BLURB:
EPIC EBooks Award Finalist in
Science Fiction Romance
The Romance Reviews Finalist for
Best in Historical Fantasy/Paranormal
Legends
are fun, but not real. Or are they?
Facts rule twenty-first century
astronomer Caroline’s life. And then she steps through that gazebo’s back doorway
into Regency England, where she meets a man she knows she’ll never see again.
But time travel, though improbable, is a scientific fact.
In mathematician Richard’s world,
there’s no such thing as time travel.
Until a woman who claims she’s from the future demolishes his view of
reality.
But legends certainly aren’t real.
Richard can love Caroline, unconcerned by his family legend. Until the legend
takes control of his life, and Caroline’s, too.
A
mainstream Regency time travel romance novella with science fiction elements. 34,000
words. A new version of the previous work, expanded and completely rewritten.
EXCERPT:
Caroline followed
her host into the kitchen.
He advanced to the banked fire.
Fire? Where were the stove and refrigerator? And all
the chrome and stainless steel of the ultramodern kitchen where she had
breakfasted this morning? This kitchen contained a scarred wood trestle table surrounded
by several chairs. Pots and pans hung on wall racks, the shiny metal reflecting
the dim firelight. A cupboard stood against the far wall, next to a sink with a
pump.
A pump?
With shaking hands, she set the lantern on the table. Then
she pulled out one of the chairs and sagged into the seat.
She was in trouble, very deep trouble.
His back to her, her host busied himself at the
fireplace. He placed the candelabrum on the mantel above the hearth and then
drew aside the fire screen. Dropping onto his haunches, he pulled several logs
from the nearby basket and then arranged the wood into a neat pile on the smoldering
embers. Almost at once, the flames blazed to full, roaring life.
Silhouetted before the light, he straightened and then
replaced the screen. He removed his hat, and, with a flick of his wrist, tossed
the headgear onto the table.
Her jaw dropped. Good heavens, the aggravating man was
gorgeous. Tall and lean, his broad shoulders tapered to narrow hips and long
legs. But where had he found that outlandish outfit? He wore a top hat, out
here in the middle of nowhere. His shirt collar was turned up and held in place
with a huge white tie. And his waist-length, double-breasted jacket had tails,
like an orchestra conductor’s. Muddy black boots with the tops turned down came
up to his knees. Skintight trousers, or were those breeches—of all
things?—emphasized every well-formed muscle.
Now, if his face matched his form...
She shook herself. What was she thinking? She hadn’t
felt anything for any man in a long while. Not since...
Finally, he turned, the candle and firelight for the
first time revealing his face.
She gasped. Had she seen a ghost through the gazebo’s
rear entry? “Richard?”
Puzzlement spread over those chiseled features she now
saw only in her memories. “How do you know my name?”
