Book excerpt: Molly Nichols has led a pretty much stable life—decent job at the local police department, a home she inherited from her uncle and one of her oldest friends Carrie, as her roommate. At least until recently – Carrie has time traveled back in time to be with the man she loves and her job is less than satisfying due to her boss who she refers to as the Red Queen. In her search for answers she ventures into Carrie’s favorite shop, the Treasures Antique Store and its proprietor, Mr. Arthur Merle. There she meets Mr. Merle’s nephew, a hunky, absolutely gorgeous blond named Gareth. But there is something a tad bit off about the handsome man and it’s not just his way of speaking. When he starts to talk about where he is from and that he has woken because it is our time of greatest need, Molly is pretty sure there’s something not quite right about him starting with what modern woman needs a knight in shining armor to rescue her?
