A Highland warrior lost in time. A woman bound by duty. A love written in legend.

Colin MacDuff grew up on tales of time travel, true love, and a magical heirloom known as the Highland Jewel. But he never believed a word—until the day he finds himself flat on his back in the year 1648. Before him stands the most breathtaking woman he's ever seen...and she's not at all impressed.

Sera has long dreamed of escaping the Highlands like her sister before her. She's sworn never to be used as a pawn in a marriage alliance and vows only to wed for love. But when the mysterious, irresistible Colin appears out of nowhere, his touch awakens desires she can no longer deny.

Now, as passion ignites and danger closes in, Sera must decide whether to follow her head—or her heart. Because Colin is more than a man out of time...he may be the key to her destiny.
