Alone In Time: A Scottish Historical Time Travel Romance - Paperback

by William Newell (Author)

A Travel Into The Past, Alone In Unfamiliar Territory... "Oh, honey, ramble all you like. I love the sound of your voice. Sometimes, I even listen to the words." Katie and John Duncan are on their first around-the-world cruise, enjoying the sights and the relaxed, luxurious way of life. But all is not well for the Duncans, in particular in Katie's heart. The remarkable way they inherited wealth has put their marriage back on edge. After years of emotional stability and financial risk-taking, Katie is worried that the massive windfall will change them and will significantly damage their relationship. The threat to their relationship comes from an unexpected source, though, when she decides to inspect the amazing collection of artifacts collected and displayed throughout the cruise ship. She runs across the tatters of a Highland flag whose mere presence transports her back to Dark Age Scotland. "I know you're not really my sister, you know." Though she's no stranger to time travel, this latest trip is uniquely frightening; it's the first time she's entirely on her own. Katie discovers that the picturesque, mountainous countryside is at war between the Norse raiders and local Scots. Someone must take up the cause of leading the resistance for a cause that may well be doomed. "What has been the secret of your love?" As if things aren't complicated enough, the man she throws her support behind to lead the Scottish counterattack is showing signs of falling in love with her. Though married in her eventual future, Katie slowly discovers time unwinding before her in a pattern she doesn't recognize from previous experiences. She gradually realizes she is alone with her burden and torn between her loves. This time, returning to the present may not be in the cards for Katie and she has to make a decision between loyalty and love.
