Billionaire shipping magnate Rhys McCaim and his three younger brothers think their father is losing his mind from grief since their mother's sudden disappearance five years ago. There's no way she could actually be a displaced time traveler, snatched back to her own time in medieval Scotland. But when their father winds up in a coma, Rhys and his brothers start looking into their dad's time travel theories and notes more seriously, even testing out a chant themselves. When Rhys suddenly finds himself in 13th century Scotland, he can't deny the truth of his father's ramblings any longer. Now he's an oddball highlander in a country on the edge of war and he knows he must return to his own time with all due haste, but first his must find his mom. Rhys finds the perfect guide in the beautiful Maggie, but he knows he can't lower his guard or allow himself to be distracted, despite the exceptionally new draw he feels toward her.
Lady Margaret Irvine is betrothed to a rather despicable English baron who only wants her castle. Though she doesn't wish to, Maggie must marry him to restore some of her family's good name and ensure better lives for her brother and sister. She's resigned herself to a life of loneliness and an unhappy marriage, but when a handsome stranger literally pops up out of thin air, all her plans are thrown awry. To save his life, Maggie must risk everything and take a path that will render her future very uncertain. This risk becomes even more real as she begins to fall for Rhys and dream of a new future with him, only to learn that the truth of him is even more complicated than she could've ever dreamed. With Rhys' knowledge they could potentially rewrite Scotland's bloody history, but only if he can bring himself to let Maggie in and doing so will leave him even more torn between his family and his heart's desire.
I couldn't put this book down. This was great writing and the pace was very fast, with enough stress to keep me invested (maybe too much so at times!). Rhys was a fantastic hero and I think Maggie was a great compliment to him. I can't wait for the other brothers' stories.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
