Fate intervenes to save Ally from her abusive husband who stalks her. Is it a dream, a coma, or is it reality when she is transported back in time to the early 1700s and mistaken for Emily, the 17-year old ward of the King. She fears she has merely traded one prison for another as she discovers she has even less control of her life than she did in her modern life. Ally must adapt her modern independent attitudes to the expected female behaviors and opportunities of the time to be able to find a way to survive in a world where men control everything. She knows she trust issues because of the abuse she suffered at the hand of her husband. She soon discovers that Emily had suffered her own abuse. Ally’s resolve for a new life is put to the test when she is sold into wedlock by the King to Laird John Innes, a former Scottish Privateer, who cashes in a marker from the King to obtain her hand. He hadn't planned on a wife, but discovers a warm, caring woman under the fearful abuse survivor. He just needs to step up to the challenge of helping her heal. He then must protect his wife, who is rapidly becoming the most important thing in his life, from a predator out for Emily’s money and connections.
