FOR ALL TIME

The second novel in the best-selling author’s Nantucket Brides trilogy doubles up on romance with twin brothers and reincarnated lovers.

Prince Graydon Montgomery is attending his cousin’s wedding on Nantucket when Toby Wyndam catches him impersonating his twin brother. The fact that Toby is the only person who can distinguish the heir to the Lanconian throne from his self-indulgent sibling hearkens back to an old family legend saying that's the way to recognize true love. Though Graydon is as gentle and humble as a modern-day royal can be (he cooks, drives and wears T-shirts), his hand has already been promised to Lady Danna Hexonbath, whom his brother secretly loves. So Graydon contrives to stay with Toby on Nantucket while she organizes a decadent wedding for a best-selling author—and sends his brother to Lanconia in his place to give himself a little freedom before his engagement party. When Graydon’s sword-wielding entourage arrives to keep him in check, the delightfully stoic bodyguards also give Toby a crash course on Lanconian customs, from which kinds of cheese they prefer to their attitudes about social class. Deveraux’s fictitious country ingeniously keeps her prince out of the public eye while giving him a sense of duty that stops him from getting with the times and marrying a commoner. Toby, who's still a virgin, also holds on to antiquated ideals to avoid getting her heart broken in a doomed relationship. Little do the lovers know that their future happiness depends on time traveling to Regency-era Nantucket to reunite a couple separated by similar circumstances. If only the paranormal element of the plot had been introduced sooner; Toby’s research into her town’s history gives her and Graydon a mystery to solve while they resist each other’s charms and inspires her plan for a beautiful Regency-themed wedding complete with empire-waist gowns and tailcoats.

This charming sequel should be read in sequence to clarify the circumstances that bring Graydon and Toby together, but the lovers from different worlds are soon caught in an engrossing period romance that transcends time.
