Synopsis
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 21stcentury 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...
5plus-Stars Review
A six out of five stars book! I loved it. It is a time-travel historical novel set in 1800s. The book is full of intrigue, romance and thrill. Sarah and Richard journeyed to the past to retrieve something but they made a mistake and now they must return to right their wrong. One season is all they get. If they failed history might change for the worst. So it is crucial that they retrieve that object and return home to the present.I loved Sarah's character and all other characters are well written too. The story is beautifully told. It is so good that I couldn't put it down once I started reading. It's definitely a must read for all readers. I'm sure people will enjoy it as much as I did.
