Thrilled by the prospect of having a new neighbor with whom she can share her scholarly interest in British Roman history and antiquities, Lady Hilary Merton is stunned, and then angered, by James Wincanon's denigrating assumption that she was feigning her interest merely to attract his romantic attentions. However, when a Druid's curse zaps a first-century Roman legionary into Lady Hilary's life, James and Hilary are forced into an uneasy, and eventually romantic, partnership as they ponder ways to keep his identity secret and return him to his own time. Overflowing with interesting bits of Roman history and dashes of Druid mythology, this well-written, rather unusual story displays Barbour's (A Dedicated Scoundrel, Signet, 1997) typical humor and wit and will appeal to Regency readers who like their heroines intelligent and outspoken and their plots a bit magical.
