IMAGE IN IVORY

IMAGE IN IVORY  On a quest for a family heirloom, when Carrie Todd touches the cameo, she catapults from a costume bash in an 18th Century ballgown into the American Revolution, captive of a darkly dangerous Continental scout on a secret mission through the wilderness. At the same instant, Caroline Renard, the daughter of a Tory aristocrat, lands in the 21st Century, desperately faking amnesia in a terrifying world of boxes that talk and carriages hurtling down superhighways at blinding speed.  In flight from Mohawks allied with the British, Gabe Banning and Carrie must outwit a British patrol, and escape to reach Fort Sullivan; but not before neither Carrie nor Gabe can deny the temptation of the growing passion between them.  In present-day Connecticut, Caroline tries to mislead the psychiatrist seeking to help her regain her memory. And to resist her attraction to him.  When the Mohawk scout, Gabe's bitter enemy Dark Lake, abducts Carrie as revenge, she is dragged to his village,and enslaved.   Carrie and Gabe must fight to be reunited, and over both Carrie and Caroline, the power of the cameo to return them to their own times may snatch them from the happiness they have only just found.
