A Curse Written in Garnet

By A.L. Nairne

A Curse Written in Garnet

A historical time-travel romance

Sarah Lincoln is not brave, not bold - and she definitely does not belong in medieval Scotland.

One moment, she's standing on the edge of a life she never quite chose. The next, she's thrown back through time into blood-soaked borderlands, ancient feuds, and the shadow of a cursed Highland keep locals whisperingly call the Red Tower.

Mistaken for a woman of ill repute and stripped of everything familiar, Sarah's survival depends on one man: Liam of Ross. A hardened laird bound by duty, haunted by loss, and tethered to a curse written in blood and stone, Liam has no patience for mysteries - or for the sharp-tongued woman who challenges his authority at every turn.

But Sarah is more than she appears. And the garnet ring she lost may be the key to a legacy centuries in the making.

As danger closes in and old enemies stir, desire ignites between them - fierce, forbidden, and impossible to ignore. To break the curse binding them both, Sarah must decide how much she's willing to sacrifice... including the future she once called home.
