Travel writer Lainie Shaw doesn't have time for men-especially not the disappointing, real-life kind. She's perfectly content losing herself in her work...and in the dreamy portraits of Highland warriors that adorn the galleries of Inverness. But when a spontaneous purchase of an antique jewelry box delivers more than she bargained for, fantasy and reality collide in the most unexpected way.

Because the man of her dreams-kilt, charm, and all-suddenly appears at her feet.

Now, the heat between them burns hotter than a Scottish summer, and Lainie finds herself swept into a passion that feels timeless. But as desire deepens into something dangerously close to love, she begins to wonder-can a man from the past truly belong in her future?
