| Carla Morgan spontaneously accepts an invitation to travel with a friend to research a 19th Century English castle. Carla waits in the library while her friend interviews the residents and falls asleep reading an old book of poetry. She wakes disoriented and finds a deliciously arrogant man with more than enough sex appeal to curl her toes. He is actually a 19th century Duke who is determined to make her forget all about her life in 2004. Sinclair, Duke of Heath, doesn’t want another wife but this disrespectful vixen would have piqued his curiosity even if the soothsayer had not predicted that she was his destiny. He cannot resist the attraction he feels for her but as they come to know each other better he realizes they share more than simple lust. Carla is equally determined to find a way home from 1811, feeling she cannot leave her family or friends thinking she disappeared without a trace. Carla will have to decide where she truly belongs if she can solve the riddle of the time portal that can transport her to 2004. Sinclair wants her to stay, but she must make the final choice of where or when to call home.
Choices is a spicy romance that will keep you guessing with interesting twists about whether these two lovers are really fated to be together. Sinclair, Duke of Heath, is a sexy domineering hero.
