A Highland Chieftain

After a long captivity in England, dashing tartan-clad Rae MacKinnon returns to Dunraven Castle expecting to find a land torn by war, and a family divided by rivalries - not a mysterious woman who claims to be from a far-off time . . . the nineteenth century!

A Victorian Lady

An orphaned gentlewoman of marriageable age, Julia Hargrove has accompanied her aunts to a gala house party in Scotland. But her bedchamber in a castle reputed to be haunted becomes a place of disturbing dreams and wanton imaginings as a rugged Highland warrior suddenly materializes out of the shadows.

Irresistible drawn into the centuries-old secrets of Dunraven, Julia believes she has slipped through a portal to the long-ago past. Now she searches for the key to this strange destiny, determined to embrace a man and a love stronger than ancient rivalries, treachery, and all the rules of time . . .
