She went looking for a lost whisky. Finding the Highland rogue of her dreams was definitely not part of the tasting notes.

Olivia Bennett can identify a whisky by smell before the glass reaches her lips. She grew up above her grandmother’s pub in South Boston, learning every bottle on the back shelf long before she was tall enough to reach them.

These days, people pay very good money for that nose, which is how Olivia ends up in the Scottish Highlands trying to recreate the legendary lost whisky of Glenbrae Distillery. But a mysterious old woman, an ancient whisky cup, and a Highland storm send Olivia tumbling through time to 1786.

Jamie Campbell is a whisky smuggler, shameless flirt, occasional lawbreaker, and charming Highland rogue who takes one look at the strangely dressed woman who’s appeared near his smuggling route and decides she’s either a spy or completely mad.

Olivia takes one look at Jamie and decides he’s exactly the sort of man sensible women avoid. Unfortunately, Jamie can fix anything that breaks, rides like he was born in the saddle, quietly looks after half the glen, and never once explains whisky to Olivia.

For a woman who’d recently begun wondering what happened to rock stars, action heroes, and men who could actually do something useful with their hands, Jamie is an alarming development.

Before long, Olivia is helping Jamie smuggle whisky past the king’s excise officers, improving the ghosts haunting his ruined castle, and falling dangerously hard for a man who belongs to another century.

And if the doorway home ever opens again, Olivia will have to decide whether to return to the life she knows or stay with the Highland rogue who’s stolen her heart.

A witty, swoony Highland time-travel romance filled with whisky smuggling, sparkling banter, found family, one questionably haunted castle, highly opinionated Scottish grandmothers, and a charming rogue worth crossing centuries for.
