Unlikely allies, bound together by a desperate desire to change their destinies.
Bridget Gowan embarks on a journey to Scotland, carrying out her late mother’s final wish. However, fate has other plans in store for her.

Exhausted and emotionally drained, Bridget finds her hotel reservations accidentally canceled, leaving her stranded without a room. With her tears already dried up from the pain of the past year, she musters the strength to accept the only available option—a room in the Highlands, hours away from her intended destination.

As Bridget reluctantly embraces her unexpected detour, she encounters a shimmering haar—an ethereal mist beckoning her touch. Little does she know that this encounter will propel her over two hundred years into the past, where she meets Callan Breckenridge, a 19th century Highlander.

Callan is on the run from a future he never sought, haunted by the pursuit of his relentless brother. In Bridget, he sees a solution to his problems—a chance to form a temporary alliance that could benefit them both.

She agrees to Callan’s proposition of a sham marriage—a charade that will free him from an unwanted arrangement while offering Bridget the protection of his name and family. Their pact is meant to last only until Bridget can find the shimmering haar once more and return to her own time.

Yet, amidst the breathtaking beauty of the Highlands and the warmth of newfound relationships with the Breckenridges, Bridget’s resolve wavers.

Will she heed the call of the mystical mist, or will her deepening affection for Callan be enough to make her stay?

With the shimmering mist’s reappearance on the horizon, Bridget must make a choice before circumstances decide for her.

This enchanting romance, presented from dual perspectives, is free from explicit violence or steamy scenes.
