The Bloodstone Brooch : Time Travel Romance (The Celtic Brooch Book 12)

A grieving Navy SEAL chasing a ghost from his past. A brilliant archaeologist trapped in the Gilded Age. A desperate race through 1896 Manhattan before an ancient evil destroys their future. Former Navy SEAL Tavis Stuart knows how to push through the pain. He is devoted to his young son and surrounded by a tight-knit community of time-traveling friends, but the lingering grief of losing his wife has left him emotionally marooned. His world shifts on Christmas night when his estranged mother calls with a desperate plea: her goddaughter—and Tavis's childhood best friend—archaeologist Aislinn Kennedy, has gone missing. Aislinn was working in Rome when she discovered an ancient Celtic brooch hidden inside a prehistoric fertility figure. Reading its Gaelic inscription aloud triggered a blinding fog that ripped her from the 21st-century museum and dropped her straight onto the volatile streets of 1896 New York City. Plunging into the past to rescue her, Tavis and his team track Aislinn down in Manhattan. They discover that the resourceful archaeologist has already made powerful allies, befriending prominent banker Solomon Loeb and securing a job as the personal secretary to the city’s formidable new Police Commissioner, Theodore Roosevelt. Reunited in the Gilded Age, the decades-old embers of Tavis and Aislinn's childhood romance instantly ignite into a powerful, mature desire. But their reunion is cut short. The travelers cannot return home until they find three mysterious objects—relics that are also being hunted by an ancient, evil enemy intent on destroying the MacKlenna Clan. Facing an impossible search, the time travelers must outmaneuver a ruthless force. If they fail, the clan will never be safe again. The Bloodstone Brooch is a sweeping Gilded Age time-travel romance where high-stakes danger, second-chance love, and ancient secrets collide. Each book can be enjoyed as a complete standalone story.
