"Time travel, tarot, and fated love in the Highlands.
Jessa Tamson desperately needs a win. Her three-year relationship ended in heartbreak, her dream job evaporated, her car was stolen, and her rent just skyrocketed. She's about ready to tell the universe exactly where to go—until a strange tarot card dating app starts popping up on her phone. It's persistent, mysterious, and downright annoying, but when it promises an escape from her current mess of a life, she decides to take a leap of faith—and a flight to Scotland.
Grant MacAlester has no time for love—or meddling witches. It's been forty years since his clan barely survived the Jacobite uprising in 1746, and between smuggling runs and keeping the peace, he's got his hands full. The last thing he needs is old Mairwen and her apprentice scheming to marry him off again. His first marriage taught him one thing: women bring trouble.
But when Jessa suddenly lands in Grant's 18th-century Highlands—quite literally—everything changes. Their meeting isn't just a coincidence; it's the work of the immortals of Seven Cairns, who have declared them fated mates. Together, they hold the key to strengthening the Highland Veil, a mystical barrier protecting all creation from chaos.
Magic, time travel, and destiny can lead to wonderful things—if a person's brave enough to embrace them."
"While searching for his son, he finds something he never expected: a woman to love.
If only she didn't hate him . . .
Clan MacCoinnich is the only family Magnus de Gray has ever known. But when a message catches up with him five years too late, he discovers he has more family than he thought. He has a son. He's determined to find the boy and bring him home to Clan MacCoinnich.
Brenna Maxwell loved her sister Bree with all her heart, but if she could reach beyond the grave, she would shake her until her teeth rattled. All Brenna ever wanted was to be a healer and even convinced her cruel father to let her leave the keep for training. While on the run, her sister died bringing the babe into the world, leaving Brenna with the precious child to love and protect.
She spent years hating this man she had never met. But then he saved her life. And he's kind. And it turns out he's not a womanizer at all, but a quiet warrior who struggles to say what he really means. He's just a man who wants to take care of his son and make up for the past.
How can she hate a man like that? A man determined to make her love him?

"The fiercer the battle, the sweeter the spoils
Sutherland MacCoinnich flirts his way into the hardest hearts and most forbidden beds. All the ladies adore him. All except one. As lovely as she is infuriating, the daughter of Chieftain Greyloch barely gives him a passing glance. When she does, it's only to tell him he smells more like a horse than a Highlander. And to add insult to injury, the woman cost him a keg of fine whisky in a bet.
An enticing trinity of beauty, wit, and fire. She would be his. Forever.
If Sorcha Greyloch doesn't marry soon, she's sure to be the death of her father. Many a desirable suitor has come calling, but she has refused them all. She knows who she wants. She's loved Sutherland MacCoinnich since the first time he darkened her clan's door. But she's not about to tell him that until she has him on his knees. After all, most men share a particular trait. They're driven to possess what they think they can't possibly have.
The womanizer of Clan MacCoinnich is about to be tamed by the one woman he feared he would never win, but unexpected danger lurks in Castle Greyloch. A danger that threatens the dueling lovers' future.

"Ian Cameron knows he's cursed when it comes to women. His pregnant wife was murdered at the Glencoe massacre, and he barely survived the agony of her loss. Years later, he allowed himself a fondness for another. It wasn't love, but when she died, it pained him too. No way in hell is he about to set himself up for a third heartbreaking farewell. The only problem is convincing his kin. The meddlesome MacCoinnichs are trying their best to chain him to a lovely widow with three rowdy sons. Gretna is a fine lass, but he's not about to tie himself to her and her little hellions.
Independent Gretna Neal has already buried two husbands. She has no interest in burying a third. But if a handfasting for a year will silence the meddlesome matchmakers and shield her sons from more cruel rumors, she'll do it.
A mercenary cursed to spend his life alone. A skilled healer accused of witchery. Both at the mercy of friends and kin who decide what's best for the unlikely pair and turn out to be right.
The couple dares to embrace their connection; until a ghost from the past and a dangerous grudge threatens a chance at the happiness neither of them had ever hoped for again.

"When her father betrothed her to a duke, Isobel didn't worry because Alasdair swore he'd save her. But he didn't. Then word came her true love had succumbed to the plague. So, she married, and life became a living hell. Now she's on the run to protect her son from his father and she discovers Alasdair alive and well, and begging for the chance to keep the promise he made so long ago.

Life is cold and empty without his Isobel. He's resigned himself to a life alone until his brother Ian talks him into a visit to Edinburgh's gentleman's club, and the hostess answering the door is his precious Isobel.
Duchess Isobel Cuthbarten never forgot her dear Alasdair's oath: I'll never let another take ye. The precious promise burned like salt in an open wound every time her abusive husband forced himself upon her. Now she's escaped with her son, determined to make a new life. With any luck, she can soon save enough to escape to the Highlands. But then Alasdair walks through the door.

"So many things in the past she wants to escape—except one.
Satia St. Clair, a street smart, socially aloof microbiologist, is literally immersed in her research at a Highland loch when a crumbling ledge tosses her into its murky depths without her diving gear. The last thing she expects is for a fourteenth-century Scottish warlord to pull her to safety.
Not only does he save her, but Kane Macpherson half believes her to be a faerie queen. After all, myth and folklore surround An Lochan Uaine. But even when common sense wins out, something about the beguiling lass demands she be treated like the special woman he instinctively knows she is. And he swears to protect her from anyone or anything. Which could be a problem when she makes the mistake of sharing her otherworldly knowledge of events yet to happen, and it gets back to his liege, Robert the Bruce. Kane soon realizes the greatest danger to Satia is herself. He's in peril, too. Or at least, his heart is. Fae queen or not, this green-eyed beauty not only possesses the second sight, but the power to capture a man's heart and soul without even realizing it.

"Death by boredom is the only fate Duncan MacCoinnich fears. Years as a mercenary fed him the adventure he needed, but now the dull routines of his brother's keep are starving him for excitement. So, he offers his services to the ruthless smuggling lord, the MacDonald of Skye, and all is set—until the woman screams.
Independence and adventure are all Tilda Mackenzie wants, a tall order for the only child of the chieftain of Clan Mackenzie. Her duty is to marry and secure an alliance. But she'd rather work at her father's side, helping him build their smuggling empire and outmaneuver the bloody MacDonalds. She's fearless and canny and takes pride in bending her will to no man—until the day the soldiers decide she needs humbling.
Tilda's rescue has Duncan headed for the gallows even though she claims him to be her husband to refute the accusations. Both of them wished for adventure. But adventures can weary a soul, especially when deadly enemies appear in unexpected places. That's when wishes change to prayers for nothing more than the safety and love found in each other's arms.

"They ordered her to seduce him and cast him aside . . .
He was commanded to protect her . . . but no one told them to fall in love.
A Highlander's duty . . .
A summons from court could be a dangerous thing, especially for Graham MacCoinnich. He says what he thinks, and his clan's treasonous rumblings coupled with their risky alliances cast both kith and kin in a dubious light. But King William's order turns out to be anything but dire.
Surprising? Yes. Enticing? Without a doubt. The exquisite Lady Mercy Claxton, most cherished goddaughter of the king, requires a protective escort through Scotland and Graham is happy to offer his services.

"'Take thirty days off or you’re fired.' To twenty-first-century surgeon Dr. Evie Wortham, her hospital's ultimatum of thirty days' leave in the calming wilderness of the Scottish Highlands so she can get a handle on her anger issues means one thing: unbearable boredom. But she agrees out of pity for her best friend who Human Resources nominated to pass out the punishment. So, she heads to the outskirts of Inverness for a month of hiking, biking, and becoming one with nature. But a climb behind a waterfall to rescue a kitten permanently strikes the word boredom from her vocabulary. Instead of finding the cat when she emerges on the other side, she discovers a man with a bloody gash in his head floating face down in the pool below.
When Chieftain Quinn MacTaggart opens his eyes to the lovely, but strangely dressed Englishwoman, he's certain the enemy has captured him. He'd put nothing past Edward I's arrogance and determination to break Scotland. But when the sharp-tongued lass turns out to be an extraordinary healer and confesses England has banished her, honor demands he not only offer her the protection of his clan, but the added safety of taking his name. After all, she did save his life. And not only is she fearless and filled with fire, but bonny as a prize filly. What better choice for a wife?

"As a twenty-first century farmer, Kenzie MacMartin knows if she doesn't recover that ram that cost her a bundle, her dog won't be the only one howling in the Highlands. And to make matters worse, when she chases that sheep through a cave, she discovers a troupe of re-enactors mucking up her land with some kind of clan skirmish. The only upside is their handsome leader—until he kidnaps her.
Mathias Stronach questions his sanity in laying claim to the strangely dressed woman and her dog. Perhaps he should have let the MacPhersons take her. Then, she would've distracted them instead of him. Such fire in this feisty lass. He'd bet his best dagger; her passions burn just as fiercely. Makes a man think twice about choices he's made. Like promising to marry a woman he's never loved so he can be the next chieftain of Clan Stronach.
When Kenzie realizes she's barged into the thirteenth century, her priority is getting back to that cave and hoping she'll find her way back home. But vengeful clans, a medieval sociopath, and the warrior who draws her in like a bee to sweet clover thwarts that priority at every turn. Her head knows better. Her heart refuses to listen.
