In a tale sparkling with humor and love, author Teresa Medeiros gives readers the story of Arian Whitewood and Tristan Lennox. Arian is a beautiful young woman living in Puritan Massachusetts in 1689. Persecuted as a witch, Arian flees, only to find herself landing in Tristan's arms-and over three hundred years in the future. The two naturally fall for each other, but they must work through Arian's mysterious past and Tristan's deeply rooted cynicism before they can have their happily-ever-after. Medeiros walks a fine line between a convincing hero and a man too jaded to qualify for a happy ending.

The story Medeiros has crafted shimmers with laughter and wit. Arian is endearing as a bumbling witch, lost in time, whose charms thaw Tristan's icy veneer and melt his heart. And underneath the central love story is a mystery that actually contains a few surprises for readers. Overall, a worthwhile and lighthearted read, filled with both laughter and convincing emotion. Medeiros' gift for creating memorable characters and unique storylines ensures that readers will track down all her books.
