For Melanie, "Be careful what you wish for" becomes "Be careful what you wish on." While examining Andrew Carnegie's lucky rosewood box, single-and-pregnant museum worker Melanie makes a tongue in cheek wish on the artifact—for a Highland warrior to help her forget about her cheating ex. Suddenly transported to the middle of a clan skirmish in sixteenth-century Scotland, she realizes she should have been a tad more specific. Darcy, laird in waiting, should be the most eligible bachelor in Ackergill, but a cruel prank played on him in his teenage years has led him to believe he is too large under his kilt to ever join with a woman. He has committed himself to a life of bachelorhood, running his deceased father's windmills and keeping up the family manor house...alone. Darcy's uncle, Laird Steafan welcomes the strangely dressed woman into his clan, immediately marrying her to Darcy in hopes of an heir. But when Steafan learns of her magic box and brands her a witch, Darcy must do what any good husband would—protect his wife, even if it means forsaking his clan.
CONTENT WARNING: A hot sixteenth-century Scot, pregnant time traveler, and a meddlesome wishing box.
