Two complete love stories in one beautiful book. Time travel... is just the beginning.

She never thought time-travel was real. Until it happened to her...
Researching her father's journals in her spare time was the only experience Francine had with time-travel so when she's tossed back in time, she regrets she didn't pay more attention to the past... of course that's only after she finally admits to herself that she has been tossed into another world, much like a Victorian freaky-Friday.

The first thing Francine had to reconcile was that a woman in Victorian England was a commodity. She's owned. Francine was no longer the powerful business woman she'd been only moments ago and on top of it all she's being chased b a man who wants her dead, or worse.

Her only chance for safety lies in Gideon Trumbull the lionhearted—but evasive—duke who discovered her, terrified, running for her life, at the edge of his lands.

What began as a compulsion to learn anything she could about him turned into an urgent need and she found herself in an inescapable new reality—a world in which she doesn't belong.

Meanwhile... Gideon's brother Perry has likewise been caught up in an incident. Finding a stowaway housemaid in his carriage as he's bound for London will be the most life-changing moment of his life.

She plots to seduce the rake who refuses to touch her.
Propriety be damned.

Getting him to teach her what love is... seemed like just the right challenge to sooth her damaged soul. Until the man who chased Francine sets his sites on someone much more accessible.

The entire Trumbull family comes together to protect the women they've accepted into the fold in the first installment in the Trumbull Family Saga, The Rake and The Recluse.
