WILMINGTON, NC, December 04, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Maxine Mansfield was chosen as a finalist in the '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading' Book Awards Contest. Mansfield's 'Time for a Highlander is an engaging time travel romance novel set in the backdrop of 1643 Scotland. Mansfield was chosen as a finalist from a field of hundreds of authors by public vote.
"I wrote Time for a Highlander because I believe there are times in everyone's life when they'd love to have the chance for a do-over, a new start, or even a better ending to their Happily-Ever-After," Mansfield stated. "It' s my hope that, for a little while anyway, this story pulls you right out of your day to day life and into what could've, should've, might've been."
In the storyline of the book, forty-five-year-old history teacher Bethany Anne Anderson wasn't supposed to die on her dream vacation to Scotland. Someone else was supposed to rescue the child from the falling druid stone. But she's perfectly fine with moving on to the hereafter. She has loved ones waiting for her. Then Tobias Morie, better known as Fate, steps in. Her intervention has changed the future. Before she can move on, she must first help him correct one of his own mistakes. That's fine until she wakes up in 1643 in the body of twenty-year-old Lady Elspeth Frasier. Worse, she's engaged to the very handsome, very young, very virile Quinton MacLeod. But that's not all Fate demands. She must give the Highland laird the heir he'd originally been denied.
Quinton MacLeod loved once. He won't do it again, even if he had time for such nonsense. With the Highland lairds divided between loyalty to their beloved country and the English king, he seeks only peace--in his keep and in his heart. But raised in England and a ward of the enemy, his beautiful new wife has strange notions of education and cleanliness that cause chaos within both. There's also the matter of her very unlady-like views on the marriage bed, which, come to think of it, he's more than happy to overlook. If only he could trust her. Maxine Mansfield: Romantic fiction for all your happily-ever-afters.
Maxine's works have received rave reviews from readers. One Amazon review said, "Quinton is the perfect alpha hero." Another reviewer called the book the "best time-travel romance I've read recently".
