The Teacher and the Highlander
(2026)(The first book in the Time Crossed Highland Hearts series)
A novel by Debra Chapoton
She vanished in a storm… and woke in another century.
Jane Merritt is a quiet schoolteacher in 1954 Michigan—devoted to her students, her younger sister, and the faith that guides her life.Then one violent storm changes everything.
A blinding flash of lightning tears Jane from her world… and she awakens on a rugged Scottish hillside in the 1700s.
Now Jane is trapped in a dangerous century where:
- clans feud with swords
suspicion falls on strangers
and a woman with strange ideas can easily be called a witch
The only man standing between her and the clan’s growing fear is Laird Gavin Buchanan—a battle-scarred Highlander who has little patience for mysterious women who challenge his authority.
Yet Jane refuses to stay silent.
She begins teaching the children to read.
Organizing the women.
And quietly changing the life of the clan in ways no one expected.
Especially Gavin.
But Jane’s sudden arrival has stirred something far more dangerous than gossip.
A ruthless rival laird sees her as the perfect weapon to ignite an old feud—and he will stop at nothing to destroy Buchanan Hall.
As danger closes in, Jane and Gavin must choose between fear and faith… vengeance and mercy.
Because the storm that carried Jane across centuries may have brought her for a reason.
And the God who sent her there may be writing a love story neither of them expected.
Return to the life she lost…
or stay in the Highlands with the laird who has captured her heart.
