Publisher Description
Francine Larrabee is in a car accident and suddenly she's a woman with no name and no home in Northern England, near the Scottish border, in the year of Our Lord... 1880.
Francine is catapulted into a world that threatens her life, and is kept by a man who may destroy her sanity. Isolated from the world she grew up in, without so much as a glimmer of the world she knows she must survive amid the sudden danger, violence, and passion.
Francine learns her only chance of safety lies in Gideon Trumbull, a lionhearted—but evasive—duke. What begins as a compulsion to learn anything about him becomes an urgent need to posses, and Francine finds 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 runaway housemaid in his carriage as he's bound for London. His brother is going to kill him if something happens to one of his staff. That something being his rakish brother Perry, of course.
But his stowaway, Lilly, has another idea. She plans on seducing a rake who refuses to touch her. It seems like just the right challenge to sooth her damaged soul.

Customer Reviews
Love, lust and murder
Two brothers who are royalty meet women who they fall in love. There is lots of lust, loving with details galore. But the story has a plot and lots of adventure too.
Wow
This is an awesome book! At first I was thrown off by the pictures but as I went on it added so much more to the story! I loved the story line. I would like to have a sequel and pick up where it left off.
You Have Too Read All Of Them
These stories were great. I downloaded all of them together.
I did like the pictures. I think people just don't know that you are a photographer too. If you look at them closely just for artistic value alone they are very beautiful. I don't normally like historical romance but I do like the time travel romances. They tend to let you dip into the historical without being overwhelming.
These stories flowed lovely and I hate to say it but I do wish to know how his brother thought about the marriage. I wish you to continue the story maybe with one of the cousins. It would just be so nice. I will say you do paint a very pretty picture of details and surrounding. That may be others may not enjoy the photographs as much. I did not feel that they were a distraction. I enjoyed a moment to stop and reflect on the story being told.
