About this ebook

Single-and-pregnant museum worker Melanie voices an idle wish while examining a Scottish artifact, that a Highland warrior would sweep her off her feet and help her forget her cheating ex. The last thing she expects is for her wish to be granted. Magically transported to the middle of a clan skirmish in the sixteenth-century Highlands, she comes face to face with her kilted fantasy man.

Tall, handsome, and heir to his uncle’s lairdship, Darcy Keith should be the most eligible bachelor in Ackergill. Instead, thanks to a prank played on him in his teenage years, he is known for being too large under his kilt to ever make a proper husband. “Big Darcy” runs his deceased father’s windmills and lives alone at his family manor, believing he will never marry.

But a strangely dressed woman he rescues from a clan skirmish makes him long for more. When the woman’s claims of coming to Ackergill by magic reach the laird’s ears, she is accused of witchcraft. Darcy determines to protect her any way he can, even if it means binding her to him forever.

Subjects include Highland Romance, Highlander Romance, Scottish Romance, Historical Romance, Fantasy Romance, Time Travel Romance, Time-Travel Romance

Ratings and reviews

Good quick read for those suffering from "Droughtlander". Likeable characters and fun story (although for me the ending felt a little rushed). Formatting of the Google Play epub version is poor and random paragraph breaks in the middle of sentences kept pulling me out of the story.

I don't like modern romance but I love stories that begin today and go back in time especially to historical Scotland. I really like a story where the person decides to stay in the past. The characters were well developed and many of them would be great for a book of there own. I look forward to reading the next book in this series.

Enjoyed reading about Melanie and Darcy. I love time travel romance books and this book kept my attention...couldn't put it down.

About the author

Jessi lives with her husband and children in the Seattle area. She’s a passionate reader of all genres of romance, especially anything involving the paranormal. Ghosts, demons, vampires, witches, weres, faeries...you name it, she’ll read it. As for writing, she's sticking to Highlanders and contemporaries with a paranormal twist (for now). The last time Jessi imagined a world without romance novels, her husband found her crouched in the corner, rocking.
