After being dumped by her fiance, Madelyn Phillips goes to Scotland, a place she has always dreamed of visiting. There she meets and falls in love with Patrick MacLeod . . . who just happens to have come through a time gate from medieval Scotland to the present. Just as their relationship is deepening, unfinished business for both of them threatens to tear them apart. This is one of a number of books by Lynn Kurland dealing with two time-traveling families, the Macleods and the De Piagets. Lovely romances. Kurland also writes a fantasy series.
