Love Beyond Hope: A Scottish, Time Travel Romance

by Bethany Claire

Overview

Love is the most powerful kind of magic.

Baodan McMillan values many things in life: friendship, loyalty, kindness, but certainly not love. After the tragic death of his wife many years ago, he hardened himself to the idea of giving his heart to another. There is but one lass who can thaw his chilly heart, a lass he's never met nor knows of, a lass whose birth won't occur until centuries after his death...

Mitsy Fredrickson is in serious need of a distraction. With the ink still drying on her divorce papers, she flies to Scotland determined to forget about her own problems by helping her best friend re-enter reality. She knows Bri's claims that she is able to travel back in time and is currently living in the year 1647 are a lie but, instead of locating her friend, Mitsy falls prey to the same magic and is quickly forced to believe the impossible. Modern and sassy, Mitsy finds few who know how to take her fiery personality in the seventeenth century, but she finds her match in Baodan, laird of McMillan Castle. He is her opposite in every way, yet she feels balanced in his presence. The more time she spends with him, the harder she falls. She suspects he feels the same way, but something is holding him back--a dark secret from his past that even Baodan doesn't fully understand. Mitsy works to uncover what is hidden in the hopes that with resolution Baodan will be free to love her. But the truth is darker than she expects, and it threatens to destroy them both.

About the Author

fairytales as if she was sharing life-saving information. As she grew, she began creating stories of her own, but convinced it would serve her best to follow a "conventional" career path, she tucked them away and went off to college. Fast forward four years and about six major changes later, she realized the stories simply were not going to stay tucked away. Six months away from graduating with a degree in Elementary Education, and growing more miserable with every day that brought her closer to a career she truly didn't want, she finally realized writing was the only career that was going to make her happy. So, one day in the middle of a summer education course, she got up in the middle of class and walked to the Registrar's office and withdrew from the university on the spot. Since then, she has devoted herself to writing full-time and is following her dreams. Bethany is the author of the Scottish, time-travel romance novels Morna's Legacy Series, which includes the novels, Love Beyond Hope, Love Beyond Reason, and her debut novel, Love Beyond Time. She lives in the Texas Panhandle with her two loyal and perfect dogs. Read more about Bethany at www.bethanyclaire.com

Editorial Reviews

"I've read all of the Morna's Legacy series that are available to date. I met Baodan and Mitsy in previous books and was so happy to meet them again and join them on THEIR journey. Yes, these books are all part of a series, but you can read them alone (if you can;) ). I've lost a lot of sleep reading Ms. Claire's books because I am unable to find a place to stop for the night! If this is the first time you've read one of Ms. Claire's books, you will become a believer." - 5 stars, Love to read

"I just love time travel Scottish romances and as stories go this is now one of my favorites. There are other stories in this series before and after this one but I had no trouble getting into this story even though I haven't read the others yet. They are now definitely on my to be read list! I felt the characters and the whole backdrop of the story were well developed and I felt a little like I was there watching it all unfold. I loved that she made the characters seem so realistic with their own distinct personalities and flaws and even though some characters had tragic or sad past histories they were able to rise above that and find love. This is definitely one story that I recommend you read if you like the Scottish time travel romance genre." - 5 stars, DebG

"I love Bethany Claire's characters - complex and quite charming and thoughtful. In a time when charming and thoughtful were not necessarily thought of as attributes in a man, this author makes them so in her books. It takes a very strong and secure man not to be threatened by a independent, resourceful woman, and these characters have all the assets we look for in romance. Maybe, finding them in an unexpected time and place, is the real charm. The author's welcoming writing style invites you into the story in such a manner that you feel a part of it, and are very happy to be there - skillfully drawn down the path of expectation, remorse, surprise, disappointment and joy. I am already looking forward to the next book in the Morna's Legacy Series!" - 5 stars, E Halliday

"Love this book. The characters are fascinating and the story was amazing with all the characters lives and their hardships and it makes the reader want to keep reading more until you have to finish the book. Love everything about this book. Highly recommend." - 5 stars, Reynaldo

"Each of these two exceptional characters deserved to have their own stories - both standout characters. What better solution would be to pair them up together. This was an interesting storyline with a mad Scotsman included- which makes it a standout story 6 star rating." - 5 stars, Jan
