A 21st-century artist romanced by a Founding Father in the shadow of a revolution. A fiercely loyal protector torn between a MacKlenna Clan crisis and an impossible rescue. Two timelines collide in a desperate gamble for love.
Sophia Orsini treats history as her personal studio. But when her magic Celtic brooch catastrophically fails, she is stranded in Paris in July of 1789-just as the French Revolution erupts in fire and blood. Saved from the violence on the streets by the American Ambassador to France, Thomas Jefferson, Sophia finds comfort in his presence as she clings to the hope that her malfunctioning heirloom will eventually work and carry her home.
Pete Parrino has never forgotten Sophia, the woman he loved and married twenty years ago. After her parents ruthlessly annulled the marriage and banished her to Italy, a family priest convinced Pete to let her go and honor her parents' wishes. Heartbroken, he finished college, joined the Marines, and later became an NYPD detective, while Sophia was left believing he simply didn't care enough to come for her.
When a work trip takes Pete to Florence, he happens upon her art studio and discovers a shocking truth: Sophia has vanished into the past. He immediately prepares to launch a rescue mission. But destiny throws a terrifying curveball when JL-his former NYPD partner who has always had his back-and her husband, Kevin, are involved in a devastating plane crash, triggering a massive MacKlenna Clan crisis that delays his trip.
When the two timelines finally collide, Sophia is forced to confront the ultimate truth about her heart and discover whether the greatest love story of her life belongs in the past or awaits her in the future.
The Pearl Brooch is a sweeping, high-stakes time-travel romance where historical intrigue, modern-day chaos, and a profound second chance at love collide.
