In 2000 on location in Scotland, stuntwoman Catherine "Cat" Terril sees a strange looking elderly man who tells her to follow her heart and seemingly vanishes. She assumes her peers pulled a prank on her, but still follows in the direction she saw him disappear. Before she knows what happens she opens a door, takes a step, and falls into a freezing lake.
Angus, the son of abusive local clan leader Colum Mackay, captures Cat and concocts a plot to save their lives from the wrath of King Alexander. Cruel Colum needs his daughter Brianna to marry Roderic de Montwain to assuage the regal, but she eloped with Alistair Kincaid, brother to another Laird. The Mackays warn Cat to cooperate or else, and quickly marry her off to Roderic as Brianna. When she first sees Roderic Cat, she knows she has found her soul-mate, but this is 1320 and she was born over six centuries into the future; her actions leave Roderic to wonder if he has fallen in love with a mad woman.
This fun time travel romance will thrill readers, as the key males assume that Cat is mad because of how she behaves so unlike the ladies of the century. The storyline is fast-paced and action-packed, with the Mackays' plotting while Roderic wonders why the seemingly intelligent Vat is off balance mentally. Though her work allows her ease of adjustment, fans will appreciate the historical Scottish romance between the stuntwoman and the warrior laird.
