The Swan Syndicate: Time Travel Adventure Romance -- Kim Ann Allred, Paperback

Stella Caldway lives life boldly. She worked hard to become the most sought-after real estate broker in the seaside city of Baywood, Oregon. What made her different from everyone else in town, with the exception of her closest friends, was that she was no stranger to time travel.

But then, all she had to do was look at the audacious man she fell in love with to remind her that time travel was indeed quite real.

Viscount Theodore Beckworth wasn't a stranger to danger. From the moment of his birth in the slums of London, life had sent him down that path. When he looks back on his rise to the aristocracy, he'd participated in events he wasn't proud of. But through tests of loyalty, he'd become an invaluable spy for the Crown.

He also had a secret that only a guarded few knew-time travel wasn't a fantastical literary notion. And when a mission put him face to face with a stubborn and bold auburn-haired woman from the future, his life changed forever.

He gave up everything he'd worked hard for, including Waverly Manor, for the love of a woman. They know it won't be easy. There aren't many opportunities in the twenty-first century for a nineteenth-century man.

On a holiday whim, he gifts Stella with a surprise. A return trip to Waverly Manor to celebrate the new year with the friends they'd left behind.

When their arrival coincides with a new threat to England amid its war with Napoleon, a mission of vital importance delays their planned hunting party.

Stella knows how important the mission is to Beckworth, even if he's no longer in the game. She won't stop him from his deep desire to protect his country. But if he thinks he's going to leave without her, well, that just isn't in the cards, no matter how much he hates the idea.

It isn't a dangerous mission. A simple search for a smuggler with plans to bring French ships to Irish ports. But their simple seek-and-find mission turns into something more perilous and tests the fragile bonds of their budding romance.
