Beth Anderson travels
to Scotland to help her Australian friends, Liz and Andrew, renovate the
dilapidated castle he inherited from his uncle. Beth shares Liz’s passion for
all things Celtic and knows the ancient language well. Liz tells her an unbelievable
story of how she and Andrew were swept back in time to 1050, to a hostile
world, where Andrew saved the life of Travis, his ancestor, a lovable rogue.
Beth decides to explore
the castle attics and unwittingly discovers their method of time-travel. But
the Travis she meets is a changed man, now driven by revenge and set on
annihilating all his enemies. He has too much violence and bloodshed to contend
with and has no time in his life for another woman from the future. Despite
this a great love grows, a love that must overcome many obstacles before
reaching its conclusion. In Book 1, The
Laird, we met Travis, his family, and his clansmen, in Book 2 Travis, we are
reunited with them.

Beth turned about. This was so stupid. How on earth
could she work out which direction to take? A city girl didn’t have to worry
about such things. There were street signs in the city and always someone to
ask for directions. Here she was surrounded by trees, the few cattle, and
bracken. As she pondered which way to walk, the thundering of hooves disturbed
the tranquility. Thank the lord. Beth breathed a sigh of relief—now she’d find
out where she was.
A hand shielding her eyes, she faced the rider.
A giant of a man rode one of the biggest horses she’d
ever seen. Black flowing hair streamed out behind him, and he rode as if all
the devils from hell were on his heels.
As
he neared Beth saw that he had a beard as black as his hair. He wore some sort
of strange garment, like a philabeg, the old Gaelic version of a kilt. A
claymore hung at his side, and leather strapping bound his calves.
It was Andrew.
Relief flooded her. Why hadn’t Liz told her he was
taking part in a highland pageant? She laughed out loud as he saw her, and
lifted her hand to wave.
He skidded the horse to a
standstill. It was then, as the man controlled the wild, panting beast, Beth
recalled something Liz told her last night. Andrew wasn’t a good rider. Her
throat dried up, and she couldn’t swallow. The rider stared at her as if she was
a ghost just risen from the earth. His mouth worked but no words came out.
Some sixth sense told her exactly who this stranger
was.
“Travis.” A hand covering her mouth, Beth whispered
the name hoarsely. Dizziness swamped her, and vaguely she heard him use a
Gaelic curse before she toppled into oblivion.
"Multi-published
author Tricia McGill does it again! You can’t help but fall in love
with her Highlander chief, Travis, the masterful clan leader in
1051 Scotland from her previous book.
Even
without running water and central heating this time-travel novel will make you
wish you could be transported back into Travis’ castle… for a good, old
fashioned candle lit romance. If you’ve ever fallen in love with
a man in a portrait painting, that’s what happened to Beth. What she hadn’t
expected was the intense feuding and fighting between the clans, and the harsh
conditions found in 1051 Scotland. Still, Beth must make up her mind whether or
not to return to the present... or brave it out and stay in the past with her
Highland lover...
This
is a fast paced action tale of the rough conditions of bygone days, and the man
Beth couldn’t leave behind." JoEllen
