Publisher Description
Portia Hastings has spent her life rescuing her younger sister from one scrape or another. Now, she has to step through time to do it, following Miranda from the nineteenth century to the eighteenth. Almost immediately, Portia is beset by highwaymen, which might be the most exciting thing to happen to her in a long time, even if she’d never admit it.
When one of the highwaymen is injured, Portia makes the inexcusable mistake of helping him—she is trained as a doctor after all. Her travel companions abandon her, and she’s left at the mercy of a highwayman who demands she continue tending to his compatriot’s wounds.
Portia soon finds herself at a crumbling castle inhabited by the destitute Earl of Ravensford. Benedict Sterling is in desperate need of money, and his solution is a ball, where a wealthy bride will win the title of countess, even if it does come with one thunderously ill-tempered earl.
Portia agrees to a scheme to help Benedict look like a slightly more appealing bridegroom, while she continues to search for Miranda. Then there’s the small matter of the castle, complete with a ghost intent on driving her out. But once Portia sets her mind on something, she’s not going anywhere.
Customer Reviews
Definitely re-read worthy
I received this ARC for an honest review. I’m addicted to this series! I love everything about it! I love how each book is about different characters but still brings in the previous characters. I love Kelley Armstrong’s writing. I love her world and character building. She brings every character to life.
This story is about Portia (Miranda’s sister) and Ben. Miranda and Nicolas (from A Turn of the Tide) went back in time to help a ghost of a young man’s family, but they failed to come home. So, Portia is going through the stitch to find them. After going through the stitch, Portia was able to find passage to the city of York. On her way, the coach was robbed by highwaymen; but she stayed with the highwaymen because one was injured. That’s when she met Ben.
I’m not saying more because I want you to give this series a chance. I normally hate re-reading a story, but I have re-read this series. And will again! I love it so much!
Kelley Armstrong’s quality of writing is amazing!
