He’s everything she doesn’t want in a man—analytical, focused on science, inflexible. Or so she thinks until she takes a chance on a date with him. His kisses melt her reservations but her heart remains frozen, trapped by the need to keep a secret: Her eccentric 18th century time-traveling ancestor, Andrew Byrne, who has a habit of dropping in without notice.Cody Simpson thinks Faith is the most beautiful woman he's ever seen. She's also the most annoying. He despises her hard-driving corporate-ladder-climbing mindset and ignores her while immersing himself in his development projects and neglecting his basic duties. Then fate intervenes. Andrew Byrne, Faith’s out-of-town relative who has never used a computer and wears clothes that look remarkably like ones from the mid-eighteenth century, is hired as Cody's new assistant.When Andrew announces his intent to permanently stay with Faith in the 21st century, she needs Cody’s help to transform him from an eighteenth-century landowner to a modern-day computer geek. Faith is the reason Andrew can move through time, a secret she guards for her own safety. But with Andrew bumbling through the basics of 21st century life and a budding romance with Cody, Faith must choose between guarding her secrets and trusting Cody enough to make time for love.Publisher's Note: This Time Travel Romantic Comedy from Louise Clark features clean language and mild sexual content.
