RITA Awardโwinning author Gwyn Cready continues the โsexy funโ (BookPage) of her charming time-travel adventures with a high-spirited tale of a modern-day mapmaker and the eighteenth-century English navy captain she canโt resist.
Ambitious and feisty Josephine โJossโ OโMalley has spent years fighting to keep her motherโs map-making company alive. Just when she finds herself considering taking a risky next step with bad-boy entrepreneur Rogan Reynoldsโ whose generosity has helped keep the business afloatโJoss meets dark and mysterious Hugh Hawksmoor. Hughโs deft touch and old-world seduction stir Jossโs desires like a storm at sea, and she has no clue that he has sailed three hundred years into the future to avenge the death of his brother at the hands of her father. Or that she holds the key to a map that will help him undo the destructive changes her father wrought in the past. When Hugh lures Joss into a treacherous journey through time, thereโs not a twenty-first-century trick that can save her. But when she applies her own instincts to a course she thought was set, she discovers that the high seas hold some scandalous surprises.
