About this book

When Gwen tumbles into a hidden Highland cave, she discovers something far more extraordinary than a tourist attraction—a devastatingly handsome warrior who's been asleep for five centuries. Drustan needs to return to his own time to save his people from a dark fate, and somehow, this modern woman from the future is the key to his mission. What starts as an irresistible connection becomes a time-defying love story when Gwen finds herself swept back to sixteenth-century Scotland, where danger lurks and a warrior will risk everything to protect her. This is a sweeping, passionate romance that perfectly blends paranormal intrigue with the thrill of star-crossed lovers fighting against impossible odds.
