- The Inscription by Pam Binder (Goodfellow, November 1997).
Amber McPhee, an American vacationing in Scotland, awakens in Urquhart Castle with no recollection of how she got there—and slowly realizes that she has fallen more than four hundred years into the past. She is fascinated by the fierce but gentle Lachlan—and finds herself quickly entwined in his world and his heart.
—from publicity material
“You are at the castle. I pulled you from Loch Ness and brought you here. I am Lachlan MacAlpin, of the Clan MacAlpin.”
She hesitated. “My name’s Amber MacPhee and I was headed here when I fell in.” She pressed her fingers against the side of her head and grimaced. “I feel awful.”

Indexer Notes

- Debut—I read the January 2000 release, set in Urquhart Castle with Lachlan and Amber, but some Amazon reviews attached to the 1997 release of this work are different. They describe a shorter work set in Stirling Castle with characters named Irene and Logan, who are part of a group that was taken back in time several hundred years. But those reviews seem to be about a shorter work, possibly released in December 2014. Ah! There it is: Those reviews are describing the first book of Binder’s Matchmaker Cafe series, Christmas in the Highlands, a.k.a. Match Made in the Highlands.
