Hᴇ sᴛᴏʟᴇ ᴀ ᴋɪss, ᴀɴᴅ ꜰᴏᴜɴᴅ ᴀ ᴡɪꜰᴇ.

Ian McCaim is used to following in his brother’s footsteps—even if it takes him to medieval Scotland. When he finally completes the time travel ritual, the magic lands him next to Hightower Castle and his big brother, Greyson, is there to greet him. As soon as the rest of the family returns to Hightower, the McCaims can finally go home, but in the meantime, Greyson has a task for Ian: charm the man whose son is fated to play a pivotal role in the Scottish War of Independence. An easy task—or at least it would be if Ian were capable of behaving himself.

After a lifetime of having endured stares, Màiri Kelbrue is used to being looked at—the strange mark on her cheek ensures it. So when the handsome man she encounters near her father’s loch gawks at her, she assumes the worst. Until he kisses her. The passion she feels for the stranger stuns her—she’d thought to marry her childhood friend, but never once did he make her feel like this. And then the unimaginable happens—when the stranger escorts her home, he tells her very religious father exactly what happened between them.

Within a sennight, Ian and Màiri are rushed to the altar. Ian plans to return to the future sooner rather than later, but the bride he didn’t ask for soon becomes the only thing he wants. What will he do when it’s time to go home?

Titles & Release Dates:

Sinful Scot: February 2020

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


Ian McCaim has watched his three brothers disappear, hopefully through time to fetch their mother back. He's determined to follow them and has everything arranged incase they can't come back.  He did not expect what actually happened.
M`airi Kelbrue wants to marry her childhood friend but her father will not allow it because of a clan dispute.  She loves her father but is very cross with him.  
This is the fourth and final book in a series that should be read in order.  Each brother does have his own story so each book could be read alone but better together.  The characters are strong, brave and very loveable.  The time they travel to is a dangerous one in Scotland's history.  You will find out if they manage their quest and if they can return.  
I loved each book.  Great time-travel fun.

Reikart McCaim doesn’t want to be saved—despite the fact that he’s a time traveler from 2020 New Orleans stuck in medieval Scotland. He holds his jagged secrets close to his chest and wants to keep them that way. Even if he could open up to the incredible woman fate has tossed in his path, they’d both be shredded by the things he can’t let go of. Still, he needs her help. In his time, his father lies in a coma with only one wish: to see Reikart’s mother again, whom he’s always claimed was a time traveler pulled back to her true time. Two of Reikart’s brothers already traveled back to search for her, but they are missing, too. Now, Reikart must find his family and secure the magic cross they need to return to their time. And the lass who is everything he wants but cannot allow himself to have is the only one who can recover it.

Deirdre Irvine’s life is a disaster, and it’s about to get a whole lot messier. She’s been betrayed by her brother, and she finds herself unwittingly embroiled in a plot to gain control of the Scottish throne. Not to mention she’s harboring enormous guilt over failing the sister she adores. So when the unexpected chance to prove herself to her sister arises, Deirdre will do anything to use the opportunity to her advantage. It doesn’t matter that it means putting herself in danger and joining forces with a man who claims he’s from the future. But she is woefully unprepared for the jeopardy he puts her heart in.

For a scarred man and wounded lass, their greatest obstacle may not be the centuries that divide them, but the walls they’ve erected themselves. As Deirdre’s and Reikart’s lives intertwine and they’re confronted with dangerous enemies, she’s about to discover a strength she never knew she had, and he’s about to learn that facing his ghosts may be the only way to save not only himself but the woman he now loves.

Riekart McCaim has watched as two of his brothers vanished in front of his eyes.  They all thought their father was mad when he said their mother had not abandoned them, she had gone back to the time she came from.  Thirteenth century Scotland.  Obviously he was right.  However he's now in a coma and desperately needs to hear his wife's voice.  So the brothers are going to try and find her.
Can he and Ian follow them?? 
Deirdre Irvine is stuck in the middle of a plot between England's King and the man she is betrothed to.  She needs to escape and hope her sister will forgive her.  
This story is the third in the series.  You could read it on it's own but will enjoy them all if you read the series in order.  They are all full of fun and danger.  There's a lot for a modern American business man to learn before he can be a Highland warrior.  Our heroine has always been told what she has to do by the men around her.  That's going to change.  
Really great fun.

A ᴍᴏᴅᴇʀɴ ᴍᴀɴ, ᴀ ᴍᴇᴅɪᴇᴠᴀʟ ᴡᴏᴍᴀɴ. Fᴀᴛᴇ ʙʀᴏᴜɢʜᴛ ᴛʜᴇᴍ ᴛᴏɢᴇᴛʜᴇʀ, ʙᴜᴛ ᴡɪʟʟ ʜɪsᴛᴏʀʏ ᴛᴇᴀʀ ᴛʜᴇᴍ ᴀᴘᴀʀᴛ?

When his older brother disappears in front of his eyes, Greyson McCaim is determined to find him—even if he has to travel back in time. Because it turns out their “crazy” father was right: their mother didn’t leave them willingly. She’s a time traveler, and someone pulled her back to her original home in medieval Scotland.
Now Rhys is there too, and the other McCaim brothers are stuck in modern-day New Orleans. They keep repeating the chant that sent Rhys back, and it finally works—but only for Greyson. Miserably unprepared for medieval life, he is saved by fate’s choice to dump him at the feet of the uncle he never knew he had. The two set off to learn what happened to Greyson’s mother, but their journey is derailed when they encounter an earl’s daughter in need of help.

Marian is sent from the only home she’s ever known to marry a stranger—a Scottish noble with a poor reputation. But her fear of the unknown is soon replaced by a completely different terror when her group is viciously attacked by reivers. The Scot who saves her is unlike anyone she’s ever met—his accent is strange, his words stranger, and he’s completely ignorant to etiquette. And yet this man awakens something in her, as does her newfound freedom from her father.

Greyson’s secret opens a whole new world for Marian, and her love makes him a stronger man. But can they possibly find a happy ending? Because his family is at the center of a conspiracy that promises to change Scotland forever, and from the perspective of history, he knows it doesn’t turn out well.

Greyson McCaim and his brothers have found out that their father has not been crazy for the last few years.  Since his wife disappeared he has talked about time-travel all the time.  Now since his older brother vanished before their eyes, they are starting to believe.
When Greyson finds out it really does work.  He needs to find his mother and brother and get back.  
Marian is being sent to marry a man with a terrible reputation because her father wants to make an alliance. Her journey is not going to be straightforward. With our hero out of his comfort zone and our heroine enjoying her first adventure there is so much to discover in this story.  
A very exciting medieval romance with great characters. This series really should be read in order,  but you could enjoy it on it's own.  Time travel is always fun.  
I loved it.
