<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>When FBI agent Kendra Donovan's plan to return to the twenty-first century fails, leaving her stranded in 1815 England, the Duke of Aldridge believes he knows the reason-- she must be implored to save his nephew, who has been accused of murder.</b> <p/>Former FBI agent Kendra Donovan's attempts to return to the twenty-first century have failed, leaving her stuck at Aldridge Castle in 1815. And her problems have just begun: in London, the Duke of Aldridge's nephew Alec?Kendra's confidante and lover?has come under suspicion for murdering his former mistress, Lady Dover, who was found viciously stabbed with a stiletto, her face carved up in a bizarre and brutal way. <p/>Lady Dover had plenty of secrets, and her past wasn't quite what she'd made it out to be. Nor is it entirely in the past?which becomes frighteningly clear when a crime lord emerges from London's seamy underbelly to threaten Alec. Joining forces with Bow Street Runner Sam Kelly, Kendra must navigate the treacherous nineteenth century while she picks through the strands of Lady Dover's life. <p/>As the noose tightens around Alec's neck, Kendra will do anything to save him, including following every twist and turn through London's glittering ballrooms, where deception is the norm?and any attempt to uncover the truth might lead to murder.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for<i> A Twist in Time: </i></b><br><br>"A vivid setting, interesting characters, sustained suspense, and even a hint of romance make this thriller hard to put down for long.
