Product Description
Modern day anthropologist Maya Jones has been contracted by a Scottish university to help unearth and catalog ancient relics within a recently discovered secret lair in what was once the Castle MacGregor. From the beginning of her assignment, Maya has been inexplicably drawn to any references she could find concerning the clan's brutal and mysterious 14th century laird Thomas MacGregor. PEqually intriguing to her are paintings and stories referencing the MacGregor's wife, known to antiquity only as Lady M. The paintings were severely charred in a castle fire run amok a couple of centuries past, but Maya can make out enough of the damaged portraits to surmise that, oddly enough, she and Lady M possess the same hair and eye color. When a ferocious hurricane ravages Maya's hometown, she'll find out that she and the lady's similar physical features are more than just mere coincidence...

This is a story of a pair of female anthropologists that are studying the relics from an ancient castle in Scotland. Maya finds that the painting of the Lady MacGregor is very similiar to her in eye color and hair color. She and her friend Sara are intrigued by the Clan MacGregor.pWhile walking on the beach during a hurricane the two girls are swept bak in time to meet this Clan. Maya and Thomas, the laird of the clan, antagonize each other. both being strong willed and independent. Maya just wants to get home, until she realizes that she has fallen in love with Thomas.pThomas has been taught that women are faithless and untrustworthy. He is unprepared for the force of his attraction to Maya. I will say he is open minded when Maya explains her origins.pThis is a great story and although not as steamy as some of Jaid Black's other stories it is very enjoyable.

What an amazing book! If you're tired of the same old formula when it comes to historical romance then you'll love yourself for getting a copy of After the Storm. This story has everything! From time travel, to humor, to intense emotion and erotic sensuality this book is a definite keeper.pIn the present day Maya Jones is one of the worlds leading anthropologists. After unearthing some amazing artifacts from an ancient scottish castle, Maya finds herself drawn inexplicably to the story of the Laird of the castle. Thinking of taking a small vacation Maya and a friend find themselves participating in a hurricane party on the coast of Florida where *poof!* she and her best friend are swallowed up by the storm and transported through a wormhole into ancient Scotland! Using her understanding of ancient peoples Maya and her friend become part of an ancient and fearsome clan the MacGregors! pMost amazing is that Maya finds herself as drawn to Laird MacGregor in the flesh as her historical view of the Laird. She's never known a more virile or exasperatingly stubborn man. Hilarious hijinks ensue as Maya and the Laird take turns pursuing each other, forging an earth shattering love that spans through the ages and gives birth to a dynasty.pI also recommend Before the Fire also by Tia Isabella and any and all books by Jaid Black.
