Ariana has been battling unhappiness for most of her life. Ostensively, things were fine. She had a great job and a pleasant enough life until she met a stranger and life took on a completely different turn. This book is a wondrous discovery of the past with a vision so clear it's astonishing. Readers are taken back to England's Regency period—a forgotten time where Ariana is transported. She is faced with daunting enemies, jealousy, the unraveling of long-buried secrets, and threats to her very life. But all this is of no matter, for the predominant strain is the magical personality of a man and a bond so strong and so powerful that it becomes impossible to get over it in the past life or, indeed, in any other.
