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.
