She wasn’t supposed to be there Weary of her ex-husband’s relentless pursuit, Ginny Hughes flees to the one place he can never find her — the past. Now she’s traded one battlefield for another as she finds herself on the Culloden moor in time to witness the Jacobite’s final bloody stand against the Hanoverian army. From there, her simple plan goes from bad to worse when she finds herself amid a war of her own. Captured by a group of retreating Scotsmen, she fights for her freedom only to discover that her very presence in the past has changed history for the worst! With no other option but to mend what she broke, Ginny remains in the past to make sure that Bonnie Prince Charlie escapes Scotland as he should. What she doesn’t anticipate is, that amid all that was going wrong, a braw, handsome Scot would bring her something that felt so right. It was the last place he wanted to be After a year of blood and war, Cailin MacLeod wants nothing more than to return home and try to rebuild the life he left behind. Aiding in Prince Charles Edward Stuart’s escape after a devastating loss was the last thing he wanted to do. Or so he thought until a bonny, but mysterious lass appears to misdirect them. Determined to find out how Ginny could possibly know the details of their plan and what more she might be hiding, Coll takes her as his unwilling captive only to discover the next day she is all too willing to offer her assistance to their cause. Bound by loyalty to his country, Coll knows he should be suspicious of her motives, but soon discovers that fighting his attraction might be the hardest battle he’s ever fought. Now Ginny’s not sure she ever wants to leave Living history and experiencing it with all five senses was a dream come true, but the last thing she expected was to be able to immerse herself in it completely and in the presence of Bonny Prince Charlie to boot! However, it isn’t a man of royal blood who brings the past alive for her and strikes at the heart of her battered emotions. Coll MacLeod reveals himself as a man who can bring her something her ex never could. Confidence and pride…in herself. As she helps Prince Charlie evade the pursuit of the royalist militia, Ginny discovers there is no escape from the yearning of her heart. And maybe…just maybe, the realization that there is a man worth having after all.

The second book in the clever, sexy Desperately Seeking Duke series from USA Today bestselling and RITA award–winning author Caroline Linden. An Officer and a Scotsman Captain Andrew St. James always knew he came from a noble family, but his branch grew far from the wealth and status. Nothing shocks him more than learning that he now stands as heir presumptive to his distant cousin the Duke of Carlyle. There is much for Drew to learn and adjust to—but first he goes home to Edinburgh, to tell his mother and three sisters of their startling good fortune. A Lady and a Temptress Ilsa Ramsay yearns for some adventure and fun, not another husband. When she discovers the handsome soldier who sweeps her off her feet for a rollicking dance is her friend’s brother, soon to be an English duke, she tells herself he’s not for her, no matter how tempting he is. But one impulsive kiss, then another, and another… says otherwise. An Irresistible Attraction Drew means to marry a respectable, dignified Englishwoman—a very proper future duchess. The spirited Ilsa is none of that. Still, when she’s caught in a dangerous scandal, he leaps to her aid without hesitation. And neither family duty nor future obligation can make them ignore what’s in both their hearts.

An exciting account of the origins of the modern world Who formed the first literate society? Who invented our modern ideas of democracy and free market capitalism? The Scots. As historian and author Arthur Herman reveals, in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries Scotland made crucial contributions to science, philosophy, literature, education, medicine, commerce, and politics—contributions that have formed and nurtured the modern West ever since. Herman has charted a fascinating journey across the centuries of Scottish history. Here is the untold story of how John Knox and the Church of Scotland laid the foundation for our modern idea of democracy; how the Scottish Enlightenment helped to inspire both the American Revolution and the U.S. Constitution; and how thousands of Scottish immigrants left their homes to create the American frontier, the Australian outback, and the British Empire in India and Hong Kong. How the Scots Invented the Modern World reveals how Scottish genius for creating the basic ideas and institutions of modern life stamped the lives of a series of remarkable historical figures, from James Watt and Adam Smith to Andrew Carnegie and Arthur Conan Doyle, and how Scottish heroes continue to inspire our contemporary culture, from William “Braveheart” Wallace to James Bond. And no one who takes this incredible historical trek will ever view the Scots—or the modern West—in the same way again.

Without an heir, he's gathered his sons--his six illegitimate sons, all born in the same year--and declared whoever presents him with a grandson first will become the next Highland laird.

You see, he's already chosen his wife: the vivacious and intelligent Fiona MacIan, whom he fell in love with last year.

He'll invite her to the Oliphant keep with her brother the laird, in order to sign all the betrothal contracts, and Bam! Done! They can get on with the babies!Except...It's not that Fiona is getting cold feet, exactly. She's fairly certain she loves Finn. Mostly. Well, verra likely, at least. But she's never been the most self-confident of women, especially compared to her sister. Her identical twin sister, whom Finn mistakes for her upon arrival, which is super-awkward all around.The idea of marrying Finn makes her warm and giddy--hopefully that's just lust, not the ague--but how can she be certain he wants her? It's hard enough to be certain of anything on Oliphant land, what with mad Aunt Agatha spreading rumors, five potential brothers-in-law offering terrible advice, and a mysterious ghostly drummer keeping them awake at all hours.And mayhap Finn should've mentioned his identical twin brother, too? That would have saved everyone a lot of headache...and heartbreak. Finn and Fiona have plenty to learn about themselves and one another before they can be certain this marriage is a good idea. But unfortunately, they're running out of time. Dun-dun-duuuuuuuun! Warning: this comedy of errors is not for uptight prudes. There's plenty of naughty scenes, more than a few anachronistic jokes, and an embarrassing number of mistaken-identity gags. Only pick up this book if you have a sense of humor, please.

Angeline Fortin returns with the second book in her Something About a Highlander series, featuring a headstrong modern-day Scottish lass and a braw, brooding Highlander who wants nothing more than to make her his…nanny? Aila Marshall wants nothing to do with Auld Donell and his endless schemes, but even she cannot deny the lure of a mystery three hundred years in the making and a hunt for a lost treasure. When she’s sent to the wrong time entirely, Aila knows she’s been played. She knows she should return to her own time and give Donell a piece of her mind… One the other hand, what’s the rush when an undeniably handsome Scot crosses her path? Finn Keeley, Lord Rossmore, has no time for a new assistant. Especially one as sassy and bonny as the fiery redhead who’d come to fill the role. He’s spent years waiting for the opportunity to avenge the death of his wife and not once has his determination wavered. He cannot let Aila divert him from his purpose now…even though she’d the most passionate distraction he’s ever known. As far as Aila Marshall was concerned, a good man was hard to find and love even harder. Fairy tales and white knights were nothing more than a myth. Despite her best friend finding a man in the past to steal her heart, Aila has no intention of following in Brontë’s footsteps. She’s content to indulge in the smoldering desire she shares with Finn while she solves her mystery. Nothing more. Until more is all Aila desires.
