She’s a modern doctor. He’s a medieval Highland laird holding her captive. Could her love be the treasure he longs to claim?

Scotland, 2022. Celebrating with friends, pediatrician Jennifer Foster is more than a little tipsy when their boat breaks down near Achleith Island. Put ashore while they wait for the coastguard, Jenny discovers a rock with strange markings. Thinking it’s all a game, she high-fives the carved handprint and hurtles through time to the Middle Ages.

Scotland, 1313. Highland laird Aulay MacDonald is hunting an English treasure ship that could alter the course of the war. Passing near Achleith Island, he sees a woman waving her arms. Could she be a survivor of the shipwreck? Like one of his Viking ancestors, he throws her over his shoulder and returns to Dunyvaig Castle to question his hostage.

Jenny’s last chance at motherhood is a fertility appointment in two weeks. But the godlike Highland laird won’t let her leave. Worse, the more she sees of him the less she wants to go. Aulay hasn’t let a woman get close since his wife died. But the feisty physician could heal his heart—if he can trust her.

Can a woman desperate to return home and the man holding her prisoner claim a love strong enough to forge new dreams?
