When the Stars Align (Rift in Time #2)

For pilot Bradley Becquerel, few things are worse than being stuck in New Orleans in the middle of Mardi Gras. But when he escapes a freak lightning storm by hiding out in a smoky tavern, he discovers there might just be an upside after all. Bradley doesn’t believe in love at first sight, but when he encounters the mysterious green-eyed beauty in the Mardi Gras mask, he might just change his mind.
 
New Orleans in 1838 is not the best place for an intelligent woman with a mind of her own. Especially if she’s the daughter of a wealthy plantation and tavern owner. Camille Lafleur is allowed to keep her father’s books, but she’s only permitted in the tavern if she wears a Mardi Gras mask. Still, it’s better than the silly balls and interests of the other women of her time. And so far she’s managed to escape her father’s plans to marry her off to a wealthy man. But when a mysterious stranger stumbles into the tavern, sparks fly. Too bad the intriguing madman claims to be from the future.
 
Camille is a woman ahead of her times. Bradley is lost in his family’s past. Will their timeless love be able to defy time itself? Or will the fates that threw them together tear them apart again?
