She's driven off an icy bridge but she isn't dead. What's with that? Peta Matthews has been rescued by the Time Guardians so that she can fulfill her destiny – to save Max Wolfe. Who just happens to be the man of her dreams. Why these strange people think she can do anything with Max, she has no clue. She's just an average Brit who loves books. Max, on the other hand, is one handsome-as-hell sex machine who seems way out of her league. Peta hasn't the faintest idea he's got more than an urge to check out her chapters. He wants everything. He'll even drink tea, if necessary.

Together, they will face some nasty goings-on in their small New England town. Murders will intrude on their growing passion, and they must learn to do more than make love to each other if they are to survive. Sometimes it's not clear exactly who is the hero... perhaps the only one who really knows is the cat...
