The Timekeepers Crossing - Mystic Lee

She crossed time. He gave her his name. History came hunting.

Ava Vance has spent her life studying old records, not becoming one.

When a strange Highland artifact appears at the Texas Archive Center on her twenty-seventh birthday, Ava finds her own name in an impossible parish record-born in 1999, dead in the eighteenth century, and listed as the wife of a man she has never met.

Then the silver pendant wakes.

In a breath, the archive vanishes. Ava falls through time and wakes among the standing stones of 1777 Scotland, cold, hunted, and holding the name of Callum MacLeod.

Callum does not trust the woman who appears out of the mist knowing his name. But when Crown soldiers begin searching for the mysterious stranger from the stones, suspicion becomes danger. To protect her from a law that would gladly turn her into a prisoner, spy, or witch, Callum offers the only shield powerful enough to hold.

His name.

A vow spoken for survival becomes a record the world intends to test. Every page written to protect Ava binds her deeper to a century that should not know her. Every question brings Wallace, a relentless Crown investigator, closer to the truth. And every moment beside Callum makes the impossible choice harder.

Because Ava may have crossed time by accident.

But staying might be the first choice that is truly hers.

The Timekeepers Crossing is Book One in Highlander Across Time, a slow-burn time-travel Highland romance filled with ancient stones, dangerous vows, protective heroes, clever heroines, old records, hidden magic, and a love that becomes shelter without becoming a cage.
