Laird's Darkness: A Scottish Time Travel Historical Romance

By Katy Baker

She came to heal his people. He taught her how to heal her heart.

Newly divorced, modern witch Rose MacFinnan swears she's done saving everyone but herself. But when the sea goddess Lir demands her help, Rose agrees-and is swept away to the wild island of Barra... and centuries into the past.

Cailean MacNeil, laird of Barra, has lost too much already-his wife, his faith, and now his people, as a deadly sickness ravages his home. When Rose appears claiming she can help, he doesn't trust her-until she begins to heal more than just the sickness.

As they uncover the truth behind the curse haunting Barra, Rose and Cailean find themselves bound by something far stronger than fate. And when the sea itself demands a sacrifice, Rose must choose between returning to her own world... or saving the man who has taught her how to love again.
