Bøker av Christine M Walter

For everything there is a season . . . just not always the season we think. Discarded and embarrassed by her beau at a ball, Ruth Elsegood finds her prospects in 1812 England rather dismal. Her health unexpectedly declines, leading her to time travel to the future, where advanced medicine reveals the bleak diagnosis: cancer. To fully heal, she remains in the modern day, but life there gets complicated when she meets and develops a deep connection with Josh, an adventurous, off-limits modern man. How can she possibly return to where she belonged with her heart intact?Abbie, a modern and lost American traveler, follows Ruth's family through time to 1812 in hopes of finding support with her unplanned pregnancy. Discovering Celeste's infertility struggles, Abbie temporarily stays in the past where she bonds with her new family over tea and ridiculous manners and tries not to fall in love with the shy footman. Faced with breaking the heart of the men they love, losing the connection with their family, and altering the course of the future, Ruth and Abbie must make a choice, one that doesn't have desired win-win results.Unexpected surprises await as love stories unfold, and those who reside at Shariton Park-both past and present-endeavor to find their own perfect timing.

Running from a crazed man through the forest, stumbling through a time portal, and getting rescued by a knight in Regency armor is a perfect recipe for daydreams and swoon-worthy novels. For Celeste, who'd lived through such a plight, it all became too real. She finds herself in a manor house two centuries before her birth with the dashing yet distant Lord of Shariton Park. While he may fulfill her every Mr. Darcy fantasy, he's a little too suspicious about her identity. For his part, Lord Shariton reluctantly accepts the role of guardian to a lady in distress, yet he cannot help his growing doubts regarding the incongruencies in her tale of woe. Nor can he help his growing attraction toward the confounding creature. How can he protect her from the amorous attentions of unworthy suitors, all while preventing himself from falling in love? If you like time travel, humor, and cravat-sporting heroes, you'll love this delightful tale of faux pas and flirtation.

Brides they may be, but love comes unexpectedly... Betrothal to a Highwayman Prim and proper Lady Rachel Augustine sinks lower than she thought possible: she disguises as a man and lingers in a pub full of ruffians of the shameful sort. All for a noble cause, of course-to find her father's killer. Who else could she rely on to bring justice? Certainly not the vexing, handsome man who'd waltzed into her life and thought he could woo her with his teasing. But when things turn dangerous on a dark, quiet road, can she trust her life with this supposed gentleman who poses as a lawless highwayman? Not What She SeemsMiss Nicole Spears's mother does the unthinkable: tricks a kind and gentle widower into marrying Nicole while hiding the fact that she's deaf. Lord Harrell hadn't the foggiest that his fair, new wife could not hear. Neither did Nicole know that he was unaware of her impairment. Can she hope for love and acceptance when supposed rejection threatens their happily ever after? Could someone of his social standing afford to love a woman that society would dismiss? To Win a HeartMiss Aurora Wakefield's dreams of marrying are dashed due to an accident that leaves her feeling undesirable. Since she vows never to marry, her mother plans to force her hand to wed a cruel man. Those plans go awry when Mr. Benjamin Wild clumsily steps in to save her at great risk. Aurora tries to keep her heart intact and secrets hidden by shutting out her new husband. Can she let go of her insecurities and fear of rejection and allow the love that's ready to bloom between them? One adorable novella and two charming short stories will make you laugh, cry, and wish for more.
