Romance Time Travel

Campbell has taken extreme measures to assure himself a victory over the MacDonald clan and in particular Alasdair MacColla, his bitter enemy. He has sought the assistance of a witch who will bring forth the person who will ensure MacColla's downfall. Has he sealed MacColla's death? Or will messing with fate prove too much to handle? Haley Fitzpatrick is a graduate student trying to find a topic for her dissertation. While reexamining an intriguing piece of weaponry and forming some history altering conclusions, a crude drawing catches her eye. She suddenly finds herself in the way of Alasdair MacColla, a warrior on a mission. She realizes that this is more than just an elaborate ruse, and that in fact she has gone back in time. Haley must strive to come to terms with her new surroundings and the man who is quickly becoming entangled in her life. What exactly can she recall about MacColla's life and his time? Why does she want to protect him from his fate? Will she be able to alter history to keep him in her life? Alasdair MacColla is on a mission to rescue his sister from the vile Campbell's dungeon. On his way out of the stronghold with his sister in tow, a woman appears in his path. Mistaking her for a Campbell, he decides to take her along as leverage. She is one of the fiercest and most courageous women that he has met, and she is quite a beauty to behold. He soon acknowledges that even if this woman is his sworn enemy, she has awakened a part of himself that he never thought existed. He can imagine settling down and raising a family as long as Haley is beside him. It seems that even a fierce warrior can lose his heart. How can he make her understand his dedication to his clan? Can he keep a family and maintain his mission to destroy Campbell? Veronica Wolff has crafted an extraordinary romance. She takes us on a fascinating journey through time introducing us to one of the most intriguing Highland warriors. We easily fall under Alasdair's spell, and are simply in awe of the woman who can tame him. Ms. Wolff captivates us with her stunning details, her fabulous characters, and her undeniable ability to create a passionate romance. WARRIOR OF THE HIGHLANDS is a marvelous time travel romance that grabs you and does not let go. This tale is by far a memorable one, and I await Ms. Wolff's next Scottish adventure.
