Two stories. Two centuries torn open. One anthology that delivers exactly what the title promises.

Originally published by Constable & Robinson in their Mammoth Romance series, these novellas blend Scottish history, time-travel, and the kind of romance that earns its heat.

MacDuff's Secret

Sarah Colbert teaches sixth grade. She's used to chaos-just not the kind that involves a terrorist bomb detonating in Edinburgh and hurling her and five students back to eleventh-century Scotland.

Shamus MacDuff hasn't wanted company in a decade. War does that to a man. He's built a life around solitude, and he's fine with it-until six bewildered strangers land on his doorstep claiming to be from another time. He doesn't believe them. He can't afford to.

Her MacKinnon

Maggie MacKinnon married a man she loved completely, then watched him disappear into an obsession with a signet ring and a family legend that consumed everything else. When he survives an accident that should have killed him, she's desperate to believe he's finally come back to her.

He hasn't. Or rather-he has, but not the way she expects.

Laird Alex MacKinnon has lived inside that ring for centuries, passing through the hands of his heirs. Now he's woken up in a modern hospital with no idea how he got there, what year it is, or why this woman looks at him like he owes her something. He has one chance to get this right-for both of them.
