Highlander's Captive
(2020)(The first book in the Called by a Highlander series)
A novel by Mariah Stone
Two worlds. One love. An impossible choice that will break your heart.
Amy's life is in 2020. Her sister. Her job. Her safe, predictable future.
Craig's life is in 1307. War. Duty. A past he can't escape.
They should never have met.
When ancient magic pulls Amy through time and drops her into Craig's siege, neither believes in fate. She’s Search and Rescue, trained to trust logic. He’s a warrior who trusts steel. Romance? Not the plan.
But the King has other ideas, and suddenly they're handfasted—married for one year while Amy secretly searches for the stone that can send her home.
One year should be easy. Keep distance. Stay guarded. Don't fall.
They fail spectacularly.
Craig touches her like she's precious. Amy looks at him like he's home. He shows her medieval Scotland's beauty. She shows him what it means to be seen, scars and all.
Every sunrise pulls them closer. Every sunset reminds them: This ends.
When Amy finally finds the way back, her hand hovers over the stone. One touch, and she's back to the sister she loves, the life she built, the world that makes sense.
But Craig is holding her other hand, and letting go feels like dying.
Choose the past, lose her family. Choose the future, lose her heart. Some loves aren't meant to last. But this one might be worth staying for.
What if your soulmate lived in the wrong century?
