From award-winning author Suzanne Elizabeth... "Funny, enchanting, refreshing and delicious." -RT Magazine STRANDED IN THE PAST Technology heiress Contessa Harper was born into a life of wealth and privilege, so when a strange little woman in pearls appears at her bedside, rambling on about fate and destiny, Tess is certain the lady intends to kidnap her. When terrified Tess agrees to take a look at her true fate, she finds herself transported back in time to primitive 1885 Kansas and right into the arms of the most exasperating man she's ever met. Rugged farmer Joseph Maguire is used to living life his way-quiet and alone. But Tess must convince stubborn Joseph to make a place in his life for his two orphaned nieces if she ever hopes to return to the 21st century. What Tess doesn't count on is the passion she feels every time Joseph looks at her, or her growing attachment to two precious little girls who desperately need a mother. Could this man-this family-be Tess Harper's true destiny?
