Erika Mungan has been living a moderately dull life. With her sister, Lyla now living in the highlands of medieval Scotland. Erika feels far more alone than she has ever before. With the same routine of returning to her empty apartment and returning to work, only to run numbers for her demanding father, Fergusson. Erika wonders if she, herself should have remained there, especially when her mind thinks back to burning green eyes of the man who broke her heart.
When her conniving father demands that she and her brother Ralph return to the year 1286, she not only has little choice but a small hope grows that she may lay her eyes upon the man she left all those months ago.
Thirteen years have passed since his life changed irrevocably...
