But no immortal powers could prepare the laird of Castle Brodie for the lovely accursed lass who stood before him. A terrible trick of fate had sent her 700 years back in time and into his private chamber to tempt him with her beauty - and seduce him with a desire he could never fulfill. For this woman he burned to possess was also the woman he had foresworn to destroy. A Woman Caught in the Mists of Time When Lisa felt the earth move under her feet, the fiercely independent 21st-century woman never dreamed she was falling...into another century. But the powerful, naked warrior who stood glaring down at her was only too real...and too dangerously arousing. Irresistibly handsome he might be, but Lisa had no intention of remaining in this savage land torn by treachery and war. How could she know that her seductive captor had other plans for her...plans that would save her from a tragic fate? Or that this man who had long ago forsaken love would defy time itself to claim her for his own....
	O'Bannon Castle by: Dr Robert E McGinnis publisher: Createspace, published: 2010-07-14 ASIN: B003VTZWQE sales rank: 251330	When a story comes to mind it often takes a life of its own and becomes something greater than the author envisioned. This story has grown out of other stories I have heard or read that always put me in mind of the O'Bannon Castle back in the old days of Ireland. I am sure no one knows all the history associated with that monument to time and this story just might be part of it. In your own life you have heard stories told by family members that were unverifiable and possibly without truth, but maybe there was a possible hint of truth hidden somewhere between the lines that made you wonder. The 'What If' factor has always intrigued me, because what if I hadn't said this or done that, where would I be today? I am sure if you haven't had that thought run through your mind before, you will someday. What if this story really did happen just as it is written? Even the main character has doubts after all is said and done: if he can't prove his story, who can say what actually happened? The main character is Robert Copeland, a young man from the States who takes a train heading north in England. During the train ride, he meets a young lady who will not only become his friend, but help him in solving a half-century-old mystery. But strange things happen during their train ride that puts the story into a different perspective than anyone could have imagined up to that point. The young lady gets off the train and meets him again on anther train. She looks the same, but he can't shake the feeling that she isn't quite the same girl. This story involves a lot of friendly ghosts who have not always lived a friendly life, either after becoming a ghost or before. The main character has to sort through a lot of different people and by good fortune and wise choices eventually produces a conclusion that is satisfactory to all: the ghosts, his friends, the young lady that he met on the train and also the church that is involved in the conclusion.
	The Outlaw Sword by: J. Ardian Lee publisher: Ace Trade, published: 2002-07-02 ASIN: 0441009352 sales rank: 2394440 price: $7.70 (new), $1.17 (used)	In Son of the Sword, J. Ardian Lee transported us to a land of unsurpassed beauty-at a time when its people faced their darkest hour.

	Lowell Park by: Mike Chapman publisher: McMillen Publishing, published: 2003-11-01 ASIN: 1888223537 sales rank: 1214012 price: $5.94 (new), $9.83 (used)	Join Jenny Brix as she travels back to a simpler time, where Ronald Reagan is still a small-town lifeguard and Illinois afternoons are spent with your favorite girl at Lowell Park. In this historical novel from Mike Chapman, readers are caught in a time warp to the early 1900's. The book centers around Dixon, a small town in Illinois that was the center stage for two of our most prominent presidents - hometown of Ronald "Dutch" Reagan, and battleground for a young soldier named Abe Lincoln. Blending both fantasy and fact, Lowell Park is an entertaining and informational look back at the origin of some of our country's most influential figures.
	All Clear by: Connie Willis publisher: Spectra, published: 2010-10-19 ASIN: 0553807676 sales rank: 4531 price: $17.16 (new)	In Blackout, award-winning author Connie Willis returned to the time-traveling future of 2060—the setting for several of her most celebrated works—and sent three Oxford historians to World War II England: Michael Davies, intent on observing heroism during the Miracle of Dunkirk; Merope Ward, studying children evacuated from London; and Polly Churchill, posing as a shopgirl in the middle of the Blitz. But when the three become unexpectedly trapped in 1940, they struggle not only to find their way home but to survive as Hitler’s bombers attempt to pummel London into submission. Now the situation has grown even more dire. Small discrepancies in the historical record seem to indicate that one or all of them have somehow affected the past, changing the outcome of the war. The belief that the past can be observed but never altered has always been a core belief of time-travel theory—but suddenly it seems that the theory is horribly, tragically wrong. Meanwhile, in 2060 Oxford, the historians’ supervisor, Mr. Dunworthy, and seventeen-year-old Colin Templer, who nurses a powerful crush on Polly, are engaged in a frantic and seemingly impossible struggle of their own—to find three missing needles in the haystack of history. Told with compassion, humor, and an artistry both uplifting and devastating, All Clear is more than just the triumphant culmination of the adventure that began with Blackout. It’s Connie Willis’s most humane, heartfelt novel yet—a clear-eyed celebration of faith, love, and the quiet, ordinary acts of heroism and sacrifice too often overlooked by history.

Thought-provoking, vivid, viciously smart, and wildly funny, Rainbow Mars is sci-fi at its best. Hanville Svetz was born into a future to match the sorriest predictions of Greenpeace. Most of Earth's original life forms are extinct. It is Svetz's job to go back in time and retrieve them, or at least it was until his Institute for Temporal Research was transferred. Now, with a new boss obsessed with stars and planets, Svetz must figure out why the Martian canals have gone dry and what that means for Earth's future. Because Mars was inhabited. When Svetz learns how the sapient Martian species were wiped out, he realizes that Earth could soon fall victim to a similar fate. Together with his dog, Wrona, a visitor from the distant past, and Miya, an astronaut with her own complex history, Svetz must struggle to unravel a puzzle that will tax not just his rational mind, but the very limits of his imagination.
