Katriona Hughes has no idea how she ended up in sixteenth-century Scotland, but she’s beginning to suspect the mysterious emerald she uncovered at an archaeological dig may hold the answer. Desperate to return to her own time, Kat is betrayed by the first person she meets and forced into marriage with a loathsome stranger. Now she’s running for her life – only to cross paths with a handsome Highlander. But trusting another man is the last thing she intends to do.
Nick Mackall is thrilled to finally be back in his beloved Scotland after accidentally being transported to twenty-first-century San Francisco and spending two long years there. All he wants is to return to his home and family, but his journey takes an unexpected turn when he encounters a mysterious young woman fleeing a dangerous husband – and an old enemy resurfaces with deadly plans of his own.
Now Nick must earn Kat’s trust if he hopes to keep her safe … and stop an old enemy whose quest for a powerful ancient sword threatens them all.
Stranded in a time that isn’t her own and hunted by those who would use her for their own ends, Kat must decide whether to keep searching for a way home, or trust the Highlander who is giving her a reason to stay …
