About this ebook

Self-determined Jessica Brewster is wary of any emotional relationship, after being betrayed in a bet. When the beloved grandmother who raised her dies, she inherits a mysterious teacup which when rubbed transports her back to 1886 in Old Fort Laramie, switching places with her look-alike great-great-grandmother—wife to her ancestor’s magnetic first husband and mother to his charming nine-year-old daughter. Can she pull off the charade and find a way back, or will conscience and her twenty-first century “slips” expose her identity? As true love—and a gypsy—derail her plans, her ancestor’s brother shows up with his own dark secret. Is her future in the past? Her decision could save her life...and her legacy.

Ratings and reviews

I absolutely loved this book and could not put it down. I read a short Candy Hearts story by the author already (Hot Stuff, a short, sweet contemporary "novelette") and I fell in love with the author's storytelling, voice, and style right away. I've become a pickier reader but I love love love her style. I knew this one would be just as great. I could really tell that the CJ Fosdick did her research (I'm a sucker for historic settings that whisk me away to another time and place). Reminiscent of Outlander (so if you love Gabaldon's books you'll love this one!), we have a modern gal transported back in time, but she becomes her ancestor! I loved Jess and Mitch. The story-line flowed naturally (as did their love). I read the blurb for the next book (though this book is a fabulous stand-alone) and I can't wait to dig into that one, too. I need to know more about Mitch and Jess!
