Riona Willow has known darkness and refuses to ever be helpless again.
When this modern day warrior woman lands in 12th century Scotland, things are bound to go awry. But with her delinquent brother and oblivious twin sister in tow, Ri will have a tough enough time finding a way home, let alone keeping them alive long enough to make the journey.
Shaw Logan has faced great adversity and works to protect his people and their lands.
When a strange, otherworldly beauty saves his life, nearly dying in the process, Shaw is determined to discover what could make such a bonnie lass learn to fight with the grace of an angel and the deadly force of the most skilled warrior. Her younger siblings are driving him crazy with their bickering and antics, while she herself frustrates him in an entirely different way.
The longer they spend together, the more Ri allows him in, and the closer Shaw comes to learning about her past. But her siblings are restless and afraid, even if they won't admit it, and as Ri begins to fall for Shaw, she starts to wonder if she really wants to go home after all.
Something lurks in the shadows, watching, waiting. A darkness threatens the happiness Ri and Shaw have found in each other and the life they might build together. Ri is getting closer to finding a way home, which will put her family out of danger, but if Ri and Shaw are to have a future in any century, they'll need to find this threat and eliminate it.
Dear Diary,
I can't write to you as often anymore. There's a man here, he tells us we must be leaving our home. I don't want to go, but I don't have a choice. I believe this man. He tells us we are in grave danger. He won't tell us why, but I believe following him blindly is better than any future Hunter and I have here. We are not to talk any belongings with us, so I mustn't write to you often; only when Hunter and Xavier sleep. Our moments will be brief, but entirely worth it.
We're traveling by foot across the land to the territory of our enemies. I'm frightened and I'm worried, but I know this will be good for us. I'd rather face the unknown than face the same day Hunter and I have lived ever since we arrived here.
Do wish us luck, and don't fret over me. I will keep you in my heart and thoughts and I'll dance with you in my dreams.
I love you, Diary.
One day, we will be together. We're closer now than we ever were. Please be patient.
Forever yours, Anabella
