Tempus Fugitives Trilogy Books

Ella Steven's stubborn independence is the keystone of her identity--unfettered by romantic involvements or family demands--until the day she takes an exciting new job in Heidelberg, Germany. There, she stumbles onto a hidden time portal that takes her to 1620 Heidelberg where all her modern-day techno toys and proud self-reliance can't protect her from the brutal realities of every day life. Befriended by a convent of seventeenth century nuns who stand on the executioner's block of the bloodiest warlord in all of Europe, Ella struggles to survive in this primitive and brutal time. With the help of a sexy US Marshal, she tries to break out of her closed world of protected autonomy to help her new friends. When she does, she learns the hard way that when it comes to the things that really matter in life--love, trust and friendship--sometimes opening yourself up to others is the only true way home.

Ella Stevens is a woman on the eve of her wedding when a frantic phone call from an old college pal sets her on a course that takes her away from the altar and away from any semblance of life as she knows it. Unfortunately, rescuing her friend means losing herself when she stumbles onto a time portal in Old Cairo that sends her back in time at the moment just before the greatest archaeological discovery of the age. Trying desperately to get back to her own time--and her fiance, a sexy US Marshal who, contrary to popular belief, doesn’t have all the patience in the world--Ella discovers that evil isn’t limited to any one timeline. With the startling discovery of the most precious treasure she will ever have, Ella risks her life to protect it while fighting to find her way back to her man.

From the relative civilization of 1925 Cairo to the plundering recklessness of pirates scouring the Florida Keys in 1825 for shipwreck treasure, Ella and Rowan find themselves fighting to keep the one treasure they value over all else. “The Key West Effect” picks up where “The Cairo Effect” left off and brings you adventure on the high seas and thrilling revelations you never saw coming…not to mention one pirate whom Ella is destined never to forget.
