The Mystic And The Marquess

Regency Time-Travel Romance! Expecting a career advancement, instead Gwendolyn deals with a jealous coworker... and ancient legends... and then somehow gets hurled back into the past!
SHE'S REALLY NOT A MYSTIC
After being drugged at a bon voyage party, Gwendolyn wakes up someplace... and sometime else. The someplace is an English farm on the Marquess of Sheffield's estate; the sometime is 1819. Impossible, but true. While she tries to figure out what happened and how she can get back to her own time, she helps the tenant farmers with some of their health concerns. Because of this, she is called a mystic and is highly thought of by the villagers. However, she has an unpleasant run in with the hostile lord of the manor, Nigel Nelson. He even plans to send her back to the Americas as a galley slave. Gwen is completely powerless until she can convince the Marquess that she really is the mystic as foretold in the Sheffield legend. Will she be able to change this haughty aristocratic lord's mind?
HE REALLY IS A MARQUESS
Nigel Nelson, the Marquess of Sheffield, learns that there is an untrustworthy mystic taking advantage of his many tenants who live on the Sheffield estate. Protective of his people, he is determined to evict the woman from his lands. Before he can carry out his threat, he gets bitten by a pugnacious pug and must depend on Gwendolyn to heal his dog bites. While she takes care of his wounds, he becomes enamored of her sweetness, her kindness, her many charms. Now he has a dilemma. A marquess should not be attracted to a mystic. How, on God's good Earth, is he going to solve this problem?
PRAISE FOR THE MYSTIC AND THE MARQUESS
5 Stars! A farewell party at instructor Gwendolyn Scott's college suddenly turns into a farewell for her--a farewell to the twenty-first century. Instead of dealing with jaded college students, she finds herself in the company of tenant farmers, Hereford cows, and a pugnacious pug. The why of it concerns an ancient crystal relic and an enormous stone head of the Roman god Neptune. The how of it has something to do with a jealous fellow instructor. Gwen very admirably adjusts to the year 1819, however when everyone addresses her as a mystic, she becomes persona non grata with the lord of the manor, Nigel, the Marquess of Sheffield. He threatens her with eviction, and a laugh-out loud moment occurs when the adorable dog comes to her rescue. Ms. Knight weaves another excellent time-travel Regency with a diverse cast of characters including the irascible sea god Neptune. Highly recommended!--Regency Fiction World
