Cleopatra has disappeared from the historical record. Max and Sally lead a team of time travelers whom they've recruited from across the centuries that now includes Gaius Julius Caesar, Marcus Aurelius, Leonardo da Vinci, and the slave girls from the emperor's palace in the year 172 AD. They travel back and forth from New York in 1980 to engage the past and correct the faults in history which would change the modern world. But traveling through time is just the beginning of their adventures as they learn of the value gained in an extended family, new ideas, and what love is and can be. This book is full of adventures through history but is primarily a story of the loss of innocence, personal growth, attraction, family, and the observations of the modern world as seen through the eyes of accomplished men and women of the classical past. It is funny, sexy, charming and heartwarming, exciting and adventurous, and just plain fun. All the books in the series are stand-alone novels.

Resurrection of Griffin Ballard Blurb His wife was dead. The cerebral hemorrhage which finally claimed her after a terrible car accident had left him alone and feeling much older than his years. He'd married young and half his life had been spent as a provider, a faithful husband and the father of two grown children. He felt he was far closer now at forty-four to his end, than to his beginning. He'd stopped living. His lawn untended, food of no importance, business in the dumps...only his dog, his constant companion, claimed his attention. A walk in the park, his first in a month, finally got him out of his house. Kody, his bright white furry beast, always on display, always the most magnificent creature in the park, drew her to him. She did not see the pain or the suffering, the self-doubt and the resignation to a future alone. All she could see was the devilishly handsome guy...kind, gentle, cultured and intelligent. A man in need and yet a man who could give so much to those around him. It may have been his chick-magnet dog that brought her to him, but now it would be up to her to gain his attention and admiration before wrapping herself around him and never letting go. He too, was stricken. How beautiful in face and figure she was...how kind and attentive. But while grateful to be brought back amongst the living, to feel masculine and drawn to her mystery, she was no more than a teen and a casual encounter in the park would be the limit of their meeting. Trouble was, although an ingénue and half his age, there was no way in the world she would permit this man to get away. There was but one man like this and she, with all her determination and charm, would never permit another to have him, for from the first moment her eyes had caught his...he would not be able to turn away and would be hers and no one else's. The Resurrection of Griffin Ballard is Rebeca Branch's first foray into the relationship between an older man and younger woman. A story of introspection and evaluation...of commitment and redemption, and of a burgeoning love which transcends age and experience to deliver these two people into a world of fulfillment and happiness. Unlike her previous books, this is a quick read and does not delve into the art and history so familiar in her other work. This is a tale of family, self, and attraction, of need, desire and commitment. Come along for the journey from Montclair, New Jersey to the red-light district in Amsterdam to the ancient streets of Rome.

Can God cross the paths of two people long before they ever meet? For Atlas Merrick, the luster of being an actor was gone the moment he lost his mother. Struggling to hold on to his faith was something he wasn't sure he wanted to fight anymore. Then one night, at an event in New York City, a mysterious woman stands before him, looking at him like she understands the inner workings of his mind. Just as she pulls him back from the edge, she is gone, and Atlas discovers a deeper truth about her that rattles him and makes him question just how intricately God is involved in his life.
