Romance Time Travel

Due to one Fae's error in language and similarly erroneous re-correction of his mistake, women in the human/mortal world are suddenly coming into the Fae gifts and heritage that's rightfully theirs. For Ellie Denton, this is a bit startling, to say the least. Not only is she dealing with the recent death of her beloved mother and a good-for- nothing former step-father intent on ousting her from the family ranch, but suddenly she's able to communicate with animals and dealing with an odd-looking skin rash. This has her thinking she's going crazy, not that she's being given supernaturally genetic gifts! Meanwhile in 1295 Scotland, Caden MacAlister is having his own problems: he's reeling from a spurned romance, learning to run Dun Ard and negotiating with overblown noblemen to save his friends and relatives. When Ellie and Caden meet, neither wants to dismiss the stubborn attitudes that have given both of them strength over the years. A highly entertaining tale, A HIGHLANDER OF HER OWN does not fall victim to stereotype; instead, the story flows naturally from plot point to plot point. This book is a great one to read in the tub with a glass of wine or hot cocoa, as it's richly engaging and quickly envelops the reader in its environment.

SUMMARY

TEXAS, PRESENT DAY. Ellie Denton's world has spiraled out of control. A strange new birthmark, animals talking to her, and her mother's ex-husband laying claim to the family ranch have her thinking life can't get more complicated. But Ellie doesn't know the birthmark's connection to her Faerie ancestors. Complicated takes on a whole new meaning with her innocent wish to find her true love.

SCOTLAND, 1304. Caden MacAlister has more trouble than he can handle. With his brother held for ransom and the laird missing, the last thing he needs is another problem. But the Fae have other plans. A mysterious woman shows up in his stables, sent by Faerie Magic to find her true love. Fighting his attraction, Caden insists she's meant for one of his brothers. With his history, he has no desire for a woman in his life -- especially a woman sent by the Fae.

Only the magic of the Fae can determine whether Ellie will find a Highlander of her own...
