A Time of Discovery

By Mindy Lawrence

England, 1947. Twenty-three-year-old Jenny Ellison is gifted, ambitious, and a feminist before her time. Refusing to settle for a career as a secretary, she's studying archaeology at a prestigious university and closing in on her dream: to win the Amity Scholarship and work in Egypt.

A brilliant young professor, Dr. Daniel Carter, leads an Egyptian research team on campus. Rumors swirl about his personal life and cryptic military background, but shy, reclusive Daniel has little interest in refuting idle gossip. He devotes himself to his craft and is more surprised than anyone when a friendship with one of his new assistants (the lovely Jenny) begins to bloom.

While translating an ancient Egyptian mural, Daniel and Jenny stumble upon a shocking, 3,000-year-old secret: something lies hidden in the desert. Though they long to travel to Egypt and find it, their mutual admiration has evolved into an intense - and forbidden - attraction that could destroy everything they hold most dear. When Daniel receives a series of anonymous threats and Jenny's reputation is maliciously sabotaged, the couple must race against time to clear their names, unmask their enemy, and decide what lengths they will go to for love.

I never meant to leave my world. Will I survive his?

Ellie James sells soap at her parents' Renaissance Faire - and loathes it with a fiery passion. Faerie wings and fancy gowns could never improve on Ellie's charmed life. Her reality is better than any fantasy.

Yet when a strange encounter at the Ren Faire transports Ellie to the land of the Fae, she must admit the unthinkable: Faeries are real. Magic is real. Even worse, the Fae are clamoring for war with humans. If Ellie's true identiy is revealed, she will be executed at once.

Terrified and adrift, Ellie forms an alliance with Finn, a reclusive and unusual Fae. Secrets threaten them at every turn, yet all the while, an ancient magic beckons. Home may be within Ellie's grasp ... if she can convince the faeries she's not a human.
