Read an Excerpt:
In the dark, Liv barely could see his eyes as he whispered, “Tell me no if you don’t want me to kiss you.”
What a reversal from the judgy Tom who had practically called her a princess. She made him wait. She didn’t say No. She was two glasses of wine into reckless.
She whispered, “Yes.”
The exhilaration of knowing he’d been drawn to her from the first. He was like too much of that good Chianti, and she only wanted more.
But Tom quickly broke the kiss. She gasped. He didn’t move, holding her shoulders, but now looking down at her from so close. How far would she let this go? The sensation of his mouth lingered on hers, but he let go of her shoulders and grabbed her hand.
“I want to show you something. Will you come with me?”
“Yes,” she gasped, wondering if she could walk.
He pulled her along. Did this man never saunter?
“Look, I’m in heels—”
Suddenly, her heels were sinking into sandy dirt. She blinked under the bright sun. They were near another waterworks, but this one was a mill. It was daytime, and the water splashed down the ladder of the water wheel, making a different rhythmic music. Nearby was a rough wooden building. Clearly, they were somewhere else in space and time.
“This is where I work, one of my history projects,” Tom said, keeping his tight grip on her hand.
Liv tried to quell the shaking in her legs. She hadn’t meant for Tom to take her back in time. She began to gasp and felt she might drop to her knees. Instead, she clutched Tom’s hand as hard as she could. He reached around her waist to hold her up.
His eyes widened as he looked at her. “You said you wanted to see. Are you okay?”
“Is this the Gold Rush—here?”
Tom shrugged and smiled. “Yes. This is about three months after they discovered gold in the stream. In 1849.”
The shock quivered through her stomach and legs.
He held onto her waist and asked again. “Everything okay?”
She barely managed to stand upright but said, “Sure. Only I wasn’t expecting …”
She didn’t want to be accused of being Miss Pacific Heights. The feeling of his hands around her waist strengthened her. She was now oriented to his touch, wherever they were.
