About this book

A vengeful fairy rips Adrienne straight out of modern-day Seattle and drops her into sixteenth-century Scotland, where she's immediately coerced into marriage with Hawk—a legendary warrior whose reputation in both battle and the bedroom precedes him. Adrienne is determined to keep her distance from this dangerously charismatic rogue, but Hawk is utterly captivated by her boldness and decides he'll stop at nothing to win her heart and have her begging for his touch. What unfolds is a delicious clash between a woman desperate to return home and a man willing to move heaven and earth to keep her, all while neither of them can deny the sizzling chemistry burning between them. This is the kind of sweeping time-travel romance that will have you swooning over a brooding Highlander and rooting for a heroine who refuses to make it easy for him.

A collision of centuries and desire—Scottish medieval warrior energy meets modern defiance. Ethereal fae magic swirling with raw, smoldering tension. Think folk-tinged indie, moody Celtic atmospheres, and sensual R&B undertones. Yearning, danger, and irresistible chemistry wrapped in mist and fate.
