Isla Mackall has no intention of becoming anyone’s wife. After losing the man she loved, the fiercely independent, sword-wielding Highland lass has sworn never to risk her heart again. She would much rather face an enemy with a blade than surrender her freedom to marriage.
But Laird Aleck Sinclair has other ideas. Captivated by the fiery woman who refuses to be tamed, he is determined to win her heart – even if Isla seems equally determined to keep him at arm’s length.
Everything changes with the mysterious arrival of a child from the future. The little girl awakens a tenderness in Isla she never knew she possessed, drawing her and Aleck closer than either expected.
But the child belongs five hundred years in the future, and she has been sent to them for protection from a dangerous man who wants her for his own evil purpose.
Now Isla and Aleck must fight together to protect the child who has stolen their hearts – and Isla must decide whether loving again is worth the risk of losing everything.
Perfect for fans of Outlander, sweeping time-travel romance, and swoon-worthy Highland love stories. Featuring a fierce warrior heroine, a protective Highland laird who falls first, found family, an ancient sword, dangerous magic, and a love powerful enough to defy time.
