Erased

One moment San Francisco police officer Dani Barsetti is chasing a suspect through an apartment building in the twenty-first century. The next, she wakes up in the twenty-third century, at least that’s what she’s being told by a group of scientists who aren’t at all happy to see her. Their agent, a man sent back in time to kill a dangerous terrorist, has been killed by him instead. So now they propose to send Dani back to do the job. The problem is that her trip into the future has erased her from the past.

Her wife Gemma doesn’t know her. Her parents and siblings have never met her. The police force has no record of her. Could she start over, she wonders? Could Gemma fall in love with her all over again? Unfortunately, she has only two weeks to find out before she must return to the future.

Is two weeks long enough to fall in love, or is it only long enough to say goodbye? And, oh, right, she still has to find and kill the terrorist.
