FINAL HOURS


One man’s death will change the future.
Only two people can save him – if they have the courage to trust each other.


Elizabeth Barritt fought hard for the life she has, finally putting the ugly memories of a childhood trapped in the foster care system behind her. She has the chance to move forward, to reach out for a new, exciting future, surrounded by the art that is her
passion. All she has to do is take the first step.


Enter Jackson Kane, who bursts into her life, literally out of thin air. He is a time traveler, on the hunt for a rogue agent. Colliding with Elizabeth is not on his agenda, as much as she intrigues him.


When Kane is injured protecting Elizabeth from that agent, she makes a decision that will change her life, in ways she couldn’t even begin to grasp. She takes
him home.


Once he is healed enough to travel, Kane goes after the agent, chasing him back to war-torn London. But his journey back takes a sideways turn, forcing Elizabeth to make another choice. She follows him into the past, to help him stop one man from
changing their future.


Together, they learn to trust. What they don’t expect is the connection between them - a connection so strong they can’t fight it, even as they try. Because how
can it work, when their lives are centuries apart?

EXCERPT 



Elizabeth knew, when she saw his eyes
change, just what he

had planned as he stalked back across the lab.


She couldn’t move, could hardly
breathe.


When he swept her up and his lips
possessed hers, she

expected a hot, fierce, angry kiss. Instead, his lips gentled, exploring hers.

The effect was devastating.


He broke through every barrier she’d
spent years building,

and she felt her heart open to him, trembling, vulnerable.


Both arms reached up to wrap around his
neck, and her

fingers slid into his thick, unruly hair. He tasted like mint. She let out a

low moan when he eased her mouth open, deepening the kiss. She forgot their

audience, forgot her fear of becoming attached to a man who would leave her

alone, forgot everything but the feel of his lips, the strength of his arms,

the heat of his body.


His hand slipped up her back, tangled in
her hair as he

angled her head, pulled her in deeper. Heat spiraled through her, and the need

to get closer had her arching in to him.


She could feel his rapid heartbeat, hear his
ragged breath

as he started to lose control. Or was that her breath, so fast and hard it made

her lightheaded?


Kane broke off the kiss, staring down at
her.


“God help me,” he whispered, just before
he dove in again.


This time it was fierce and hungry, and she
rode the wild

emotions, abandoning any attempt to hold back. His demanding mouth, the hands

curving over her hips and pressing her tight against him refused to let her

retreat.


She lost herself in the heat, in the need for
another person

she had never felt before. A need she protected herself from, in a life that

had no guarantees, and more disappointment than she thought she could ever take

and stay whole—


This time she broke off the kiss, fighting to
catch her

breath, terrified that it was too late. Kane rested his forehead against hers,

his own breathing just as labored. “I simply meant to say goodbye.”


“That was some goodbye,” she
whispered.


“Too much?” Humor edged his deep
voice.


“Unforgettable.”



With a quiet sigh, he pressed his lips to her
temple. “Ready
for this?”



“No.”



His laughter soothed her nerves. “I need
you to ease your

death grip on my neck, love.”



The endearment had her tensing again.
Oh, yes—it was too

late. She liked him before they landed in his time. Now she wanted him. How the

hell was she supposed to forget the way his lips felt on hers, the raw,

uncontrollable emotion he stirred in her?



She lowered her arms, and Kane eased her
to the floor. Heat

rushed across her face as everyone in the lab applauded.



To her surprise, Kane bowed, flashing a
smile. “Thank you,

for your good wishes.” He took her hand, nodded to Mac, and led her to the

steps next to the platform. Sparks danced around the perimeter of the circle.

“Now I will give you a proper goodbye.” Her heart jumped as he leaned in, but

his lips touched her cheek, warm and brief. “Take care, Elizabeth Barritt. Be

proud of who you are, live your life for you.”



How could saying goodbye to someone
she barely knew hurt so

much? Tears stung her eyes at his quiet words. He made it worse by brushing

hair off her forehead, his touch gentle, almost more intimate than kissing her.



“Please be careful,” she whispered. Her
voice threatened to

lodge in her throat, along with her tears. She laid her hand on his left wrist.

“Guy is going to do whatever he needs to do to stop you.”



“The constant twinges will be a good
reminder. Not a word,

Beth.” His fingers cupped her chin. “I will be ready for him. Now, I believe I

need to kiss you again. For luck,” he said against her lips, just before he

claimed them.



This time the kiss was achingly sweet, and
far too short.

Kane ended it, tracing the line of her cheek before he backed out of reach.

AUTHOR



My name is Cate, and I write romantic suspense and paranormal,

with some action packed YA paranormal and fantasy thrown in.


I am a huge history buff, and with my English/Irish heritage, I

have always gravitated to English history. That love has taken me across the pond on a regular basis for

the last 15 years. I got to combine the thrill of being in a country I love with my research addiction. :)


The Love in Time series is the culmination of those trips - and my love for romantic suspense.
