Publisher's Synopsis
When the past and the present collide, the fate of a kingdom is at stake.
Alixandra Evans has managed to survive after being transported to twelfth-century France, due to Richard, the Duke of Aquitaine's protection. After she falls in love with him, thoughts of returning to her own time fade, but she must remain vigilant. One small misstep could alter the future. To stop a rebellion, she's forced by King Henry to convince Richard to pay homage to his brother Hal, the heir to the throne. Alix has no choice but to comply and pray that her part in history goes unnoticed.
When Richard learns what Alix has done, her betrayal cuts deeper than any wound. He vows to never forgive her. Hal is plotting with Richard's nobles in the hope of claiming Aquitaine for himself. Although he's furious with his father Richard must ask his father for help lest he lose his duchy. Hal's unexpected death changes everything. Richard is next in line to the English crown, but Henry refuses to name him his heir. He hints that he's considering naming his youngest son king instead. His legacy uncertain, Richard makes an alliance which will pit two kings against each other as well as father and son.
After Alix is inadvertently thrust back to the twenty-first century, she discovers that her fear has come to pass. Her presence in Richard's life has changed his history for the worse. Alix's heart still belongs to Richard, and always will. She alone knows what should have happened and will risk everything to change it. If she manages to return to the past can she right history and does the man she love still have feelings for her?
