On a personal note: This is a great series with time travel, adventure, romance and history. With it being a full series it is hard to put in a detailed synopsis of each one, I will include the Wikipedia of the first novel if you want. The audio books are already posted but the ebooks aren't, Enjoy.

Here is the full summery of book 1:

Claire Randall is a practical woman, a nurse in the British Army during World War II. She and her husband Frank, who were separated during the war, have recently reunited and are enjoying a second honeymoon in Inverness, Scotland. They married there and they believe, the war did not scar so much as it had England. Frank also combined their holiday with some research into his family tree, investigating an ancestor named "Black Jack" Randall, who was a Captain in the Army in the 18th century.
After seeing some obligatory Scottish sites, such as Loch Ness, Claire goes to a nearby site of standing stones to collect plants with a local amateur botanist. He shows her a group of standing stones on the hill of Craigh na Dun. When Claire tells Frank about them, he decides that he wants to see them in hopes of observing a Druid. When they arrive, they witness a group of local women enacting an old pagan ritual. As a history professor, Frank is fascinated; Claire, a budding amateur botanist, is particularly captivated by the flowers and herbs she finds, although the unusual ritual is of interest to her.
After a strange stormy night, when Frank sees what he thinks is a ghost, clad in highland dress including kilt and sporran, staring up at Claire through their window, Claire returns to the stones to collect a specimen she saw the day before. She realizes that she can hear a buzzing noise coming from the stones. The buzzing gets louder as she gets closer and placing her hand on one of the stones, becomes disoriented and blacks out. She wakes up to the sound of a battle off in the distance. Thinking it is a re-enactment or a movie set of some sort, she thinks nothing of it until she tries to find her way home. Things have changed inexplicably, including the fact that her ride is gone. Struggling to find her way back and make sense of her surroundings, she is detained by Captain "Black Jack" Randall, who is, incidentally, the six times great-grandfather of her husband, Frank. To add to her confusion, he is her husband's doppelganger. Unfortunately for Claire, Randall has earned the "Black" in spades and proceeds to attempt to assault Claire, asking her why she is travelling alone in a "state of undress" and concludes that she is a prostitute. She is saved by a short, gnarly Scotsman named Murtagh, who knocks Randall unconscious and takes her to the other Scotsmen of his party who have been rustling cattle.
Still befuddled, Claire cannot understand the situation, and is further puzzled by the men's reaction to her short dress, which everyone thinks is a "shift," and that her legs are bare. Forced to travel with them through the Scottish countryside, Claire sees the lack of modern technology and roadways. She begins to wonder what exactly has happened as the "costumes" and weapons are very realistic. Claire rides with one of the younger Scots, Jamie, whom she met and fixed his dislocated shoulder, after he was wounded during an altercation with the English under "Black Jack's" command.
The Scots are returning to their home, Castle Leoch, seat of the Clan MacKenzie. When questioned by the laird, Callum ban Campbell MacKenzie, Claire claims she was sailing to France to visit relatives and that she lost her gown, luggage and servant when they were attacked. The Scots are very suspicious of her, wondering exactly who she is. Unfortunately nothing can be proved one way or the other and after seeing a letter Callum is writing and figures out when she is for the first time: 1743. The Scots do not trust Claire, viewing her as a "Sassenach"--an outsider to Scottish Highland culture and an Englishwoman to boot--though she gradually earns their acceptance due to her work as a healer. However, throughout the novel, the Scots think she is an English or French spy.
In a grave error of judgment, the war chieftain (think executive officer) of the clan, Dougal MacKenzie, takes Claire to the English for questioning, putting her in the hands of none other than "Black Jack" Randall. After delivering a gut punch, thinking this will make her tell him the truth as he is equally suspicious of her, he demands she be brought back at a later date so that he can interrogate her further about who she is and where she's come from. In order to save Claire from this, Dougal realises the only way to make sure he doesn't have to hand her over to Randall is to make her a Scotswoman legally. He decides she should wed Jamie, solving two problems: "Black Jack"'s demand she be handed over and solving the problem of Jamie being a threat to Callum's son, Hamish, taking over as chief of Clan MacKenzie after Callum's death. As Jamie says a bit later, "Being half MacKenzie is one thing...being half MacKenzie wi' an English wife is quite another" (p. 300, mass market edition). Dougal suggests this to Claire -for her, the quintessential rock-and-a-hard-place with bigamy thrown in for good measure. Claire, after a few stiff drinks, eventually agrees and marries Jamie in the same church - much to Claire's horror - in which she married Frank.
Now by this time, in the best of an arranged-marriage tale, Claire finds that she and Jamie are falling in love, despite her loving Frank and is filled with guilt. Claire's healing skills as a 20th century nurse have saved Jamie several times by now. But as the story progresses, her underlying motive is still to find a way back to the mysterious stone circle. She wants to return to her own time and to her husband, who she is convinced must be worried sick. As life continues at Castle Leoch, Claire's knowledge of the future, her marrying Jamie, and a healthy dose of bad luck, and jealousy, lead to a charge of witchcraft. Thrown into a dismal hole with another accused witch, Geilie Duncan, to await trial, she is rescued in the nick of time by Jamie. During her escape, she realizes that Geilie Duncan has a vaccination scar and must be from the future as well. After they escape, Claire is finally forced to confide the truth to Jamie ...about who she really is and where she is from. Out of love for Claire, Jamie takes her to Craigh na Dun, so she can return to her own time, but Claire decides to stay.
They head for Jamie's home, Lallybroch, but their happiness doesn't last. Jamie has a price on his head and is betrayed by Ronald McNab, a crofter, who is angry with Jamie for insisting that his son becomes a stable-boy after Jamie realizes Ronald has been mistreating the boy. Jamie is taken to Wentworth Prison and sentenced to hang. Sadistic Jack Randall is also transferred to the prison to deal with Jamie's arrest and takes the opportunity to torture Jamie. Claire and Murtagh track Jamie down, and with the help of Jamie's MacKenzie clansmen, they free him from Wentworth Prison. Unfortunately, Jamie promised Jack Randall that he'd sleep with him if he let Claire go. Jack had had other plans for Claire but in revenge, Claire told Jack that she was a witch and cursed him by telling him the date of his death.
Aided by a former suitor of Jamie's mother, Ellen MacKenzie Fraser, Claire patches Jamie up and they escape to France with Jamie's godfather, Murtagh. Arriving in France, they head for the Abbey of Ste. Anne de Beaupre in France, where Jamie's paternal uncle is stationed as Abbot. At Ste. Anne's, Claire tries to heal Jamie, but discovers that broken bones and stitching guts is simple compared to repairing the damage done to his mind. One night, determined to reclaim Jamie from Jack Randall, Claire summons and confronts his demons. As he recovers, Jamie tells Claire that his life is hers, that she should decide, will they go "to France, Italy, or even back to Scotland?" for "[they'll] need a place to go, soon." But his Uncle, Abbot Alexander, has provided a direction...a letter of introduction for Jamie, "an efficient linguist and translator", to none other than King James of Scotland, living in Rome with his sons Bonnie Prince Charlie and Henry Stuart. Claire and Jamie decide Rome it will be, "to do what they can"(quotes from this paragraph, p 620, Dell Trade Paperback).
And at the last, as they emerge from the healing waters of a sacred hot spring under the Abbey, Claire reveals that she is pregnant with their first child.
As the first in what is now at least an eight-book series (Book 7, An Echo in the Bone, was first published in September 2009, and promises at least one more book) of Claire Fraser and her Highlander husband Jamie, the story is an integral step in a bestselling and surprisingly rich tale spanning the time from the Scottish Rising of 1745, to the American Revolution.
