Description from Amazon.com:

A HIGHLAND CHIEFTAIN

Recently freed from captivity in London Tower, Rae Mackinnon returns to the turbulent Highlands and claims his place as laird of Dunraven Castle. As he grapples with clan rivalries and divisiveness within his own family, he is confronted with a startling discovery — a beautiful woman from a distant future, delivered through the portals of Time and into his bed . . .

A VICTORIAN LADY

Swept up in the summer social rounds, Julia Hargrove accompanies her aunt and cousins on an excursion to Scotland, to an ancient castle which has hosted no visitors for two decades — until now. Rumors abound of unusual occurrences at Dunraven Castle — occurrences that are centered in the bedchamber Julia now occupies, where a rugged Highland warrior materializes from the past . . .

DRAWN IRRESISTIBLY THROUGH THE PORTALS OF TIME

What mysteries does Dunraven hold? What secret opens the temporal door, allowing Julia and Rae to reach across the centuries to claim a few stolen moments and nurture a blossoming love? But how long can the rules of Time be broken before the door shuts forevermore?

**

I love time-travel romances. At least I love the idea of them. So often I’ve been disappointed but every now and then I come across a hidden gem and this is one of those. This story is superbly plotted and so rich with time-slip explanations that the reader starts to think it could actually happen. Our Fifteenth century Highland Laird is, of course, the epitome of virile masculinity and handsome. Our Victorian miss is sweet, tender and much put-upon by her female relatives. There is a villain that we hope gets his comeuppance and a group of kindly old scientists who aid in the understanding of time-slips. This has been just a delightful book by a very accomplished author.

(I’m sorry! This book is no longer free on Amazon.  The price is back to around $3, still a good buy.)
