In this time travel, historical romance, Julia Pickett, 25 years old and within hours of becoming engaged to a wonderful man, steps over a threshold in the old courthouse and is confronted with the unfathomable. A Yankee soldier sits atop his horse where, less than an hour earlier, she had parked her VW Passat. When the terminally curious Julia goes to investigate, she is confronted by a charismatic young bushwhacker named Zeb Bonard who first holds her at gunpoint, but in no time at all persuades her to help him break his brother out of jail. In just one day’s time, Julia goes from being a well-respected historian in 2015 to a wanted criminal almost a century and a half before her own birth.
Julia is soon hopelessly entangled in every aspect of life along the volatile Missouri-Kansas border during this bloodiest of wars in U.S. history. She runs the gamut of emotions but, ultimately, she must choose between two centuries–and two men. One offers her a safe if lack-luster life in the 21st century, but a well-intentioned desperado beckons her from across the border of time and Julia isn’t sure she can resist his call.
