Publisher Description
There’s no time like the present … if you’re running away from the past.
Tess Alexander has it all: family within reach, work she loves, and the chance to live in a perfectly restored medieval castle. But then a trip to the village brings her face-to-face with the new owner of the local garage, who looks a great deal like the man who married her sister … eight hundred years in the past. She’s determined to remain objective about magic and destiny, yet she can’t help but wonder about the mysterious, sword-wielding mechanic…
As far as John de Piaget is concerned, he has no past; it’s safer that way. The last thing he needs is the nosey medieval studies scholar from the nearby castle dredging up ancient history—his ancient history. But from the moment he lays eyes on Tess, John can’t help but wonder how he ever took a decent breath without her … or how he’s going to protect her from the treachery that threatens both their futures.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
After a detail-heavy start that quickly catches the reader up on the events of recent installments, Kurland's 14th Piaget family time-travel romance (after One Enchanted Evening) embarks on a solid and intriguing story. Tess Angelina Alexander has inherited Sedgwick Castle, a genuine English castle complete with barbican gate, three portcullises, ghosts, and a gift shop run by Mrs. Tippets and her guard dog, Mr. Beagle. When Tess encounters the new local mechanic, John de Piaget, she's thrown for a loop by his resemblance to the man who married her sister Pippa eight centuries in the past. The inevitable sparks and complications fly in immediate, action-packed adventure. Tess and her bevy of sisters take time travel in stride, and the mechanics are consistent if somewhat sketchy. This entertaining tale will please Kurland's fans with familiar characters, quirky and authentic details of castle living, and high-spirited banter.
