Publisher Description
From the New York Time bestselling Janet Chapman comes this delightful tale of a young woman who's had enough of men...until she meets her spectacular new neighbor.
Legend has it love is carried on the rising mists of Spellbound Falls, and not even time-traveling highlanders are immune to its magic…
Birch Callahan has seen the trouble men can cause. After witnessing her mother’s four marriages, Birch now runs a women’s shelter and doesn’t want a man in her life. But there’s something about her neighbor, Niall MacKeage. Birch can’t figure out how the cop can be so big and gruff and yet so insightful and compassionate—and sexy. Or how she’s falling for a man who acts like someone from the twelfth century.
Niall knows that Birch is attracted to him, even if she seems to distrust all men. Yet he also knows she has a secret—something that drives her to place herself in harm’s way for the women of her shelter. Niall would gladly rush to Birch’s side to protect her from harm, but with their secrets standing between them, he’ll have to reveal his own truth if he wants to keep her…

Once upon a more enlightened time.....in Maine, near the Canadian border, in a magically charged area known as Spellbound Falls, came a new director of the crisis center, her mother, and her tiny dog. Self sufficient Dr.Birch Callahan begins to settle in despite her next door neighbor, the new police chief Niall MacKeage, who lives next door with his big dog Shep. Their attraction is evident however each comes laden with baggage from their pasts. The question is can they get out of their own way long enough to acknowledge the attraction?
In this, the sixth book in Chapman's Spellbound Falls series, the author has written a wonderful romance paralleling a rip roaring time traveling bunch of 12th century highlanders. The predicaments they deal with are sometimes so humorous you can't help but laugh out loud. The community she has developed has smart, funny people who are easy to believe in. And , before I forget, this is one.romantic.book: a wonderful love story tucked into a magical place full of characters you find yourself rooting for. Highly recommended. 5+ stars
