Description:
Up
and coming novelist sensation, McKayla never could have imagined that
the medieval Scottish Highlands she wrote about were anything more
than pure historical fiction. But little did she know that her Broun
ancestry would prove an irresistible pull for one very remarkable
highlander.
Colin
MacLomain, skilled assassin and fierce warrior, is ready to make
right his jaded past. Newly seated as chieftain, he's determined to
win over his clan and one true love. But when she's pulled back in
time will McKayla, his unknowing best friend, be able to see past his
shaded history to the man he's determined to become?

Excerpt:
Though
they stood a good foot apart they might as well have been entwined
with all the attraction crackling between them. He arched a brow and
though he didn’t move toward her, his words certainly yanked her
back against him. “More muscles. Far more strength. A tireless
perseverance that I promise will make you weep.”
“Tireless,”
she whispered.
“Perseverance,”
he promised. “Determination.”
She
licked her lips and tried to look away. Impossible. He looked so
bloody good standing there in a plaid with the mountains cheering him
on and the highland wind working fully to his advantage.
“You
have no idea how hard it was for me to transform my feelings into
something platonic. But I did. This. You.” She made a loose gesture
in his direction. “Reignites old wounds.”
Colin
nodded and instead of continuing to undress her with his practiced
eyes he grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him.
“So
let’s start over, Kay, sorry, McKayla.” He squeezed her hand. “I
promise not to call you that until I earn back your trust. I dinnae
deserve that level of closeness. Not yet. But I promise you one day I
will. I want to earn back not only what I lost when I ended our
relationship but what I lost because of all the lies. While I beg for
my clan’s forgiveness, allow me to ask for yours as well, a
thousand times over.”
A
small shiver rippled through her. Did he really crave her forgiveness
as much if not more than those who raised him? His very family? It
was hard not to be humbled because she knew he was being truthful.
She wasn’t being naïve, not this time. He meant it. Regardless, he
wasn’t getting off that easy. “Let’s work at rebuilding the
friendship and not worry so much about the relationship, okay?”
Colin
nodded and led her into the forest. “Seems like a good start.”
That
sounded like he intended the friendship to be a mere formality and
for them to pick up where they left off. If he thought she was
jumping back into a relationship, he was in for a rude awakening.
“Friends, Colin. That’s all I want right now.”
“Aye,”
he agreed. “Friends. Once earned.”
Again,
something about the way he said it made her think he was a lot more
arrogant than he thought he was.
