A time-travel adventure she never wanted . . . with the man who broke her heart.
When Ellie Hartford goes on vacation with her two little girls to England, she thinks it'll be a relaxing time to catch up with her friend Jane. They'll go on long walks in the beautiful English countryside, eat delicious food, see a few sights, and catch up with her best friend, who—bonus—lives in a partially renovated castle. They are stunned when John, an ex-boyfriend of Ellie, shows up drunk, hand-cuffed in ancient manacles late one night. Handsome and kind neighbor Harry helps get John uncuffed, but the mystery remains—what happened to John? A medieval treasure trove is revealed. When the force of broken hearts wields more influence than Ellie could have foretold, she is pulled back to the year 1344, to the reign of Edward III, and the founding of the Order of the Garter.
With her knowledge of the medieval language and culture, she must navigate the intricate world of feudal England, with its tournaments, knights, chivalry, dancing, and feasts.
Not to mention the distraction of two men eager to tear down the walls she's built around her heart.
Contains mature themes.

      Carolle debuts with a richly detailed time-travel romance. Massachusetts Middle English professor Ellie Hartford brings her two daughters for a visit with her oldest friend, Jane, at Jane’s historic English property, Wodesley Castle. She’s hoping to avoid Jane’s brother, John, Ellie’s college ex-boyfriend, but when he shows up haggard and confined in ancient manacles, she reluctantly listens to his fantastical story of spending time in the 14th century. It seems far-fetched, but Ellie soon sees the truth of it when John lures both her and family friend Harry through a portal back to 1344. Now Ellie must put her knowledge of Edward III’s reign to use as she desperately works to get home to her children, even as she and Harry become further entrenched in a tournament being held at Wodesley castle. Meanwhile, John works toward his own hidden agenda. Carolle makes the love triangle that emerges between these three protagonists utterly believable and brings delightful specificity to her depictions of life in a medieval castle. Outlander fans will be well pleased.
