She wanted one night at the Venetian Carnival. She woke in 1789... with no way back. Eloisa has always dreamt of stepping into the past-of living, if only for a night, as an eighteenth-century lady. But when a mysterious accident hurls her into 1789 Venice, fantasy turns into danger. Alone in a city of masked conspiracies and shifting loyalties, Eloisa must recover a stolen locket, the only key to returning to her own time. But each step draws her deeper into a plot she barely understands. Her only ally is Richard Blair, a mysterious English gentleman with secrets of his own. As danger closes in, trust becomes a risk... and the feelings growing between them may cost her more than her chance to go home. Because in a world where no one is quite what they seem, love may be the one risk she cannot afford.
