The battle was raging, the air hot with smoke, loud with rifle fire. Then the air turned dim with an eerie mist, and for Jason Tarkenton, captain of the Confederate cavalry, the true nightmare began. Vickie Knox was today's woman dressed like yesterday's, wearing Yankee garb to play a part. But playacting ended when a Reb stepped out of the mist and took her prisoner--for real. They never should have met, never should have battled--never should have loved. But something had gone wrong with time itself, weaving together past and present like torn threads of a tattered tapestry. Something had gone wrong, and in mending such shredded silk, their love--and their lives--might be the final sacrifice.
I think this must be a reprint? Since I like Civil War of the Americas stories, I bought this one thinking it was new. Believe I read this long long time ago. So you might want to check your keeper shelves before buying. Jason Tarkenton is a Confederate, caught in the hell of battle. The air is so thick with gunfire that he cannot find his unit. It gets thicker and thicker, until he makes a wrong turn, a la Twilight Zone and steps into modern day and right into the middle of a Civil War reenactment. Vickie Knox was no Scarlett O'Hara, but a Yankee lady, and her dress reflects that. So when the handsome, sexy Confederate comes riding out of the mist, she thinks he is just another reinactor. Only this Johnny Reb is playing for real. He takes her captive making her think this man has taken his role a bit too much to heart, until he gradually makes her understand he is from the past. Excellent Time-Travel skillfully done.
I think it's a wonderful romance
