Abandoned by a cruel fate, lovely Douglass Montgomery lay weeping upon a cold tombstone in an English church. Suddenly, the most extraordinary man appeared. He was Nicholas Stafford, Earl of Thornwyck...and according to his tombstone he had died in 1564.
Drawn to his side by a bond so sudden and compelling it overshadowed reason, Douglass knew that Nicholas was nothing less than a miracle: a man who would not seek to change her, who found her perfect, fascinating, just as she was. What Douglass never imagined was how strong were the chains that tied them to the past...or the grand adventure that lay before them.
