Abandoned by a cruel fate, lovely, thoroughly modern Dougless Montgomery lay weeping upon a cold tombstone in an English church. Suddenly, as if in answer to her prayers, the most extraordinary man appeared. He was Nicholas Stafford, Earl of Thornwyck... and according to his tombstone he had died inĀ 1564. Tall, broad of shoulder, attired in gleaming silver and gold, he was magnificent. Drawn to his side by a bond so sudden and compelling it overshadowed reason, Dougless knew that Nicholas was nothing less than a miracle: a man who would not seek to change her, who found her perfect, fascinating, just as she was. Yet she could not imagine how strong were the chains that tied them to the past... or the grand adventure that lay before them...

I read this book years ago, and it remains one of my favorites. I love the time travel theme; it's a great escape! (If you liked this book, check out the Outlander series from Diana Gabaldon!)

Romance and time travel combined. An unlikely story about a modern woman and a knight from long ago, but the writer makes you believe it's possible. I enjoyed this one.

Enjoyable. The 2002 version has been rewritten from the 1989 version. I read the version. Light romance with timetravel between now and medieval England.

Absolutely the best book ever written by Jude Deveraux. The plot is awesome. A lot of research had to go in to this book because of the details she writes about in the midevil period...just a really great book.
