Love, Loch : A Laugh-Out-Loud, Slow-Burn Time-Travel Romance With Highland Charm (Timeless Love Chronicles: An emotionally rich time-travel romance with cozy spice Book 4)

Destiny isn’t done with him.

From bestselling author Heather Grace Stewart comes a sweeping, slow‑burn time‑travel romance about legacy, longing, and love that refuses to let go.

Loch MacDowell has spent his life running from fame, expectations, and the shadow of the Portal that changed everything for his family. But when a mysterious voice calls him “Stray” and the rebuilt Gateway at Loch Ness erupts in light, Loch is pulled through time—and into 1647 Scotland.

There, he meets Paisley Bruce: a guarded, sharp‑tongued artist who has been painting visions of him since childhood. She doesn’t trust easily. He doesn’t believe in destiny. But the moment they meet, sparks fly, the air shifts, and the past tightens its grip.

Stranded in a century he was never meant to see, Loch realizes something is deeply wrong with the timeline—and that his arrival in the past is no accident. While he tries to send warnings forward, Mills, Cal, Cam, Lila, Taylor, Gibby, Hamish, Mac, and Moira refuse to let him vanish into history. In 2050, they work together to uncover what happened…and how to bring him home.

As danger closes in on both sides of the centuries, Loch and Paisley are drawn together by a connection neither can explain, and a future neither is sure they can choose.

Perfect for fans of Outlander, The Time Traveler’s Wife, The Seven Year Slip, and slow‑burn romances with emotional punch, Love, Loch delivers destiny, danger, found family, and a love powerful enough to echo across centuries.
