Description

She gave up on magic. Now it might be the only thing that can save them both…

Jenna MacFinnan turned her back on her family's witchcraft long ago. After watching her mother die despite all her healing spells, she buried her belief in magic and focused on surviving the modern world—one overpriced coffee at a time. But with a mountain of debt and reeling from a broken heart, she's nearly at breaking point.

In 1497, Chieftain Arran MacLeod is fighting a losing battle. The magical protections that once guarded the Isle of Skye have failed, leaving his people vulnerable to attack by brutal raiders. When the goddess Lir offers him a single hope—a Spellweaver from the future—Arran dives through time in search of a miracle.

Jenna has no interest in helping a delusional Highland warrior, no matter how rugged and charming he may be. But desperation pushes her to accept his offer and she agrees to return with him—only to find herself in a war-torn land where nothing makes sense and her magic refuses to obey.

As danger closes in and feelings between them deepen, Jenna must rediscover the power she tried to forget. Because only a spell woven from love can save the island—and the man—she’s grown to cherish.
