Worst New Year's resolution…ever.Of course, Cinderella Charming, C.C. to the world, had heard of "marriages of convenience." After all, her parents had named her and her siblings after fairytale characters, even though she resembled one of Cinderella's cute mice friends rather than a princess. She was also an avid romance reader.But when her boss, the insanely handsome star quarterback and playboy Michael Campbell, proposed the fake marriage plan, her rational self screamed its objections. True, she'd be given a generous bonus when the marriage was annulled, so she could open her own restaurant. True, the fake marriage would help improve Michael's image. True, she was in Scotland, one of her favorite places of all time. But C.C.'s main objection, and this was a big one, was that she feared she'd already fallen in love with Michael, and they would be spending New Year's Eve together…alone.

Ever since the sudden death of her mother left Emma in charge of caring for her grandmother and the family's French bakery, she has survived by rejecting change. The last thing she wants is an ex-boyfriend with commitment issues. But while making a delivery to the matchmaker sisters' café, Emma opens a door and is transported to eighteenth-century Paris, on the eve of the French revolution. Björn has made a mess of things. He returned from fishing in Alaska believing his relationship with Emma would go back to the way things were, only to have Emma smash a pie in his face. But when Björn learns she is in danger, he leaps at the chance to save the woman he loves, even if she wants nothing to do with him.

In the Scottish Highlands, and with the last lines of the movie Brigadoon fresh in her mind, Irene Redmond signs up for a tour, hoping to uncover secrets hinted at in her mother's diary. Instead, Irene is transported back in time to the thirteenth century, along with the rest of the tour group. Logan Mackinnon, confirmed bachelor, has put his life on hold to help his father care for his mother and honor her dying wish to tour Stirling Castle. Sparks fly when Logan and Irene meet, but their budding romance is tested when they learn the conditions needed for their return to the twenty-first century. Like Brigadoon, the castle is enchanted, and only a marriage between two people who truly love each other will break the spell- and vows must be said before midnight. Irene expected to unravel family secrets; instead she meets a fellow tour guest whose kisses awaken long-ago dreams of happily-ever-after. But are their feelings strong enough to break the castle's enchantment?
