25467346.JPGOn the run in Washington, D.C. from a sadistic bitch of a cop who cares more about inflicting pain and doing her daddy’s dirty work than serving justice, Remy Capra grabs a handful of coins and jumps out a Senator’s window. She lands seventy-five years back in time and across a continent in Los Angeles – at the feet of hot hunky bounty hunter Nathan ‘Nate’ Pierce.

Remy isn’t like any woman he’s ever met. She’s street smart and sassy, but she needs help, and Nathan, against his own better judgment, offers it. Danger looms on all sides: Remy might be whisked back to her own time at any moment, the murderous gang lord Gabriel and his goons are after them, and then there’s the mystery of the Silver Maiden, a mystical coin with strange powers.

Remy and Nathan may have a future – if she can evade her own past, and if they manage to keep alive in the ever-threatening present …

Very good, and very frequent, sex scenes. If this novel wasn’t so predominantly set in the sci-fi genre, I would have thought it a good candidate for the paranormal romance genre.

It's a quick read with a fast moving story-line. Issac’s character is very well written, the perfectly protective best friend and ex-partner, current cop … just the right mix of support and suspicion.

The next book in this series, Touching Silver, is due to come out in June of 2008.
