Recommended Reading Order

To get the most out of Angeline Fortin's Highland time-travel romance, you should follow the publication order. The series features a recurring mystery involving an enigmatic Scotsman named Auld Donell and an overarching time-travel plot that connects the characters across different books, culminating in a major crossover finale.

  1. A Laird for All Time (2011) – Dr. Emmy MacKenzie is pulled from a modern castle tour to 1895 Scotland, where she is mistaken for the long-lost wife of Connor MacLean.
  2. A Time & Place for Every Laird (2013) – In a reverse time-travel twist, modern lab worker Claire Manning helps an 18th-century Highlander, Hugh Urquhart, escape from a research facility in the 21st century.
  3. Taken (2014) – Actress Scarlett Thomas is transported back to 1513 Scotland on the eve of the Battle of Flodden, where she meets the brooding Laird Colby Hepburn.
  4. Love in the Time of a Highland Laird (2015) – Scientist Allorah Maines is accidentally sucked through a wormhole into medieval Scotland and captured by the roguish Keir MacCoinnach.
  5. A Laird to Hold (2017) – The grand finale brings Scarlett back to the modern day while Laird Hepburn crosses centuries to protect their family, uniting the couples from the previous books.

Why Publication Order is Mandatory

While the first four books focus on individual couples, they are not completely standalone. Auld Donell’s continuous time-manipulating schemes weave a web that finally pays off in the fifth book, A Laird to Hold. Reading out of order will spoil the fates of earlier couples and lessen the impact of the final crossover event.
