Magic meets science and sunshine meets grumpy when a love spell whisks a Regency-era duke to
modern times. Rose Novak a free-spirited museum employee who dabbles in magic has had her
share of disappointments. So when she tries a little spell for a romance with an “old-fashioned
gentleman ” she doesn’t really expect it to work…especially literally . And yet the duke from
a painting she admired at the museum is now standing in her apartment demanding to know who
abducted him. A man of science and truth Henry Leighton-Lyons the Duke of Beresford has
searched tirelessly for a way to turn back time and be with his late wife again. Instead just
as he’s about to pose for his portrait he’s ripped centuries forward by a feckless scantily
dressed—and utterly bewitching—woman who believes in nonsense like magical crystals and
astrology. Unable to immediately reverse her spell Rose vows to help Henry return to his own
century even though disguises and high jinks are required to get their hands on an enchanted
astrolabe and master the art of time travel. But it’s hard not to fall for the irritable yet
honorable duke. Little does she know that he’s starting to wonder: did a reckless love spell
get it right after all?
