About the book
Kristine Gavin was depressed about turning thirty until she received a most unusual gift from her brother. It was a portrait he'd found in the attic of their family home in Virginia, a portrait of a woman who must have been their ancestor, judging from Kris' resemblance to the beauty. But it wasn't the painting that intrigued Kris...
An old newspaper clipping about the woman's strange disappearance caught within the frame drew her in. Just as Kris was uncovering a fascinating secret from the past she sensed a change in the air - and found herself thrown back in time into a strange room, staring into the eyes of the sexiest man she had ever seen!
Sean O'Mara frozen when he saw his wife Christina standing before him. She had vanished and the news had been written about in all of the papers - he had even been charged with her murder! But now he had living proof of his innocence, and Sean was not about to let her get away. No matter that the woman was claiming to be someone named Kristine; she still caused his blood to boil.
Yet despite their differences, Sean wanted to hold the fiery vixen in his arms, caress her satiny skin, kiss her ruby lips and pledge his love forever with TIME-KEPT PROMISES
