The trauma Brianna suffered as a hostage negotiator in Chicago haunts her even as she moves on with her new life and career, taking a romantic trip to Scotland with her boyfriend. But when she catches him cheating and flees, she finds herself lost in a thick fog and ultimately at the Weatherby Manor, hundreds of years in the past and amid a tumultuous time. Initially reluctant to believe Weatherby’s story about time travelling women of the clan, when Robert MacClaren arrives to negotiate with the Lord and claims she’s the reincarnation of his dead love, she’s forced to address the fact that this is all very real. So is the growing unrest between the refugees seeking assistance after a crop failure and Lord Weatherby.
Silver-tongued Robert does his best to quell the tension between the two groups and also convince Brianna of their fate together, and she finds herself falling for the handsome bard while they’re on the brink of war. When the manor is attacked, Brianna must utilize her skills to aid Robert and also face the fact that while their lives are in danger, they’re also inexplicably intertwined.
