Historical author Bella Ryan is fascinated by a portrait of the legendary Morven Maclean, an 18th century Highland Laird who removed his troops from Culloden but then allowed his clan to be slaughtered by the English. "Black" Maclean has spent 250 years 'in-between' worlds, and is given a second chance at mortality,but he needs to right the wrongs of his legend. Wrongs his actions directly caused. He goes back to his land, at Loch Fasail, where Bella is trying to research her book about his life. A ghost, he has no power to change time, but gradually is able to be seen--and felt--by Bella. Can their love return him to mortality? But how can he change something that happened in the 18th century when he's now in the 21st century? Fate has brought Bella and Maclean together across the centuries for a purpose that will endanger them both and test the boundaries of their love, and perhaps change history.
