BLURB:
Edmund of Wales is from the future. His last jaunt through history muffed up the time line. Now, he's here to set it straight and win Keira's heart.
For Keira, if it isn't one obstacle, it's another. Queen Victoria has sponsored a competition to find a cleaner fuel source than coal. Keira's father is trying to build a windmill and the Ridgecrofts are working with gasoline. Then there's Edmund, whose sensual kisses and heated stares distract her down to her bones.
Keira has a choice: trust Edmund's notorious mischief-making or put her faith in Queen Victoria to make the right decision, but if Keira makes the wrong choice, the future of Great Britain will be changed forever.

Richard pursed his lips.
"All right, then. I have orders
to take you, Alice, Grayson, and Jonas back immediately."
"That ought to be fun --
especially Jonas. He's helping Keira's father build a windmill."
"Petrol and electricity are the
future."
Edmund grimaced.
"No, they aren't. Alice and I
tried to tell you -- Keira's compressed natural gas powers our future."
His voice filled with conviction.
"Ever since we were
children--"
"History changed when Grayson
came with Alice. He's here to fix it now."
Keira held up her hands.
"Now, boys, let's not raise our
voices. I have a feeling you've had this conversation before and came to no
resolution."
"That's true," Edmund
conceded.
Richard nodded.
Edmund glared at his brother.
"I'm not leaving. Alice and I
have every intention of setting history straight."
Richard sighed.
"Besides, the only way to get
back to the future is for us to warm our coin necklaces in our hands. You can't
do that for us."
"Ever heard of an override
switch?"
"No." Edmund's eyes
narrowed. He didn't like the sound of that.
"Professor Byron gave me
one."
A sinking feeling descended into the
pit of his stomach.
"What other tricks do you have
up your sleeve?"
"That's telling."
Exasperated, Edmund raked a hand
through his hair.
"Think this through, Richard.
No, better yet -- listen to your instincts."
His brother chuckled.
"What's so funny?"
"I had an interesting
conversation about instincts today with Jocelyn."
Keira tilted her head slightly, a
curious expression crossing her face.
"Do you know Jocelyn
well?"
"I'm staying with the
Dunkirks."
"I can't imagine Lord
Ridgecroft meeting the suitable test with his goggles and cigars," said
Edmund.
"Actually, I find Jocelyn and
her father very refreshing."
"So, Richard, what are you
going to do?" Edmund asked.
