THE STERKARM HANDSHAKE by SUSAN PRICE
A Sterkarm Handshake is slang for a promise never intended to be kept, named for the people known for plundering the Scottish border. Now the people of the 21st century have found a way to come to the 16th century, which is ripe with historical detail and natural bounty. Anthropologist Andrea falls in love with a young Sterkarm warrior. When he realizes the true potential for destruction from the future travelers, he leads his people in a war against the intruders, and Andrea must choose sides.
