The Hourglass
Barbara Metzger
A lady displaced...A knight disgraced...A passion that crosses all boundaries...
Another time… It seems a million years have passed since Imogene Macklin
moved among society. Now a soldier’s widow tending the
wounded at Waterloo, Genie is no longer welcome among the
officers’ wives. She’s too poor to afford rent—and too
numb to mourn the very husband whose death has forever
disgraced her. And now she carries his child… Another world… “Six months. I give you six months to find the missing
piece of yourself. Find it and you’ll find your humanity.
If not you will be my minion forever.” With Satan’s words
ringing in his ears, Sir Coryn of Ardsley resolves to
atone for his former life as a Crusader. When he returns
to the world of the living and meets a forlorn Genie, he
knows what he has to do… Another chance… Were Sir Coryn and Genie to wed, it would save her
reputation—even if marrying a man she barely knows may be
mad. But with nothing to her name, Genie has nothing to
lose. And with his soul on the line, Coryn has everything
to gain—including love...
