Sinopsis:Fairy Hills, Portal Stones, Magic. These were all things of legend.... or were they? Keely Young, an average looking woman from Iowa, on her dream vacation to Ireland would soon be propelled headlong into the mystery and magic surrounding Tapley Folly. She was ill prepared for the discovery of a rugged looking Highlander inside the stone tower, laying near death beside the strangely carved stone. She was even more unprepared for the attraction she felt for this man and who he claimed to be, though who he claimed to be...wasn't possible in the realistic scheme of things. Liam Tapley, Laird of Tapley Manor and Earl of Glen Bally lay beaten, near death. Upon awakening he sees this fair woman, his saving angel and whom he relies on as he is thrust into a world he is ill prepared to understand. Laird Tapley hailed from the Scottish Highlands and became Laird of Tapley Manor via an inheritance. He treated his tenants in a manner forging a loyalty and respect amongst them which would be needed, but it created an animosity amongst other landed gentry of the region resulting in his ending up in the tower. The Year of Slaughter, 1740-1 was a disastrous time in Ireland's history with bitter temperatures causing failed crops, disease and starvation. For reasons unbeknownst to him he had gained a reputation as being a beast. Now he is in an entirely different era, his estate in ruins, as he tries to gain control over his growing emotions towards Keely, as well as figure out what he has to do. Can he return to his own time? Does he want to? If he returns will he become the beast he is accused of being or will he manage to tame it and return to Keely in her time? He too is unfamiliar with the fairy magic and how it worked or if it would work. He had to trust in the unknown to fix his past to return to his future.
