Where the Ocean Ends by Mia Pride

There is no force greater than a strong woman’s will—not even time itself.

686 AD
She is a woman ahead of her time.
As the sister of the powerful King of the Picts, Murielle Mac Cuill is expected to marry strategically. Clan feuds threaten their borders, and Murielle understands her duty: she must marry a rival king to solidify peace. But when every king falls short of meeting expectations, Murielle dares to pursue the man she truly desires. Her brother and her guard both found happiness with travelers from the future. Now, it’s her turn.

Since the day Samuel stepped onto their land—and into their time—Murielle has been drawn to him and his tales of the future. She is strong-willed, curious, outspoken, and intelligent—an unfortunate combination of attributes for a woman to possess in her era. But Samuel respects her free spirit, and Murielle is determined to marry him and live in 2023… until the day an unexpected visitor arrives from the south. His name is Aldfrith, King of the Britons, and much to Murielle’s dismay, he’s a perfect marriage match. A union between the Picts and their southern rivals would lay generations of feuding to rest. He’s handsome, intelligent, and progressive. His only flaw is the one Murielle cannot accept: he isn’t Samuel Sullivan.
