What she doesn't know is how to heal his heart...A proud warrior and the leader of a powerful clan, Rory MacLeod is ready to fight to the death to protect his homeland. After all, ever since tragedy robbed him of his wife, he has had nothing to lose.

My Thoughts....
This is the first time reading this author and I really loved this book.You could not but love the characters in this book and the slow developing romance between Rory and Ali. This was and adventurous time travel with some twists along the way that I was not expecting which was a real treat.
