    Summary

    A modern teen AU: Claire Beauchamp never planned on ending up in the Scottish Highlands halfway through fifth year, but here she is: new school, new country, new everything. Jamie Fraser is loud, loyal, infuriatingly handsome, and tangled up with Laoghaire MacKenzie in ways Claire wants nothing to do with. Except… when he looks at her, it feels like he sees straight through the walls she’s spent years building.

    This story follows both of them—dual POV, with Jamie’s chapters written fully in his tone, dialect, and accent (a first for me).

    Don’t count this story out because of Laoghaire—as always, I’m Team Jamie and Claire. Their path is complicated, tender, and sometimes painful, but it’s theirs. And it’s worth it.
