A man's life can fall apart in an
instant...
Tougher than oxhide, Lachlan Wallace can take about
anything except a breakup call from his wife two minutes
before competing in the Karate Championship of the World.
Arriving home with a loss, he agrees to watch his uncle's
cat over the holidays. Or so he thinks--until he awakes on a
fourteenth century battlefield beside a woman fighting for
her life.
Never underestimate a woman's determination...
Taken from her at the age of two, Lady Christina de Moray
hasn't seen her son in thirteen years. While traveling with
Robert the Bruce's army to exchange an English prisoner for
the lad, a battle erupts. Losing the fight, Christina is
rescued by a mysterious warrior while the English escape
with her son yet again.
And never bet against the potency of passion...
Left with no way back to the twenty-first century,
Lachlan agrees to help Christina rescue the lad from his
English captors. If the heir is not returned by Christmas
next, the Bruce will make his decision whom to grant the de
Moray lands, including Lady Christina's hand. Once his duty
is fulfilled, Lachlan hopes to discover a way home--as long
as he keeps his mind on the goal and ignores his growing
love for the spirited woman who gives him her trust--and her
heart.
