Fool's Gold
Does a future exist for a man out of time?
Charleston 1870…
In far too deep with a dangerous man, Jacob Langston has twenty-four hours to repay hefty gambling debts or his family will be harmed. Desperate for funds, Jacob goes in search of the lost Confederate bullion rumored to be buried in the woods outside of Charleston. Trapped in a wicked storm, he soon realizes the fool’s errand he’s embarked upon. Before he can escape the woods he is caught in a bizarre cascade of events that throws him 150 years into the future. There he is given aide by the warm-hearted Sage Martin… a woman as lovely as she is kind. Jacob can’t help but be drawn to the idea of a future in her future. However, he is plagued by the threats made against his brothers, and knows he could never embrace a life in which those he loved were left to suffer because of his weakness. Though he longs to stay with Sage, Jacob remains driven to return to his own time and rectify his wrongs, whatever the personal cost.
After a lifetime chasing after fool’s gold can he finally grasp the treasure his lonely heart has been searching for? Or is he doomed to pay the ultimate price for the foolishness of youth?

Maybe it's just drunk me speaking but Jacob had the best story. I loved sage. They had the best growth, the best love story. I don't usually like time travel where the H/h goes forward in time, but this worked well.

What started out as just an idea to read a time travel romance set in the South during the Civil War ended in the completion of reading this amazing collection of stories! The four Langston brothers all found love! It's the best ending of all!! I'm so happy that Sage ended up where she truly belonged, with Jacob Langston as his wife!!!
