Dr. Aubriella Byrne isn’t the adventurous sort. The most daring thing she’s ever done is travel to visit her cousin in Kent to research her doctorate. Until she catches a glimpse of a man in another era through a mirror—she takes a leap of faith and goes to his time to find him.
Killian Lynwood, Earl of Thornbury finds Aubriella wandering the lands outside his castle. She has an ethereal beauty and frailty that makes him want to protect her. Safeguarding those he loves has been his duty since he was a small boy, starting with his mother. Aubriella quickly becomes a female he cares deeply for.
Aubriella isn’t sure if she should tell him who she is, or more importantly where she’s from, but secrets and lies have a way of unraveling. Killian has a few of his own he doesn’t want to come to light. The decision to trust each other is a hard one. Sometimes love isn’t enough and their secrets might destroy everything.
This is the 8th book in the Linked Across Time series. This series sells well.
Lady Callista Lyon, the Countess of Marin, glanced around the ballroom. A bevy of intricate gowns and equally elaborate masks filled the room. It was a sea of color that washed the senses with awe and amazement. Champagne flew freely amongst the guests; as soon as a glass was emptied, another would take its place. The Comte de Dreux was well equipped to throw the best balls, and no one turned down an invitation. It sickened her. This was the man responsible for ruining her happiness, and she alone would ensure he paid for it. But there were other things she must accomplish first.
Where was that blasted servant? Callista stared around the room anxiously.
“Pardon me, My Lady,” a female said from behind her.
Callista turned and noticed the servant she’d been searching for. “It’s about time,” she said, her breath hissing out. “Your tardiness could’ve ruined everything.”
Her anxiety level was at an all time high. The spy business was starting to take its toll, and she didn’t like it. Perhaps she was aware she was on the edge of finishing her task. Soon she’d have her vengeance and could retire from her role as a secret agent for England. She hadn’t started on the path to espionage for the sake of one country’s gain. It had all been for Edward. Once those who killed him were taken care of, her duties would be at an end.
