Time travel is a fantasy. Isn't it?
Not anymore… Nicole traveled to 1812 and left something behind. Now, she’ll risk everything to return. Unfortunately, it’s not that easy.
She can’t come and go at will and there’s no guarantee where she’ll end up if she does go back. Nevertheless, her love for Flaming Arrow far outweighs the risks.
Sam is a modern day Shaman who agrees to help. In a twisted leap of fate, Nicole’s best friend Tracy goes along and they find themselves running for their lives.
Now, Nicole has three goals. Locate her soulmate. Convince Tracy she's still married, despite the fact her husband hasn't been born yet. And, get them home alive.
Excerpt...
Nicole shook her head to recall the last thing she remembered. When she blacked out, Tracy was beside her. That meant she was inside the perimeter as she began her journey into the past. It explained why they were both in 1812. Poor Tracy. She didn’t have a clue.
“Tracy, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean for you to come with me.â€
Tracy stretched high over her head and yawned, obviously still oblivious to the situation. “Are we in a wagon?â€
“Yes.†Nicole nodded slowly.
Tracy chuckled then looked confused as her eyes darted around the dimly lit quarters. “When did you get a wagon? I don’t remember—†She stopped in mid-sentence and her mouth gaped open when a gunshot exploded from outside.
Nicole covered her ears to muffle the sounds that followed. Only faintly hearing hooves pound the ground, women and children scream and men shout in desperation.
“Is that smoke?†Tracy asked in a high-pitched tone. “Are we on fire?â€
Nicole read her lips and looked to where she pointed. A gray billowy cloud materialized inside the wagon like an apparition and instantly stung her eyes.
Nicole buried her nose in the sleeve of her dress then pulled back briefly to cough out a command for Tracy to do the same. Right away, she saw blood on her sleeve.
In an attempt to escape before flames engulfed the canvas overhead, she grabbed Tracy’s arm, pulled her to her feet and drug her to the back of the wagon. They had to go. Now.
“Wait!†Tracy jerked her arm free in protest. “Where are we? Don’t lie. By the looks of it, I’m guessing— Are we in 1812?â€
Nicole heard her gasp when she confirmed her suspicions with a quick nod.
“Are-Are you serious?†Tracy stuttered. “I don’t want to be in 1812! Okay Niki, you made your point. I believe you can travel in time. I’ll never doubt you again. Now, let’s go home.â€
“We have to go all right. We’re under attack.†Nicole mumbled inches from Tracy’s face. “Home isn’t an option right now.â€
