Iain MacAlister, laird of Dunstaffnage Castle, is away at Urquhart Castle helping his cousin defend his keep. To no avail, Edward Longshanks overtakes Urquhart, and the Scots are forced to bow to his whim. Called before “the Hammer of the Scots,” Iain is humiliated and told he has one week to find a bride or the English king will seize his lands and title.
Kenna MacKellar is a retired Sergeant Major of the United States Army with several overseas tours under her belt. Now she is ready to relax and do some traveling for pleasure. So with camera in hand, she takes a tour of the castles and ruins of Scotland. On a beautiful sunny day she finds herself at Urquhart Castle with a feeling of dread that she can’t explain. Once inside the ruins, she raises her camera and with one click and a flash of lightning, she is whisked away to the 13th century and falls literally into the arms of Iain MacAlister.
Is it possible that Iain, a Highland warrior who devoted his life to defending Scotland, finally find his desperately needed bride? Or will the future reclaim Kenna before he has the chance to find out?

Staff Sergeant Kaela Robertson, a Surveyor for the United States Army, is on a mission comparing several properties in Scotland to set up a new installation. As she’s hiking in the highlands, she comes across a crevasse with the hidden keep of Dunnideer Castle that is in ruins and covered with foliage. Fascinated, she repels down to take a closer look. While walking amidst its broken walls, she can’t shake the feeling that someone is watching her. She finds a large old mirror in one of the second level rooms. After running her hand across its old glass, she could swear she sees a set of blue eyes staring back at her. After gaining permission from the Scottish government, she is granted temporary ownership of the mirror for research and has it taken to her cottage. Daire MacLaren is commanded to appear before the king with his wife, who was rumored to be with child, so that the king can give his approval on the new born. He can't believe his eyes when he sees a woman who looks remarkably like his recently deceased wife peering back at him through his own mirror. If he doesn’t show up with his wife and baby, the king will take it as a snub to the throne and declare MacLaren lands forfeit. A few evenings later, he is studying her through the mirror, watching her undress in front of him, noticing the physical differences between his late wife and her. Daire finds himself mesmerized by this beautiful woman. Could this be the answer to his prayers? Does this alluring woman hold the answer to saving MacLaren’s holdings and his heart? If only he could find a way to bring her to him. Still in the works!

For as long as she could remember, Catrina Buchanan, a Public Affairs Specialist in the United States Army had a stone the size of a DVD case that looked like it was the other half of something larger. It had these weird circles and symbols on it and she had no idea what it was or where it came from. While making a tourism video for the Army recreation center a rain storm rolled in, making it impossible to shoot that day. So instead of moping, she grabbed her raincoat and took a walk amidst pict ruins at Dunbar Castle. There she saw other symbols exactly like the ones on the stone she had at home. She continued to walk along, running her hands over the etched, cool, wet stones. All of the sudden, a strong gust of wind knocked her back causing her to lose her breath. Feeling like she’d been hit by an invisible force, she turned around to see what came at her. It was the last thing she remembered before all went dark.
