As owner of Kilchurn Ltd., Jackson Alexander Kilchurn IV
(Jake) travels the world searching out the rare and unique
gems he uses for his jewelry. From rain forests to jungles
to mines, Jake has seen and survived it all. He's a master
at adaptation. But nothing in this world can prepare him
for the trip he's about to embark on. While on a business
trip for his father, Jake is unexpectedly hurled back in
time to the 13th century. And it's here that Jake's skills
are put to the test.
Sick and tired of being thought of as a commodity by her
father and brothers, Amanda de Piaget is determined to take
control of her own life. She has no desire to be bartered
off and wed to a man who thinks of her as nothing but an
asset to be added to his estate. Biding her time, Amanda
waits until she thinks the time is right and, taking her
father's fleetest horse, makes a bid for freedom and
gallops off to what she hopes will be a new life. What she
finds instead is an unconscious, mostly unclad man lying by
the side of the road. She and her brothers...naturally some
of them have galloped off right behind her...take the man
home to Artane.
Once there, they go about acclimating the stranger to their
way of life. Jake knows nothing about life in the 13th
century. Everything from the language to how to ride a
horse is a mystery to him. Luckily, he's a quick study with
Amanda's brothers as his guides. But it's the lady of
Artane who interests Jake the most. Although they both know
a relationship is impossible, they're drawn to each other
from the first. Call it fate or heaven, some force has seen
fit to unite Amanda and Jake for its own purposes. Are the
lovers strong enough to live up to the challenge? Will they
defy convention and the odds and write their own "happily-
ever-after" chapter in the de Piaget saga?
The de Piagets are an entertaining bunch! For readers of
the series, Amanda is Robin's sister. New readers won't be
lost. There's plenty of backstory to help guide you through
this family's history. Lynn Kurland is one of our most
beloved time-travel authors and deservedly so. Each new
book is cause for celebration!
At last, USA Today bestselling author Lynn Kurland delivers
her newest time travel romance. In the 1200s, Amanda of
Artane has one summer to choose from her suitors--and find
love forever.
