time, finding herself just days before the fated MacLeod wedding.
Suddenly cast into the lands of the MacLeod clan, Emma must find her place in their world and learn who cursed the dram in the first place and why. With the MacLeods in danger, Emma has only a few days to befriend the Laird and his family, before the MacLeod clan is met with the tragedy that she learned about hundreds of years in the future.
But Emma isn't alone. As she begins to unravel bartender James' role in both her past and future Emma begins to question whether their meeting was chance... or destiny? And whether their budding relationship might be just the luck she needs to solve the mystery.

No Reservations: Ryan's Version (A Romantic Comedy)
And there she was, in the flesh. Her hair still dyed blonde, but curly again like when I saw her for the first time. She looked tired, cynical. Bored. And a little sad. I recognised these emotions instantly as it was the same way I'd been feeling for too long now. However, she was also still utterly beautiful and completely perfect, and the love I'd always harboured for her rushed back like a burst dam. Let's face it, it had never really went away. The dam may as well have even held back by some dubious duct tape. It had been leaking for years. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ He pretty much fell in love at first sight when he was 14 years old. 20 years later he's having to face the girl he fell for again . . . And he's not really coping well with it. You hopefully already know how it ends . . . But here's the chance to see Ryan's version of events. ❤️ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ***This novella is Ryan's side of the main relationship in "No Reservations". It therefore serves as a companion to the main book and would be best enjoyed as dessert after you've binged on the main. 😉***Lengkap

Princess of the Highlands Trilogy Book 1 ~~~ A TIME OF DARKNESS Six years since the Danes invaded Scotland, slaying her finest men.

The Lowlanders, weary of enemy rule, seek to free their stolen homeland. With the aid of a blind harper, they attempt to rescue their Highland princess when the Danes ride in on Lowlander territory, shattering the fragile peace.
