Jennifer MacLeod McKinnon is ready for it to be her turn.
Sure, she's talented and successful. A thoroughly modern
Millie; independent and on her own; happy and self-
sufficient; career-minded and...and who's she trying to
convince? Jennifer wants more. Politically correct or not,
she wants a man. And even though she hasn't exactly been
beating the bushes, her eyes have been open. Trouble is,
she's been looking toward the future when she should have
been looking in the past. Yikes! Hers is a family that
can't keep both feet planted firmly in the present.
Jennifer finds her man, Nicholas de Piaget, in the year of
our Lord 1299. She knows she's out of time and he knows it
too, but she can't seem to get back. Sure, she knows where
the time gate is, but something (or someone) is keeping her
firmly in the 13th century. Nicholas is single, handsome,
has a sense of humor and is completely charming. He's also
headstrong, stubborn and determined that he's not going to
fall under Jennifer McKinnon's spell. He's also a little
jealous. Jealous of the other men in the keep who
are falling for the beautiful little time-traveler.
Nicholas curses his fate, but gives into it all the same.
Meanwhile, Jennifer is finding that life isn't all fun and
games in the past. She's traveled to a time where life is
hard and everyone is expected to earn their keep. There's
also a fanatic who watched Jen come through the time gate
and is anxious to see her burned as a witch. Actually, he's
looking forward to doing the job himself. And like
Nicholas, Jennifer knows where she belongs...or doesn't
belong. That big brain of hers is telling her to go back
home, but her heart...well, her heart is whispering that she
just might already be there.
Another winner by Lynn Kurland! The time-travelers
are expanding their family with new friends and relations.
The sisters are all settled and happy with their men and
the future looks bright indeed!
Jennifer McKinnon is convinced there are no more knights in
shining armor-at least not in Manhattan. Little does she
know that a hero of legendary chivalry waits her...800
years in the past.
