An unanticipated rifle shot in a frontier reenactment thrusts Stacie Brannigan back 100 years to 1870’s Texas ~ into the body of her great-grandmother, Anastasia Wysse ~ into a body half her age, twenty instead of forty.
She finds herself surrendering that body to the noble half breed Joseph Muldoon who has rescued her from an Indian raid. She, also, finds the conundrum of choosing between the man who becomes her great-grandfather and the man forbidden to her by both society and destiny . . . and she finds what she fears most: she and Joseph are star-crossed lovers, who must choose whether to risk their lives and those of others to defy destiny for a love that would burn For All Time.
