Sword of the Highlands
She fell in love with a painting…
Magda Deacon — New York heiress, art curator — has handled priceless beauty her whole life, but nothing undoes her like the portrait of the Scottish nobleman with the rebel’s stare. She knows his face, his name, and exactly how his story ends. So when a slip through time drops her into 17th-century Scotland, she already carries the unbearable truth: she’s losing her heart to a man marked for the gallows.
…then fell through time to save him.
James Graham, Marquis of Montrose, is everything history promised — brilliant, magnetic, a poet with a sword and a reckless gift for trouble. He can’t place the guarded stranger who’s like no woman of his century; he only knows he can’t stay away. But Montrose is waging a war Scotland will never forget, and his enemies won’t rest until he hangs. Magda alone knows how his story ends — and exactly what it will cost her to rewrite it.
