With sparkling wit and delicious sensuality, her stories capture the eternal appeal of love. Now, in her newest book, she sends a country miss to court--but in true O'Brien fashion, the "country" is pure Nashville and the court is Henry VIII's!

"I walked into a maze and got lost on the path to love." Rocketing country-western star Deanie Bailey suspected if she put what happened to her in a song, she'd earn another Grammy--or be locked up as a lunatic. She had been shooting a music video in England on the grounds of Hampton Court Palace when she ducked into the castle's famous maze for a moment of solace. But there would be no quiet interlude as the ground vibrated, the air glimmered, and there, with a sword drawn and pointed at her, was the most devastatingly handsome man she had ever seen. From his fancy shirt and black velvet doublet, Deanie figured he was just another of the overblown Shakespearean actors whose classical sensibilities she'd had to deal with on the set. But she figured wrong by a mile and four hundred years. Christopher "Kit" Neville, duke of Hamilton, was an attendant to the king. Some irresistible force had brought Deanie into his life and to a bygone era to change the future, fall madly in love, and stand by her man against treachery and time itself with all the spunky strength of a country girl's heart!
