Cross Stitch

Prequel to 'Dragonfly In Amber'.

Claire Randall is leading a double life. She has a husband in one century - and a lover in another . . .

On holiday with her husband just after the war, she walks through a stone circle in the Scottish Highlands and into a violent skirmish taking place in 1743.

A wartime nurse, Claire can deal with the bloody wounds that face her; it is harder to deal with the knowledge that she is in Jacobite Scotland and the carnage of Culloden is looming. Marooned amid the passion and violence, the superstition, the shifting allegiances and the fervent loyalties, Claire is in terrible danger from Jacobites and Redcoates - and from the shock of her own desire for a courageous renegade.

Romantic and thrilling, written with humour, colour and passion, 'Cross Stitch', the first in a series, is unique.
