TIMELESS BEGINNINGS By : Amber Daulton
The Plot :
Undercover American operative Rodger Ramsey never anticipated encountering a runaway bride amidst the vast salt flats of Bolivia ’ s Salar de Uyuni . The alluring woman triggers his protective instincts , but her insistence that she ’ s traveled two hundred years through time tests his patience . It ’ s 1963 , and he ’ s a man of science , not fantasy .
Forced into an arranged marriage , Leonora Harris flees her husband ’ s home and stumbles through an underground vortex . Now adrift in a vibrant yet unfamiliar land , she seeks solace in the arms of a captivating stranger . Passion ignites , and the notion of returning to eighteenthcentury England fades into oblivion .
Time is not on their side . Rodger ’ s duty calls him back to the States , and Leonora is trapped without a passport . How will they stay together , or will she survive in this strange new world alone ?
An Excerpt
Even though she ’ d woken up in a cold puddle at daybreak , mystical warmth flowed through her as though fire burned in her belly . She wandered in search of the cave or another swirling portal while that inner fire kept her from greeting death . Then she ’ d met Rodger , and the heat dwindled .
Deep down , she ’ d known the truth , but his confirmation forced her to accept it . She was no longer in England . Or in the eighteenth century . A shiver shot up her spine . Trying to relax , she glanced at Mr . Ramsey . No , Rodger , she reminded herself , a little uncomfortable with the first-name basis . From his dark-blond hair and riveting accent , the handsome man stole her breath .
“ What color are your eyes ?” Heat filled her cheeks . She hadn ’ t meant to ask that .
“ Brown .” He lifted his dark glasses to the top of his head and smiled at her .
They weren ’ t brown . Not even close . They were the shade of dark melted chocolate with highlights of cinnamon woven in . Rich , decadent , and so very appealing .
