In a stunning debut novel, Pain Binder evokes the Highland mysteries of Loch Ness to create a shimmering love story that crosses the boundaries of time.

Amber McPhee, an American vacationing in Scotland, awakens in Urquhart Castle with no recollection of how she got there—and slowly comes to realize that she has fallen more than four hundred years into the past. She is fascinated by the fierce but gentle Lachlan—and finds herself quickly entwined in his world and his heart. Their eternal bond has shattered the barriers of time...but can they triumph over a deadly foe with whom Lachlan must do battle? Or will the legend's dark prophecy come true?
