Anastasia Ellis has spent her life being exactly the sort of person everyone depends upon. She arrives early, keeps her promises, remembers birthdays, and spends her days teaching third graders that kindness matters. At twenty-nine, her life is comfortable, predictable...and entirely ordinary. A long-awaited vacation to England is supposed to be the adventure of a lifetime. Instead, Anastasia finds herself hopelessly lost... in a world seven hundred years removed from her own.
After three months of English captivity, Highland laird Bram MacCailin finally wins the freedom he'd been willing to die for. Tortured for information he refused to give and condemned to hang in York, he escapes with little more than the clothes on his back, an iron shackle still locked about his wrist, and one desperate hopeto expose the man whose betrayal led his army into an ambush and branded Bram a traitor.
When Bram encounters a bewildered young woman alone in an English forest, every instinct tells him to keep running. She’s a stranger, a burden, and almost certainly the difference between freedom and the gallows, and he intends to leave her where she stands. Instead, some internal force compels him to take her with him.
With an entire kingdom poised on the edge of history, Bram and Anastasia are hunted by the enemy and forced into an uneasy alliance neither of them wants. He knows she is a burden he cannot afford, she’s pretty sure he’s the most infuriating man she has ever met, and both are certain they would be better off aloneuntil survival begins to look a great deal like trust. And while Bram is willing to risk his life to save Scotland, he soon discovers there is one thing he may value even more... the woman he could not bring himself to leave behind.
