Far From Home: A Scottish Time-Travel Romance

Cora Bennett doesn't believe for a minute that the woman promising to move her through time is anything but a quack, or possibly only trying to sell her something. But Cora has read enough time–travel romances to have some pretty great expectations about her own storyline, once the promise becomes reality. And when she meets the bold and breathtaking Lucas Thain, she's even more excited. True, he's moody and unapproachable, pretty frightening for his sometimes seething fury, but Cora's not deterred. She's not leaving the 14th century until she knows at least one kiss from him. Lucas Thain doesn't know what to make of the strange lass with the peculiar speech, and he's beginning to regret coming to her rescue. He has only ever loved one woman-whom he has just rediscovered-but even he can't help but have his head turned by Cora Bennett, the lass who infuriates him as much as she intrigues him. When her life is threatened, Lucas realizes he will move heaven and earth, hoping he's not too late to save her or the love she once professed to him.

Holly Wright has been dreaming of the same man for years-and frankly, he might be the reason she's still single; no one can compare to the hot–bodied man of her dreams. Second only to her secret devotion to her fantasy guy is her love of Scotland. She's on her third trip now, with a fairly tight schedule, wanting to squeeze as much as she can into the next ten days. Falling through time and being forced to wed are not on her itinerary! Duncan MacQuillan has been reared to lead by example. Thus, he has no qualms about arranging a marriage between himself and his enemy's daughter if it will achieve peace in the Highlands. While he is stirred by the beauty of his bride as she appears at the altar, he is provoked by some wispy memory of her that says she is not quite who she pretends to be. Holly is beyond stunned to find that her intended groom is the very man from her fantasies, but she has no plans to speak her astounding time–traveling truth to him lest he leave her at the altar. He's impossibly fierce and more than a little intimidating but she believes him safer than the creeps pawning her off as their daughter and sister. When Duncan begins to believe a great deceit was perpetrated on their wedding day, he holds Holly accountable for the actions of his enemy, rejecting the unwanted and uncontrollable fascination with his new bride. Soon, he will be forced to choose between a love destined by time and the peace he's fought for years to accomplish.

Megan West's Scotland trip is not quite what she was expecting. Three days in and her lost luggage still hasn't arrived, and she's already decided her travel buddy, a co–worker she thought would be so easy to vacation with, is actually the most annoying person in the world outside of the hospital. When she stumbles upon a seriously handsome but really strange guy-who carries a sword at his hip!-she decides Scotland is not a good fit for her. If she had luggage, she'd pack it in and call it a day. Graeme MacQuillan knows the witch from his time purposefully sent him forward to another century, though he isn't exactly sure why. He strong–arms the first person he meets into helping him find his way home-without telling her the hardly credible truth, that he's from the 14th century. The bonny lass is justly terrified but helping is in her nature so even though she thinks he's daft, she's soon introducing him to all the astonishing sights and sounds of the 21st century. When Graeme senses a change in the air signifying the coming of witches, he instinctively takes hold of Megan's hand. He wants to get back to his time, but he's not ready to leave the beguiling lass behind. Undeniably, Megan's vacation just got a lot more interesting. But then her modern life, which she judged as teetering between dull and pathetic, suddenly seems quite preferable to the war and strife into which they're plunged. Megan is furious with Graeme, who had no right to drag her through time without asking. And now she faces the most important decision of her young life: does she want to return to her own time and never again know the sweet perfection of his kiss? Or is she brave enough to follow the hope in her heart?
