The Highlander's Unwelcome Guest
About
She spent her academic career studying the Battle of Culloden. He lost his three brothers and his will to live on Drumossie Moor. Fate is about to bring them face to face.
On a pilgrimage to the Scottish Highlands battlefield, college lecturer Mariah Prescott kneels at the Clan MacDonell memorial marker and whispers a question only history can hear.
The Highlands answer by sending her back to the autumn of 1747.
Lachlan MacDonell is a laird who has been only half alive since the day Culloden took everything from him. Battle-scarred in body and heart, he has created a quiet, reclusive life within the walls of Blackthorn Tower where he exists alone with his grief. When an honorable act brings a bewildered, nearly blind woman into his care, Lachlan finds himself watching over her with a tenderness that startles what remains of his clan.
Mariah, lost without her glasses, is met at every turn by a Highlander who flinches from her touch yet is never far away. She's drawn to Lachlan and wants nothing more than to be at his side. But Lachlan knows in order to keep her safe from the English army occupying the Scottish glens, he must send her back to her time. Even if, especially if, she insists on staying.
The Highlander's Unwelcome Visitor is a stand-alone time travel romance of tender restraint and hard-won grace of a Highlander loved slowly back into the light, and the woman who traveled across three centuries to find him.
