Boston, 2010. It's been over a year since Emily Willburne discovered she had the power to travel through time—then sacrificed it forever to rewrite her family's fractured past.
Just as Emily laments her lost potential, her ancestor and former time-traveling companion, Will, reappears asking for help, stealing Emily away on an assignment that could restore the ability to travel between the centuries for both of them.
Boston, 1889. Lady Sylvia Ross is on the run. The beautiful British aristocrat witnessed her husband kill a man for a device she later fled with—and she has no idea what it does or why he'd go to such murderous lengths to safeguard it. In fear for her life, Sylvia promises to hand the device over to a kind, handsome stranger, Will, and his odd companion, Emily—but only if they escort her to America's wild frontier first, where she hopes to reunite with her disinherited brother James.
Will knows he's meant to marry a woman named Sylvia one day. But this couldn't possibly be her; she's already married, and their paths are bound to diverge soon. Emily knows that this time is only an adventure for her, but it could turn into a heartbreak waiting to happen when Sylvia's devastatingly attractive, aristocrat-turned-gunslinger brother enters the mix. Amidst their romantic woes, Will and Emily will have to contend with kidnapping, coercion, and a complex time travel conspiracy that spans the centuries…
