The leap was just the beginning…

From bestselling author Heather Grace Stewart comes a gripping, time‑torn love story about devotion, resilience, and the fight to find your way back.

Amelia “Mills” Sutherland never expected to build a life in 1645 Scotland, let alone fall for a modern‑day Highlander with a steady heart and a stubborn streak. But when the Loch Ness Portal surges to life, one misstep tears her and Cal apart, flinging them into different centuries.

In modern‑day Aven Valley, Callum MacDowell is desperate to return to the woman he loves. To get back to Mills, he’ll face the Campbell brothers, unravel the Portal’s secrets, and team up with unlikely allies—including Mills’ fiercely protective best friend, Lila, and his own brother, Cam. Cal will challenge time itself if that’s what it takes to find his way home.

Back in 1645, Mills is fighting her own battle. Raising their child alone was never part of the plan, and danger is closing in: whispers of a massacre, a traitor hidden among the clan, and a future she may not survive. With the MacDowells at her back, kick‑ass boots on her feet, and a claymore in hand, she’s determined to protect their family and leave Cal the clues he needs to find his way back to her.

Because if time thinks it can keep them apart, it’s about to learn what they’re made of.

Perfect for fans of Outlander, The Seven Year Slip, Christina Lauren, and About Time, The Love Quest is a sweeping time‑travel romantic adventure filled with heart, danger, found family, and a love that refuses to follow the rules.
