In the autumn of 1707, old enemies from the Scottish Highlands to the Borderlands are finding common ground as they join to protest the new Union with England. An invasion is imminent as many plot to bring the exiled young Jacobite king back to Scotland to reclaim his throne, and in Edinburgh, the streets are filled with discontent and danger. Queen Anne, seeking to calm the situation, has sent money up from London for Scots who took part eight years earlier in the ill-fated Darien expedition that left Scotland all but bankrupt.

When American Lexi Maxwell buys a derelict mansion in a quaint English village and sets about turning it into a manor-house hotel, it’s a dream come true. But events take a turn for the bizarre, as a heartbroken ghost makes a nightly appearance and kneels beneath a tree next to a centuries-old ruin, and people in the village keep commenting on Lexi’s resemblance to a woman who’s been dead for a quarter of a century.

Publisher's Summary
Escape can embolden your soul - or destroy it.
Val Masterson created Vigdis in order to escape the drudgery of her life. Instead, Vigdis starts living it. Val and Karl's house is destroyed by a hurricane, and her husband reveals he can't have children. These catalysts inspire her to write a historical romance novel set in Iceland, rife with sorcery, sexy Vikings, a big family, and a volcano. Val's dreams reveal historical details she can't possibly know, details which prove to be factual, which both frightens and intrigues her. Her obsession with writing puts a strain on her already troubled marriage, but she’s terrified of being on her own.
In her novel, Val becomes Vigdis. She evades two amorous brothers and their sorcerous, drunken father. Their father tries to use black magic to enchant her. The line between past and present grows blurred as Vigdis lives everything Val dreams of - true love, children, and family.
When an attractive Icelandic professor of history helps Val investigate the history behind her visions, her husband draws the line - give up her writing, or he’ll leave. Val must decide whether to resurrect the shambles of her marriage or take her chance in Iceland to discover if her dreams truly do come from the past.
Can she find vicarious solace and satisfaction in her fictional creation? Or will the escape take over and subsume her?
