The Reluctant Time Traveler

Susan Jaymes likes to think that she is a normal, modern woman, but she is not: She is a Time Thraeder, a being with extraordinary paranormal powers, including the ability to live for thousands of years and to weave into other threads of time almost as easily as human beings can tie their shoes. Susan shudders to think of such things. She's perfectly happy with her life'thank you very much'and doesn't need anything (or anyone) messing up the equilibrium of her boring (but comfortable) daily routine. Everything changes when she meets Lord Justin Sittwell, a forbidding member of The Council who suddenly appears on her birthday to force her to grow up (at age 50!) and to face her responsibilities and destiny as a Time Thraeder. There's something about this man of the world (and of many times) that Susan finds irresistible, even if he is too abrupt, too self-assured, and too downright cocky. A journey with him to another century might not be so bad, especially if he kisses her again, electrifying every particle of her mind, body, and soul. Susan's first duty as a Time Thraeder is to solve a serious problem for a family living in 19th century England (without resorting to murder). As Justin fulfills his own duty to keep a watchful eye on Susan (before she ends up getting herself hung in the town square), he must also discover why some threads of time are becoming too dark to enter (without burning forever in Hellfire). As their passion grows, they must decide how much they are willing to sacrifice for each other, including the all-too-real possibility of sacrificing their very lives'even their immortal souls.The Reluctant Time Traveler is an offbeat, heartfelt love story between two unusual beings that fall in love at first sight, in spite of physical flaws which do not allow them to measure up to modern, idealized standards of physical beauty. Their love is a match made in Heaven, although Time Thraeders, especially males, are definitely NOT angels.--copyright 2006 by Lynda EymannEymann, Lynda is the author of 'The Reluctant Time Traveler', published 2006 under ISBN 9780977818679 and ISBN 0977818675.
