A Trip to the Past

Elsie Affleck, a beautiful combat nurse, is living a double life. She has a husband in one century, and a lover in another. Elsie, who was relieved from her duty, came back from the war and reunited with her husband on a second honeymoon; when she innocently touches a pebble in one of the ancient stone circles that dot the British Isles. Suddenly she is a Sasunnoch, “Foreigner” in a Scotland torn by war and raiding border clans in the seventeenth century. Tossed back in time by forces she cannot comprehend, Elsie’s destiny in soon inextricably entangled with Clan MacArthur and the outlawed Castle Marly. She is catapulted without warning into the affairs of lairds and spies that may threaten her life and shatter her heart. She later met James Fraser, a courageous young Scots warrior, who shows her a passion so fierce and a love so ultimate that Elsie becomes a woman torn between loyalty and desire, and between two vastly different men in two irreconcilable lives.
