The Wife who Loved Him Twice
One blinding flash of lightning changed her life. Another could end it.
Avery Hale is a woman of routine. As the owner of a cozy bakery in 2028 Texas, her world is defined by the scent of cinnamon, the warmth of her ovens, and the memory of the grandfather who left her everything. She has no time for romance and even less for the elaborate costume ball her best friend is dragging her to.
But when a freak lightning strike hits her bakery, the world Avery knows vanishes in a roar of thunder.
1814 North Yorkshire, England.
Gabriel Ashford, the battle-scarred Lord of Briarwood Manor, is a man haunted by the sea. Three years ago, his young wife Eliza drowned in a storm, leaving him drowning in a different way-in debt, resentment, and a grief so sharp it's turned to ice.
When he finds a woman crumpled at his gates, he's certain he's seen a ghost. She has Eliza's face, Eliza's green eyes, and the unique gold wedding band he carved with his own hands. But this woman calls herself Avery. She speaks of "bakeries" and "Texas," and looks at him not with love, but with the terror of a woman facing a madman.
As Avery struggles to survive in a world of rigid social codes and drafty stone manors, she is caught between two powerful men: Gabriel, the brooding Lord who fluctuates between flashes of old passion and cold cruelty, and Colonel Arthur Sterling, a wounded war hero who looks at her with an understanding that feels dangerously like a shared secret.
A ghost's tongue in a stranger's mouth.
Is Avery a miracle, a coincidence, or the key to correcting a tragic past? As fragments of another life begin to bleed into her own, Avery must decide if she is fighting to get back to the future or if she has finally found the home-and the husband-she was always meant to love.
Step into a sweeping tale of time travel, Regency intrigue, and a love that refuses to stay buried. Perfect for fans of Outlander and A Knight in Shining Armor.
