Layna Bennett is about to embark on a journey lead by her heart and destiny according to a strange letter she receives. In 2001 she is an everyday woman, young, divorced, working and even owning her Indiana home. Reading the missive and then napping, Layna finds herself on a runaway horse begging it to stop and so it does, but in the year 1870.
Trey Margeaut is a wealthy plantation owner in Alabama. Finding a suicide note from his wife Alayna he sends out a search party to find her. Later that night his runaway bride returns, only to say her name is Layna, she is not his wife and that she is from the future.
Trey is a crippled Civil War veteran who has lost his parents, a son and now a wife? Who is this person who looks like his wife but is sweet and helpful around the house instead of yelling at him? Layna must prove she is from the future and that she loves Trey.
This is a fantastic love story that encompasses time travel but also other issues like the Titanic and 9/11. Can one go back in time to find their perfect mate and can they affect future events if known and warned beforehand? I love the premise of this book it is riveting and challenging. Trey and Layna have to conquer problems not only of the past but also of the future. This includes an ensemble cast and is so well coordinated it seems very plausible. I loved the role reversals and the parallel views from both sides, his and hers. This is a must read and leads us to question that if time travel is possible, could we affect the past and change some of the disastrous outcomes?

As quiet as a hummingbird's breath, a special miracle has taken place. Only a chosen few are fortunate enough to experience such an extraordinary phenomenon.
One of them is Layna Bennett, a woman facing the difficulties of modern day society, divorce, and despair embarks on the journey of a lifetime.
Another is Trey Margeaut, a Southern gentleman who was wounded in the Civil War. He is a man who loves unconditionally, and completely. Trey sees no barriers-color or otherwise- in those he loves.
Except for Layna Bennett…
Trey harbors a true and well-deserved hatred for the woman who destroyed his life and devastated his soul. The war may have crippled him physically, but Layna crippled him spiritually.
Or did she??
As events unfold and spiral entirely out of control, the fine line that divides love and hatred begins to unravel beyond redemption.
If time truly heals all wounds, can their shattered hearts be mended by breaking the very barriers of time itself?
