It only took twenty-four hours for Samantha Arneson's world to change drastically and there was no logical explanation for it. Divorced, forty and needing a complete change, she ditched a logical, safe world back in England and took off exploring other parts of Europe. A rather embarrassing circumstance in Venice propels Sam into a bold interaction with a handsome stranger. Had she left things alone her safe little life would have continued. But it was not her destiny. A passionate kiss transcends her right into his world of 1865. Was it irrational, destiny, or a bump on the head? With no apparent possibility of returning back, it all simply starts to unravel.
