He hoped
for a wife. He found a companion through time and beyond.
It is 1715
and for Duncan Melville something fundamental is missing from his life. Despite
a flourishing legal practice and several close friends, he is lonely, even more
so after the recent death of his father. He needs a wife—a companion through
life, someone to hold and be held by. What he wasn’t
expecting was to be torn away from everything he knew and find said woman in
2016…
Erin Barnes
has a lot of stuff going on in her life. She doesn’t
need the additional twist of a stranger in weird outdated clothes, but when he
risks his life to save hers, she feels obligated to return the favour. Besides,
whoever Duncan may be, she can’t exactly
deny the immediate attraction.
The complications
in Erin’s life explode. Events are set in
motion and to Erin’s horror she and
Duncan are thrown back to 1715. Not only does Erin have to cope with a
different and intimidating world, soon enough she and Duncan are embroiled in a
dangerous quest for Duncan’s uncle, a
quest that may very well cost them their lives as they travel through a
Scotland poised on the brink of rebellion.
Will they
find Duncan’s uncle in time? And is the door to
the future permanently closed, or will Erin find a way back?

Fun Facts
(Stuff you may or may not already know!)
I am an earthquake survivor. We were living in Peru at the time and I was at home with my mother and baby sister when suddenly everything began to shake. I remember how my mother grabbed hold of me and more or less threw me down the stairs, screaming at me to run outside. The floor tilted this way and that, windows burst apart in showers of glass as the frames bent and broke, but somehow we made it outside. The ground quieted. There were huge cracks in the road, and the house looked sort of awry. This is when the phone began to ring and my mother handed me my sister and told me to hold her and rushed back inside to answer. Seconds later, the second wave struck…
I am happy to report we all survived, but to this day
it takes only the slightest of tremors for me to be wide awake and on my way
towards the door.

I dreamed of being a Navy SEAL – well, the Swedish
equivalent. I spent hours practising my underwater swimming, how to surface
without leaving bubbles. It irked me immensely that my younger sister was a
better swimmer than me, but at least I was much stronger and braver. Of course
I was: I was the oldest, the one who always defended her. Anyway: for years, I
expended ridiculous amounts of hours on improving my physique until the day
when I shared my dream with my father.
He looked rather taken aback. “A SEAL?”
“Yup. Or an explorer.”
“Hmm,” he said. He cleared his throat. “Women aren’t
allowed to become SEALs,” he said. It was the first time—but not the last—I
crashed into the glass ceiling. But hey, at least I’m a strong swimmer.

Show me a dog and I can probably tell you the
breed—even the more obscure ones. Why? Well, I’ve done a stint or two as ring
secretary on various dog shows. It was quite exhausting, because the secretary
is in charge of organising the contestants, and many dogs just don’t like being
organised. And if the owner is inexperienced—in Sweden we rarely use
professional handlers except for the really, really big events—they don’t much
like being organised either. Or being told their dog doesn’t quite have it to
become Best of Breed.

I was once offered a place in Venezuela’s national
softball team. I was thrilled. But it all came with a caveat: I had to become
a Venezuelan citizen.
“Forget it,” my father said. “No way is my daughter
changing her citizenship.”
And there went my only shot at an athletic career.
Today, I am very happy my father refused. Over the last few decades, Venezuela
has slowly but safely gone to the dogs.

I am fluent in three languages. Swedish is my cradle
tongue, Spanish is the language I write poetry in and English is the language I
prefer to read and write in.
“But you’re Swedish! You should write in your own
language.”
Except that English and Spanish are as much my own
language as Swedish—that’s what happens when you grow up abroad. Now and then,
though, I try to write in Swedish. It seems sort of silly to be writing a book
about Queen Kristina of Sweden set in Sweden in English, but no matter how I
try, the end result is flat and boring. Very weird, right?
Anna Belfrage
Had Anna been allowed to choose, she’d have become a time-traveller. As this was impossible, she became a financial professional with two absorbing interests: history and writing. Anna has authored the acclaimed time-travelling series The Graham Saga, set in 17th century Scotland and Maryland, as well as the equally acclaimed medieval series The King’s Greatest Enemy which is set in 14th century England.
Anna has also published The Wanderer, a fast-paced contemporary romantic suspense trilogy with paranormal and time-slip ingredients. Her September 2020 release, His Castilian Hawk, has her returning to medieval times. Set against the complications of Edward I’s invasion of Wales, His Castilian Hawk is a story of loyalty, integrity—and love. Her most recent release, The Whirlpools of Time, is a time travel romance set against the backdrop of brewing rebellion in the Scottish highlands.
All of Anna’s books have been awarded the IndieBRAG Medallion, she has several Historical Novel Society Editor’s Choices, and one of her books won the HNS Indie Award in 2015. She is also the proud recipient of various Reader’s Favorite medals as well as having won various Gold, Silver, and Bronze Coffee Pot Book Club awards.
