How Highland Bound Began
Eliza Knight, an award-winning author with a passion for history, launched the Highland Bound series in 2013 with Behind the Plaid. Inspired by her love of Scottish lore and the romantic allure of the Highlands, Knight crafted a story that blends historical accuracy with the fantastical element of time travel. Her goal was to create a heroine like Emma—resilient and relatable—whose journey through love and self-discovery would resonate with readers. The series’ unique mix of erotic romance and historical drama quickly gained a devoted following, cementing Knight’s reputation as a master of the genre.
The Heart of Highland Bound
The Highland Bound series spans six books, each building on the passionate and perilous journey of Emma and Logan. The first book, Behind the Plaid, introduces Emma as she flees her abusive husband during a trip to Scotland, only to be transported to 1543 and Castle Gealach, where she meets the enigmatic Laird Logan Grant. Their instant attraction sets the stage for a torrid affair, but secrets and dangers threaten their bond. Bared to the Laird, the second installment, deepens their romance as Emma grapples with her feelings and searches for a way back to her time, while Logan vows to keep her by his side.
Dark Side of the Laird concludes the original trilogy, delivering a climactic resolution to Emma and Logan’s story, while Highlander’s Touch shifts focus to secondary characters Shona and Ewan, adding new layers to the series’ time-travel mythology. Later books, like Highlander Undone and Highlander Unraveled, revisit Emma and Logan, exploring their struggles across time periods. Themes of empowerment, trust, and destiny permeate the series, set against a vivid backdrop of clan rivalries, political intrigue, and the wild beauty of the Highlands. Knight’s steamy prose and emotional depth make each book a page-turner, blending historical detail with modern sensibilities.
