A new world awaits May Gold. She just doesn't realize it could exist in the rear view mirror, the past she has studied so well.

"Enchanting, rich and romantic, a poetic journey through the folds of time," says bestselling author Kerry Lonsdale.



In her tiny carrel at the college, imagining the Baroque sculptor Bernini's arms around her, May was happy to daydream herself into that time. But could she exist there in reality?


She gets her chance to find out while touring St. Peter's in Rome, when she parts the curtains of time and steps into the 17th century to find herself staring into the eyes of the genius who has been her hero and passion.



A young historian, May is low woman on the academic totem pole. A new teacher, she earns little more than a Starbuck's barista and is at odds with her department head. But when she's with Bernini, she's a completely different person, a poet who can speak her truth, a woman whose passion leads her into adventure.
When she returns to her time, she's back to being nobody.
Can she give up everything, even the time in which she lives, to stay with her soul mate? But if she does, she'll have to live in a century that treated women as property.
May must find a creative way forward, or doom her love to the dust of history.
