A Scot Worth Having by Angeline Fortin

She wasn’t supposed to be there

Weary of her ex-husband’s relentless pursuit, Ginny Hughes flees to the one place he can never find her—the past. Now, she’s traded one battlefield for another, as she finds herself on the Culloden moor in time to witness the Jacobite’s final bloody stand against the Hanoverian army. From there, her simple plan goes from bad to worse, when she finds herself amid a war of her own. Captured by a group of retreating Scotsmen, she fights for her freedom, only to discover that her very presence in the past has changed history for the worst! With no other option but to mend what she broke, Ginny remains in the past to make sure that Bonnie Prince Charlie escapes Scotland, as he should. What she doesn’t anticipate is that, amid all that was going wrong, a braw, handsome Scot would bring her something that felt so right.

It was the last place he wanted to be

After a year of blood and war, Cailin MacLeod wants nothing more than to return home and try to rebuild the life he left behind. Aiding in Prince Charles Edward Stuart’s escape after a devastating loss was the last thing he wanted to do. Or so he thought, until a bonny, but mysterious, lass appears to misdirect them. Determined to find out how Ginny could possibly know the details of their plan and what more she might be hiding, Coll takes her as his unwilling captive only to discover the next day she is all too willing to offer her assistance to their cause. Bound by loyalty to his country, Coll knows he should be suspicious of her motives, but soon discovers that fighting his attraction might be the hardest battle he’s ever fought.

Now, Ginny’s not sure she ever wants to leave

Living history and experiencing it with all five senses was a dream come true, but the last thing she expected was to be able to immerse herself in it completely and in the presence of Bonny Prince Charlie, to boot! However, it isn’t a man of royal blood who brings the past alive for her and strikes at the heart of her battered emotions. Coll MacLeod reveals himself as a man who can bring her something her ex never could. Confidence and pride… in herself. As she helps Prince Charlie evade the pursuit of the royalist militia, Ginny discovers there is no escape from the yearning of her heart. And maybe… just maybe, the realization that there is a man worth having after all.
