Cautious and methodical, Isabelle Ross has always preferred the safety of well-laid plans and predictable routines. Life has taught her that the best way to avoid heartache is to play it safe, and she’s followed that rule to the letter. But when an unexpected twist of fate hurls her into medieval Scotland, Isabelle’s carefully constructed world is thrown into chaos.

Magnus Kerr is a Highlander haunted by the mistakes of his past. Driven by a relentless need for redemption, he has devoted his life to righting the wrongs he once committed. But when Isabelle, a mysterious woman from the future, appears in his path, her quiet strength and cautious heart challenge everything he thought he knew about himself.

As they traverse the rugged landscapes and face the dangers of the wild Highlands, Isabelle and Magnus find themselves drawn together in ways neither expected. Her cautious nature is both a balm and a challenge to Magnus, who must confront the shadows of his past if he hopes to build a future with her.

In a world where the stakes are high and the heart’s desires are the most dangerous risks of all, Isabelle and Magnus must decide if they can trust each other—and themselves—enough to embrace the love that has the power to heal them both.
