Abby Shore is putting herself through classes by "flipping" homes -- a fancy way of saying renovating rundown money pits -- but it pays the bills. She finally finds the perfect home she can call her own, and it just happens to be the neighborhood haunted house. Abby decides to remove a pesky wall and finds a strange water tank behind it. Unfortunately, when her sledge hammer shatters it, she finds herself a hundred years in the future.
Dr. Shane Maddox's interest in the beautiful girl on the subway becomes reality when she conveniently arrives at the same restaurant. After an impromptu introduction to Abby, he's unable to stop himself from asking her out. His life takes a bad turn when she stands him up and he meets his fate in a darkened alley. Shane and Abby's path will cross again, but at what cost to those they care about?
This fourth book in Dorchester's Shomi line proves to be a brilliantly written sci-fi romance with a futuristic twist that's addictive until the last page. Definitely a recommended read.
Abbey Shore never intended to be the savior of the world;
it was just something that happened--like her father's
tragic death and the fact that she's now poor
and "flipping" houses to finish college. And there's more:
behind a crumbling wall in her current renovation, a
swirling vortex hides. It's a gate, a portal--and it will
not only cast her in the arms and power of the enigmatic
yet doomed Dr. Shane Maddox, but also into the clutches of
Lucinda, the eerie, leather-clad beauty who shadowed his
every move in the Sacred Heart ER. Abbey will soon be one
hundred years in the future, in a dying land filled with
roving bands of humans fighting for survival, and
the "ticks" against whom they fight. Oh yes, Abbeys' life
has had a Twist.
