There's no time like the present . if you're running away from the past. Tess Alexander has it all: family within reach, work she loves, and the chance to live in a perfectly restored medieval castle. But then a trip to the village brings her face-to-face with the new owner of the local garage, who looks a great deal like the man who married her sister . eight hundred years in the past. She's determined to remain objective about magic and destiny, yet she can't help but wonder about the mysterious, sword-wielding mechanic.As far as John de Piaget is concerned, he has no past; it's safer that way.
The last thing he needs is the nosey medieval studies scholar from the nearby castle dredging up ancient history-his ancient history. But from the moment he lays eyes on Tess, John can't help but wonder how he ever took a decent breath without her . or how he's going to protect her from the treachery that threatens both their futures.
