Dodging desperate women eager to bag him as a husband is not Jay Dugan's idea of a good time. He'd much rather find out how things tick. When the god of time offers him a job maintaining that clock for the universe, Jay jumps at the offer. There are only two rules: Maintain the clock and beware of ghosts from the past.

Anysia Willot wants nothing more than to join her dead fiancé on the Other Side. Nysia's one chance is to trick Jay into stopping the clock; and she'll use any means necessary, including seduction.

As the clock counts down to New Year's Day, Nysia finds herself being seduced by both the technology of this new world and Jay. Can she stay with Jay? Or will time stop because the past isn't finished with her?
