Time Alone

After more than a decade of being trapped in the past, Ellie has finally found a freedom she's never had. Yet, with that freedom comes loneliness. She has to start over, yet again, and in the process of doing so, collides head-on with her past. Has Ellie truly moved on or will her feelings get in the way of Thomas's happiness and her new relationship with his best friend?

When Major Thomas Burke discovers Ellie Sorenson is still alive after having thought her dead for a decade, his entire world is turned upside down. Being around her is torture, yet it looks as though he has no choice about her being in his life. When Major Robert Jensen expresses his feelings for her and begins to court her, Thomas has little choice but to go along with it. Can he bury his own feelings for her before they destroy the life he's built and his friendship with Robert?

Ellie finally has a basic understanding of life in the eighteenth century, even if her time has been rather sheltered. With a means to support herself for the first time, she's ready to live on her own in society. With a front row seat to history, Ellie watches the tensions rise in New York City and Boston as she builds a new family around her. The Revolutionary War is right around the corner and she finds herself caught up in the mounting hostilities while Thomas and Robert do what they can to try to quell them. Can Thomas and Ellie learn to be around one another again without their own hostilities building and affecting everyone around them?
