When a 21st century property developer meets a Regency gentleman- what could possibly go wrong? A great deal, it turns out. When Natasha Rowlands steps through a door in the house that will be her home she finds herself in 1810 with not only a Regency gentleman, but also a murder victim on the premises. If it is a shock for her, it is equally disconcerting for Lord Halwell's steward, his natural son, but neither of them are prepared for a serial killer, the mystery of Lord Halwell's second wife or the growing attraction between them. There had been a time – quite recently, in fact – when he had been a decent, hardworking, respectable gentleman. One who did not break the law and did not lust after respectable young ladies. One who had never seen a murdered person or imagined that time did anything but flow in one direction like a river. That, Matthew thought as he attempted to make himself invisible under what had proved, unfortunately, to be a holly bush, was before he had met Miss Natasha Rowlands. Love’s Vengeance is the first of The Clock House Mysteries and some familiar faces from the Time Into Time series will make an appearance.

A love affair across time is difficult enough, but making it work when entangled in an increasingly dangerous mystery is quite another matter. Natasha Rowlands and Matthew Sheldon must negotiate a relationship across two centuries with all the problems that involves for an independent modern woman and a Regency gentleman. Can either be sure of the other's feelings? How long can this love affair survive the clash of cultures and expectations? Just to complicate matters they find themselves involved in Matthew's half-brother Toby's betrothal, a delicate matter of aristocratic courtship which is threatened by inexplicable violence - and then death. Tash and Matthew must find the guilty party, save Toby's marriage and somehow work out how to live together across the gulf of time. Book Three of The Clock House Mysteries.
