BLURB:
Suffering from burnout,
elementary school teacher Sandra Cranston is on leave and trying to eliminate
stress from her life. That plan is blown when she discovers an abandoned
carriage deep in the woods. Inside is a man, Jerrod Ross, who fuels all of her
wicked Regency dreams and fantasies. Take him home? Sure, why not?
Jerrod Ross has been ripped
from the only world he has ever known—1821 Cornwall, England. A mine owner with
many responsibilities, all he wants to do is return to his time. But his
growing attraction for the lovely lady who found him makes staying in the
future a temptation he finds hard to resist.
Torn between duty and desire,
past and future, the hardest thing Sandra and Jerrod will do is admit their
feelings. Or say—goodbye.

Excerpt: Sandra
winked then picked up the shave cream and dispensed some into her hands, mixed
it between her palms, and spread a thin film over his face. In response, he
spread his legs wide, allowing her to step in closer. Good God, he was hard as
stone. All this talk of shaving, the touching, her nearness. Jerrod gazed up at
her, his heart thumping madly in his chest.
Though
she appeared somewhat nervous, he definitely could see desire swimming in her
lovely eyes. How satisfying. Picking up the Fusion, Sandra flicked
the button and a low hum filled the silence surrounding them. When her breasts
slightly brushed by his cheek, he couldn’t stop the low growl from rumbling
deep in his chest. Using one finger, he swiped away the bit of shave cream from
her sweater, right on the nipple. Barely there contact, but enough to have the
simmering flame between them roar to life.
He
slid across the seat so his thighs touched her leg, reached behind her back,
and eased her down until she sat on his leg. “Shave me,” he whispered hoarsely.
Sandra held the razor to the base of his throat and began a slow ascent to his
chin. She twisted, turning toward the sink, and ran the razor under warm water
before turning back to him. Giving him a soft, sultry smile, she scraped him
again.
Her
free hand followed the ascent of the blade, gently caressing his shaved cheek.
God, he was tempted to kiss her right then, instead he leaned back and let her
tender strokes lull him into relaxation. Closing his eyes, he came to the
realization he could become used to this very easily. Some minutes passed and
Sandra continued with her task. In his time, he usually shaved himself since he
was not keen to have a valet fussing around him. However, having her sitting in
his lap perilously close to his throbbing erection, with her warm, sultry
breath surrounding him, appealed to him greatly.
“Kiss
me,” he commanded, keeping his voice low and quiet. Setting the razor on the
counter, she patted his face dry with a cloth, then leaned in and laid her lips
against his. A jolt of heat rolled through him. Tilting his head, Jerrod delved
deeper, cupping her cheeks to hold her still while he tasted her. Sweet and
hot, like a dish of honey warmed over the flame. He swiped his tongue along her
plump lower lip and she opened in invitation. The kiss grew fierce, both of
them hungrily exploring. Sandra met the thrusts of his tongue with insistent
plunges of her own. Passionate. Intoxicating. Yes. This was a kiss worth
traveling through time for.
