“What if” game seeded my love for Time Travel Romance
Have you ever
played the “what if” game? Like after an important job interview or a book
pitch with that awesome editor you’ve been stalking…er…I mean researching, your
mind rewinds, replaying every single word you said and you think, “What if I’d
said…? What if I’d told them…?” Would it have made a difference? Would I have
won them over? And then you think, “Well crap on crackers! I wish I could
rewind time and say (insert witty and awe-inspiring words here) instead.”
Awkwardly shy
introvert that I am, I am an expert at the “what if” game. Been playing it for
years and wishing I could have any number of “do-overs” to better present
myself in whatever situation I’d just muddled through. And I’ve decided that’s
most likely why I’m so fond of the time travel romance genre—both reading it as
well as writing it.
My Highland Hearts
series is about the Sinclair women. Granny and her four granddaughters. Time-runners.
The females of the Sinclair bloodline are able to skate back and forth across
time at will and also control a specific set of powers such as healing,
premonitions, and the talent of looking through a person’s thoughts and memories
like flipping through the pages of a magazine. And since Granny’s getting up in
years, she’s determined to see each granddaughter happily married to the
perfect Highlander—the Highlander that Granny has seen through visions that her
granddaughters are destined to love.
The only kicker is that these perfect Highlanders happen to reside in the thirteenth century. That’s the century in which the Sinclair women were born before resettling to modern day Kentucky to survive. No modern man could ever meet Granny’s standards and besides, fate has matched her granddaughters with Highlanders from the past.

That’s the century in which the Sinclair women were born before resettling to modern day Kentucky to survive.

In this scintillating novel from the author of My Tempting Highlander (“Another exciting
and heartwarming time-travel romance.”—Vonnie Davis), the ladies’ man of Loch
Ness meets a hot-tempered lass who sets his heart aflame.
Though part of a legacy of time-traveling sisters, Lilia Sinclair is planted firmly in twenty-first-century Edinburgh. Her granny’s matchmaking with thirteenth-century Highlanders isn’t about to lure her into the past, especially as ancient Scotland enters troubled times. After all, Lilia is blessed—or cursed—with dire prophetic visions. To protect herself, she’s put up an icy emotional wall no man could cross—until a pair of gorgeous, rippling arms breaks right through.
Graham MacTavish is pure trouble. Once the dragon bound to Loch Ness, he’s transformed into a philanderer of the first order. In fact, because of his dalliances with other men’s wives, a rival clan wants his head on a pike. Before he provokes an all-out war, Graham is banished to the twenty-first century, where he must win Lilia’s hand—or return to die. But after meeting a lass as fierce as any Highland warrior, Graham knows one thing: life with Lilia, in any century, is a fate to embrace.

very clever premise for the series. A great way to mix modern with a colorful past and ensure the women aren't locked in a confining mindset. Good job.
Thank you, Linda. I must admit, it was rather fun putting myself in the situation of a person totally unfamiliar with their surroundings and figuring out how I would react so I could help my hero and heroine survive! ;-)
Ilove your fresh, original premise, too, Maeve!I'm dying to find out how you resove things. And between the fish-out-of water aspects and Granny, there's plenty of room for humor.
Thank you, Sarah!
Maeve, love your post! I'm not a fan of Time Travel but your premise has me rethinking what I'm adding to my TBR pile!
That's awesome, Judith! I do hope you discover some Time Travel stories you enjoy. It's my favorite genre (obviously--*big grin*) and the premise opens up so many possibilities! :-)
