A Highlander Across Time

NYPD Detective Maria Saunders's ghost hunting vacation to Scotland takes a bizarre turn when she steps through a strange doorway in the ruins of a castle and finds herself thrust back in time. Confused and struggling to understand where and when she is, accusations of witchcraft follow her. The only one who believes her and seems to care about her plight is the handsome Laird Cameron.

Edith Davis thought she found love with her husband Gabriel, but discovers his controlling and abusive nature too late to prevent him from hurting her. While touring the ruins of the MacLeod castle, she flees from Gabriel and finds an open door to hide in, unaware it transports her back in time. When Gabriel follows her through the door and is caught by MacLeod guards, Edith tries to figure out what's happening and runs into Bran MacLeod, the Laird's cousin and Tanist.

Winning the trip to Scotland couldn't have come at a better time for poet Carissa Knox. The hopeless romantic has had her heart broken, and she wants nothing more than to find her soulmate. When she discovers a strange door and steps through it and back in time, she's thrilled at the possibilities—for life and love.

Already ragged and on-edge due to the unrest in the area, Captain of the guard Kieran MacLeod feels obligated to keep the troubling woman from the future who appeared in the castle safe—not only from the bandits attacking but also from her own reckless behavior. He isn't used to dealing with someone so strong or independent, and Sarah refuses to listen to him or his warnings, which leads to heated arguments and even hotter attraction.

Veteran member of the castle guard Liam MacLeod has a reputation as a local monster hunter, and the rash of deaths among his guardsmen leads him to believe an evil sidhe is responsible. When Ruth appears from the future and informs him the serial killer is very human, he's less than impressed with the time-displaced writer trying to tell him how to do his job.

Only, this time, the Scathach is leaving a trial of bodies in her wake.
