The Promise

An ancient family relic, a newly discovered portal to the past-what could possibly go wrong? After a tragic childhood accident left her orphaned, Brianna O'Roarke found meaning in historical antiquities, objects and artifacts she trusts will never leave her. So, when she discovers her family's prized possession-the centuries old Wolf Sword-is missing, she'll stop at nothing to see it returned. Finally securing a meeting with the elusive Mr. MacTavish, who's now asserting ownership of the sword, Brianna sets off to Scotland and her ancestral home, Dunhill Manor, in hopes of shoring up her claim, and getting her treasured legacy back. Scotland 1434-Aidan Sinclair has one last mission to complete in order to fulfill his duty-a sacred oath made to his brethren and mentor, to install the Montgomerys in what will become their family seat for centuries to come. But when he finds the mysterious Miss O'Roarke in residence upon his arrival, seeking safe passage to Dunhill, it seems his task is far from over...and a new quest is set to begin. As Aidan and Brianna make the journey across land and sea, two things become evident: one, their lives are entwined, and have been since before they met. And two, assumptions, especially in matters of the heart, rarely prove true, and even less so where Fate is concerned. Return to adventure, and Medieval Scotland for another heart stopping, time travel romance in the Highland Lairds of the Crest Series-where lingering questions are answered...and new mysteries begin to unravel.
