No Matter When
by Nancy Adams

BLURB:
Standing on the battlements of a 16th
century Keep was the last place Gabriel Sutherland should be. Then again, being
‘shifted’ to 1503 seconds before a rocket blew his ass to bits wasn’t something
he had envisioned either. Still, he was surviving the only way he knew how, as
a soldier. Then Lilly arrived. Sweet, innocent Lilly. For a genetically
superior soldier whose life had entailed of nothing but serving King and
country, the arrival of Lilly proves too much for Gabe to ignore. For the first
time in his life, Gabe can have a woman of his own and Lilly is the one.
Lilly Marten lives alone, her quiet life the result of a highly sensitive photographic memory. That changed when she arrived in the year 1503 seconds before Toronto’s popular C.N Tower came crashing down on top of her. Now she was never alone. Gabe was always near. With his unbelievably perfect features and intense green eyes, he is not a man easily ignored. Yet, uncertainty about her new life leaves Lilly with no choice but to put faith in a man she fears and whose strong physical presence causes her to desire more than just his trust.

EXCERPT
When McGill
had walked into her room, she had convinced herself that the clues had been
fake, planted to give the impression of being in the past.
She inhaled
deeply, feeling her eyes burn again. It wasn’t fake. It was real—everything
Gabe had told her was real. He had told her the truth, and she felt an odd
sense of relief about that. But what was she going to do? She was trapped in
the sixteenth century.
Tears welled
up and slipped over her lids as she covered her face with her hands. A low sob
escaped before she could stop it, then thick arms wrapped around her, holding
her securely.
Gabe.
He had
followed her. Again he had
known she was going to bolt. He probably could have stopped her, like the other
times, but he hadn’t. When he had stopped her before, had he been protecting
her from the truth?
Grateful he’d
followed her, even though she wasn’t used to having someone to lean on, she
relaxed against him. “You let me go,” she mumbled into her hands. “You knew I
was going to run, but this time you let me go.”
“Yes.” His deep voice was smooth and
comforting. “I had to let you run this time. You needed to see with your own
eyes that what we said was the truth.”
“You didn’t lie,” she said quietly.
“No, I didn’t lie. There would be no point.
The sooner you accept the truth, the sooner you can move on.”
“Gabe?” she
whispered as a sob shook her body. “I don’t know if I can…move on.”

Author Bio:
Nancy’s
addiction for a good trash novel began in her late-teens when her grandmother
gave her a bag of Harlequin Romance books. She was hooked and spent the next
few years lurking in the dark corners of used bookstores searching for her next
fix. Until, one marriage and two kids later, her own ideas had her jumping up
at 3 am (much to her husband’s annoyance) and typing them into her laptop.
Beside her husband and children, Nancy has three passions, rearranging
furniture, buying bed linens and, of course, writing. Nancy lives in Eastern Ontario
with her family and two over sized lap dogs.

I love beautiful bed linens.
I'm wondering why the 16th Century in particular?

Thank you for hosting Nancy today.
This story sounds awesome. Love this time era.
Thanks for having me today. I looking forward to all your comments.
Marybelle...I settled on the 16th century for a couple of different reason but mainly because I love castles and I love those crazy Tudors!
MomJane...this ear is one of my faves, and very romantic.
It's sweet! I love castles and try to visit the ones that are near us(not that we have the big ones, like in UK)*sigh*

I love castles. This book sounds fantastic. Can't wait to read it to see why Gabe and Lilly are "shifted" back in time.
