Romance Time Travel

Campbell Stratford covets the executive director position at the museum. She knows that in order to eliminate her competition she will need more than her acquisition of a Van Dyck. She needs a book deal, preferably a lucrative one, but first she needs the juicy tidbit to make her book on Anthony Van Dyck unique. While doing some research on the Internet, she hits a key that transports her back in time. She ends up in the house of Peter Lely, Van Dyck's successor as royal painter. Here gossip abounds, and Campbell just needs to steer the conversation in the direction she needs it to go. With the firsthand research, she figures her book is bound to be a hit. Unfortunately, she has been misdirected. Well, she knows how to turn the tables. Will Campbell's efforts earn her the position she has been pining for? Will fate intervene and take her on another crazy ride?

Peter Lely desires to be reborn as an artist. When the Guild, the group who directs souls in the afterlife, offers him a mission with the chance for him to be reborn, he takes it. Of course, he has ulterior motives for being transported to that place and time which he considers a side mission that must be accomplished. Once he realizes that the intended spy is the woman in his arms and not the man he was expecting, he feeds her the false information and considers his mission completed successfully. However, he never expected her to retaliate with a fictography of him, and besmirch his beloved's name besides. His honor demands that he correct the travesty he caused no matter the consequences to his promised future. How far is Peter willing to go? What price will he ultimately have to pay?

Gwyn Cready sparkles with this romantic time traveling gem. She once again sends her readers tumbling as she weaves the past and present together to create an unforgettable journey. Campbell Stratford must have the stars aligned against her since nothing she does ever seems to go her way. Peter Lely only wants to correct the one thing he regrets most. They never anticipated a quirk in the universe would bring them together for a memorable meeting only to tear them apart. Ms. Cready always pens delightful tales where the characters are fun and witty and the dialogue makes you laugh out loud. FLIRTING WITH FOREVER irresistibly charms us and compels us to finish this vivacious and sexy romance. I love Ms. Cready's work, and will be on the lookout for the next grand adventure.

SUMMARY

Art historian Campbell Stratford is about to make a name for herself with her scandalously sexy tell- all "fictographies" of famous seventeenth-century artists, but she's more intimately familiar with her subjects than her eager readers can imagine. Thanks to a time portal she accidentally discovered, she has caused quite a stir in the Great Beyond. To save their reputations, the Guild protecting dead artists convinces playboy Peter Lely, portraitist to the king, to sabotage Cam's latest project. A few hours posing on Sir Peter's modeling chaise leads to a night of seductive passion--then Cam returns home and discovers his betrayal. But before she can turn her angry pen on her lover, Sir Peter makes a surprise visit to the future and transforms Cam's twenty-first-century life into chaos of classic proportion.
