When reluctant time traveler Alex ended up at the feet of Matthew Graham in 1658, her life changed dramatically. It changed again when the Graham family moved to the American Colonies to escape religious persecution. Maryland offered them an opportunity to make a new life, but with a new land came new enemies. Also, despite all the years in Maryland, Matthew Graham still longs for home, so when an opportunity arises to return to Scotland, he takes it, never mind that it tears Alex in half to leave what she considers to be her home—and her large family—to accompany him. Scotland, however, does not welcome Matthew with open arms … In this boxed set, Matthew and his Alex will not only travel through the Caribbean in search of an enslaved nephew, they will also return to Scotland, and have to hasten back across the seas because of threats to their family. As excessively exciting as always, as Alex would put it.
