Synopsis
Magic brought her to the past. Love might make her stay. Elise MacFinnan has never been one to play by the rules. A free-spirited witch with a love of adventure—and streaks of pink in her hair to prove it—she’s always chased the next thrill. But when the sea goddess Lir sends her hurtling back to fifteenth-century Scotland, Elise discovers that the most dangerous adventures are those of the heart. Jamie Donald, Lord of the Isles, has fought his whole life to keep his people free. Now pirates ravage his shores, his allies question his strength, and betrayal brews in the dark waters surrounding his home. So when the goddess Lir offers him help, the last thing he expects is a sharp-tongued witch who refuses to follow his orders—or the fire she sparks in his guarded heart. Thrown together by fate, Elise and Jamie must uncover who’s truly behind the raids threatening his lands. But as danger closes in and passion flares between them, the lines between duty and desire blur. To save the Isles, Jamie must learn to trust the woman who upends his world… and Elise must decide if love is worth breaking every rule she’s ever lived by. In a world where freedom has a price and love can rewrite history, can a modern witch and a Highland laird claim a future of their own?
