Endless time
Can a great love survive to transcend time?
It is 1806, and in her home, Ashbourne Manor, a woman opens a letter warning her of the terrible fate awaiting her and her unborn child. By nightfall both are dead in the rubble of a burnt out tower.
In present day London, talented artist Karen Courtney is overwhelmed by a feeling of familiarity with the man portrayed in a Georgian miniature. Driven to know more, her search leads her to Ashbourne Manor, to the tower, where an accident thrusts her spirit back in time and into the body of another woman – the beautiful and scandalous Regency socialite, Lady Caroline.
Appalled by the transition and grieving for her child left behind, Karen finds she must adapt to a past era, although constantly seeking a way back to her own time. Her ‘husband’s’ angry disillusionment with the woman he believes to be Caroline is fed by Karen’s incredible story. And someone is trying to kill her.

Endless Time is more than a romance, it's a moving love story, reminding us that the bond between a man and a woman can have the strength to overcome time itself. The heroine, Karen Courtney is a woman who has had to fight for her place in the world, enduring loss and betrayal. When disaster strikes, she takes up the extraordinary challenge of life in early C19th London, refusing to give way to despair, although Antony, the `new' man in her life, doesn't make things any easier. Both are well-drawn, believable characters who stand out against the rich tapestry of the Regency/Napoleonic era.
There are snippets of history, both political and social; dramatic encounters with an enemy; and a fascinating secondary plot evolving in the present day but linked to the past.
The way Karen deals with the frustrations and outright hatred she encounters, and the joy and gradual awakening of a love that will demand all, kept me reading late into the night. A thoroughly enjoyable book!
