Ever My Love

April 1, 2017
A world traveler meets a time traveler in the 21st century and follows him back to medieval Scotland.With an ex-boyfriend and a failed business venture in Seattle, Emmaline Baxter heads to the Scottish Highlands, where she hopes to relax and reassess her future. Instead, she's confronted with the distant past--a kilt-wearing Scotsman with the curse of involuntary time travel who enters the 21st century with a sword and returns to the 14th century with Emma's cellphone. (Can he hear her now?) Nathaniel MacLeod is certain he's on an important mission--he just doesn't know why he must jump through the hoops of time to get there. One minute, he's trying to keep enemy clansmen from chopping his head off; the next minute, he's parking his Range Rover and checking his email. When Emma catches him in the MacLeod forest, fading in and out of the mist in the trees, a missing piece of his destiny--and hers--appears just in time for a happily ever after. From rolling hills and grand castles to cozy cabins and roaring fireplaces, the Scottish setting is rich with romance and magic. Emma is practical but admirably optimistic--"Things definitely could have been much worse. She could have been living eight hundred years earlier and been on her way to the Tower of London"--while Nathaniel, who really has been living 800 years earlier, can't argue with that logic, and his world-weary perspective greatly enhances his timeless good looks. A vacation in the Scottish Highlands with a handsome stranger and no cellphone is, in itself, a dream come true. With Kurland's wit and flair, it's a romantic escape for the ages.
