The River of No Return - Bee Ridgway

1812: On a lonely battlefield in Spain Lord Nicholas Falcott Marquess of Blackdown is about to die ...run through by a French Dragoon. But the next moment he inexplicably jumps forward in time nearly two hundred years - very much alive. Taken under the wing of a mysterious organisation The Guild he receives everything he could ever need under the following conditions: He can't go back. He can't go home. He must tell no one. Accepting his fate Nicholas begins a life of luxury as a twenty-first century New York socialite living happily thus for the next ten years. But when an exquisite wax sealed envelope brings a summons from the Alderwoman of The Guild Nicholas is forced to confront his nineteenth century past. Back in 1815 Julia Percy's world has fallen apart. Her enigmatic grandfather the Earl of Darchester has died and left her with a closely guarded secret one she is only now discovering - the manipulation of time. In terrible danger from unknown enemies Julia flees her home to the sanctuary of neighbouring Falcott House. In this strange place Julia and a recently returned Nicholas are drawn to each other and together they realise how little Julia knew about her beloved grandfather and begin to understand his ominous last words...'Pretend.'
