Pages : 555
Book Description
A Stolen Season One small mistake in the past will change everything about her future... Archaeologist Sarah Baxter just broke one of the biggest rules of time travel: leaving a piece of 21st century equipment in 19th century Regency England. Unfortunately, when she goes back to retrieve it, she makes an even bigger mess of things—resulting in the death of an English Earl. Now his brother is not only out for revenge, but he also has Sarah's device. Which means an entirely different approach is needed. It doesn't occur to the new Earl of Earnston that his charming acquaintance is responsible for his brother's death. He is merely swept away by a passion that threatens his very reputation. Yet he gets the distinct impression that Miss Baxter is hiding something from him. Now Sarah must find a way to steal back her device, hide the truth about the earl's brother and—most importantly— not fall in love... A Stolen Season: Bath Nothing can disrupt the flow of time…not even love… Archaeologist Richard can’t abide a mystery. But after one of the most frustrating digs of his career, that’s exactly what he has on his hands. How could an estate simply disappear? What happened to the woman who lived there? Did she flee, or was she murdered? Sadly, there’s only one way to get answers, and that’s to travel back to the place in time he never wanted to revisit—the nineteenth century. Lady Catriona needs a change. A little rebellion against her unfaithful husband is long overdue. This season, she will re-enter society and take a lover who can distract her from the pain of her horrible marriage. Perhaps the handsome visitor from abroad who just arrived in Bath would be up to the task… Decadent, sensual nights melt into the happiest days Richard and Catriona have ever known. But he can’t stay, and she can’t leave—even as enemies threaten her at every turn. Can Richard find a way to save Cait without destroying the timeline? Or is he doomed to lose the only woman he’s ever loved to cruel twist of fate? A Stolen Season: London A shocking secret. A leap in time. A season to steal his heart. Transported back to 1822, Lady Ruby Earnston discovers an unlikely family secret. Drawn into London Society, she also turns the head of the handsome Carter Folley, a dashing Duke with plans for a wife of his own. But losing his heart to Ruby has consequences. Her time in Regency England is scarce. One Season to uncover the truth about her ancestors. A few fleeting weeks to promenade, to be seduced, to fall in love. However compelling the attraction between them burns, even their burgeoning desire cannot bridge the gap of time.
