The Highlander's vow versus the surgeon's oath… Angus MacLeod is always getting everyone else out of trouble. When a bonnie lass appears naked on the beach, he's compelled to rescue her. Only, Lila Salinas doesn't need saving. Her oath as a surgeon is to heal others, even when yanked back to 1692. Angus is immediately intrigued with the take-charge lass. His father gravely injured, so her appearance holds whispers that everything happens for a reason. Lila is anxious to get back to modern times, but she can't leave a sick patient. The longer she remains in the 17th century, the more distant her dreams in the 21st feel. She flirts with the idea that staying is perhaps more destiny than chance. Angus is convinced the healer from the future is his Fate, and he's determined to have her for keeps. He just has to persuade her they're destined, and their love is worth fighting for.
