FATE: The development of events beyond a person's control, regarded as determined by a supernatural power. Fate can be kind. She can also be a spiteful bitch. That is something Connor Holden, Earl of Featherstone, has discovered through firsthand experience. But if he thinks Fate's a witch... Just wait. He's about to meet her sisters-Destiny and Luck. They will make Fate's deeds look like child's play. Just because time travel is possible does not mean time stands still. Furthermore, Connor doesn't care if it stands still or not. For him time no longer holds any meaning. Much has happened in the five years since Reagan disappeared through the curtain of time, taking Cullen McKinnon with her in the hope of saving the young knight's life. The least of those events is Henry's awarding Connor the titles of Duke of Featherstone and Earl of Rockport. Upon Connor's request, the earldom was passed into his care to hold until the rightful heir can take possession. No one but Nic, Morgan, and he knew that the heir is Reagan O'Riley. He just has to keep the faith that she will eventually return. Connor has always been a prime catch, but this latest news sends his stock soaring to new heights. The titles did not come without stipulation from King Henry. "You must marry, Connor, and make it soon. I, like you, have little patience these days." Henry was quite emphatic. Conjecture is rampant and expectation is running high in the ranks of the nobility. All are anxiously awaiting the announcement. Who exactly is to become his duchess? Connor is running out of time. In this instance, he prayed time would stand still. Finding herself stranded in the twentieth century, Reagan feels lost. Grieving the loss of those she has grown to love and had to leave behind, she wonders how she will adjust. Having no job, no home and no identification are secondary to her feelings that she just does not belong in the twentieth century. It feels so wrong. Rafe McKinnon, native Texan, and MD, is called in to perform the lifesaving surgery on the young knight Cullen. Realizing Reagan is adrift, he follows her into the garden just to be sure she doesn't need medical assistance. Time travel can be hard on the human body, and this time was no exception. Realizing how distraught Reagan is, he wants to help her get home. He vows to do whatever he can, realizing that he just might be her only hope. Fate, it seems, would agree.

Connor Holden, Earl of Featherstone, has it all: looks, money, power. He is a man with a lot to lose. Pride goes before a fall. We all know that to be a universal truth... And Connor is about to find out exactly how far from grace that fall will take him. Part Two of Unfinished Business finds Connor back in King Henry's service. Tucked inside King Louis XII's safe are the blueprints for modern war machines designed by master engineer Leonardo da Vinci. Conner is charged with the delicate and quite illegal task of stealing them back before the French monarch and his military advisers have the opportunity to produce those war machines, which would result in tipping the balance of power in the region. Connor knows, in taking on this mission, he could lose his life. He doesn't care. Losing Reagan has left him feeling that there is not much left to live for... and even more to die for: king, country, and keeping her safe from the aggressors in a war that would certainly touch English soil should he fail in his mission. But as long as he draws breath, there is hope that one day Reagan will return. He just has to survive to fight another day. Will he be able to survive? The odds are against him. If he does survive, how can he find his way back to the one love of his life? Pride and jealousy are his fatal flaws. Is true love enough to bridge the gap? If not, then Connor stands to lose far more than just money and power. He stands to lose his heart and his soul.

"I'll come back, O'Brian, and when I do, you'll wish you'd never come out of the womb." Nic McKinnon, seventh Duke of Seabridge to his jailer. Strong words coming from a man still in chains. Morgan McKinnon, seventh Duchess of Seabridge, refuses to believe that her husband is dead, regardless of the facts that tell her otherwise. Deep down she knows Nic is still alive, and that her uncle is somehow behind the betrayal of Nic's troops in Ireland where he was stationed by King Henry's command. Without a single word from Nic or his troops for months, his younger brother Cullen and Morgan are off to Ireland to find any clue as to Nic's whereabouts. They don't find him, but they do hear rumors that a man fitting Nic's description has run away with the village's healer, Reagan O'Riley. Can it be true? Morgan doesn't know. What she does know is that now, more than ever, she is convinced of her uncle Lester's involvement, and he has proven he will stop at nothing, not even murder, to maintain control of Seabridge. Is Nic to be Brentwood's next victim? Morgan prays it isn't so. Now the stage is set for the battle to secure Morgan's birthright: the rich and lavishly appointed Seabridge Castle. Currently, the prosperous dukedom is in the hands of the lecherous Lord Brentwood who seized control after Morgan's family was killed in a fatal fire. Nic must fight to regain what Brentwood never had the right to possess. Will he succeed? Or will true evil prevail? There can be only one victor.
