Publisher: Shomi
(October 2008)
The clever, determined and twisted Leonardo Kaysar has a plan to change
history. When it comes to time manipulation, not only is he the best,
but his current experiment will supersede all others. With Katherine
Gibbs as his next fiancee and test subject, little else matters except
keeping the integrity of the experimental time loop. Katherine Gibbs
has everything she ever wanted: popularity, perfect friends, a great
job, and a perfect fiance. She is living the best week of her life, not
just once but over and over again. The only trouble is that her perfect
week is not real and her best friend L. Roxanne Zaborovsky knows it.
Roxanne is on the outside, separated by time and determined to do
everything possible to break her friend out of her prison and out of
the clutches of the infamous Leonardo Kaysar. As a time anomaly
specialist, Walter Sheffield, known simply as Q, is the one man who
might find a way through all the carefully laid snares and protections
Leonardo has created. Can he rescue Katherine and at what cost? Can
hearts survive all the wicked machinations Leonardo will utilize to
insure the success of his experiment?
