Romance Time Travel | Romance Historical

Hugh is on a mission of murder: he is desperate to get revenge on the swine who murdered his beloved older brother, even if he has to travel through time to do it. Hugh intends to kill his brother's murderer and take a certain map back to his own time in order to ruin the man's future happiness and wealth. However, in his quest for revenge, accompanied by two other time-travelers, he discovers that the person he had always hoped to protect is in the way of his vengeance. Joss would do almost anything to keep her mother's little map-making company, Brand O'Malley, afloat, and she thinks she is marrying the prince who will help her do just that. Instead, with some urging from her friend, she starts to realize she may need some more adventure in her life. When an angry time-travelling sea-captain ends up naked in her office, she realizes that she may have more adventure than she can handle! ACHING FOR ALWAYS is a fantastic book: not only is the storyline interesting, the way it is told is excellent. Cready does a fantastic job weaving snippets of narrative styles into the work to keep the plot flowing.

SUMMARY

RITA Award–winning author Gwyn Cready continues the “sexy fun” (BookPage) of her charming time-travel adventures with a high-spirited tale of a modern-day mapmaker and the eighteenth-century English navy captain she can’t resist. Ambitious and feisty Josephine “Joss” O’Malley has spent years fighting to keep her mother’s map-making company alive. Just when she finds herself considering taking a risky next step with bad-boy entrepreneur Rogan Reynolds— whose generosity has helped keep the business afloat—Joss meets dark and mysterious Hugh Hawksmoor. Hugh’s deft touch and old-world seduction stir Joss’s desires like a storm at sea, and she has no clue that he has sailed three hundred years into the future to avenge the death of his brother at the hands of her father. Or that she holds the key to a map that will help him undo the destructive changes her father wrought in the past. When Hugh lures Joss into a treacherous journey through time, there’s not a twenty-first-century trick that can save her. But when she applies her own instincts to a course she thought was set, she discovers that the high seas hold some scandalous surprises.
