The Sterkarm Handshake (Sterkarm #1)
The sixteenth-century Sterkarms are tough, determined, and brave. They are also vicious, violent, and dirty, and spend most of their time warring with neighbors and stealing livestock. But what they lack in charm, they make up for in pristine land.
Scotland in the sixteenth century is teeming with natural resources and fossil fuels that the twenty-first century lacks. FUP, a modern-day corporation, intends to make billions by mining the past with an industrial secret: a time machine. To facilitate their plunder, they send Andrea Mitchell, an anthropologist with a knack for languages, through the Time Tube to the sixteenth century to study the community. There, she meets Per Sterkarm, a handsome young warrior, and despite their differences, the two fall in love. When Per learns of FUP’s intentions, he vows to protect his land and destroy the invaders. In the bloody battle that follows, Andrea will have to choose not only to which side she belongs, but also which century…
A Sterkarm Kiss (Sterkarm #2)
Having returned to the twenty-first century she was born into, Andrea Mitchell tries to forget her travels through time—and more specifically, her sixteenth-century lover, Per Sterkarm. She never felt at home in her own century, but it looks as though she’s stuck with it.
Then Andrea’s former boss and enemy, James Windsor—executive of FUP, the corporation responsible for the creation of the Time Tube—offers her another chance to travel back to the past. She jumps at it, hoping to rekindle her romance with Per. But it’s not the homecoming she had hoped for: Per doesn’t know who she is. . . . It seems Windsor has found an alternate sixteenth-century Scotland, and there, Per is not quite the man Andrea fell in love with. Now, wrapped around Windsor’s finger, the Sterkarms are on the verge of a bloody feud with their long-standing enemies, the Grannams.
But Windsor’s manipulations can’t stand against the wiles and cunning of the Sterkarms. With Andrea’s help, they will turn the tables on both the Grannams and the “Elves” from the future. Beware the Sterkarms!
