New York, 1919. His career as a concert pianist ended by a war injury, Sutton Albright returns to college, only to be expelled after an affair with a teacher. Unable to face his family, he heads to New York with no plans and little money--only a desire to call his life his own.
Jack Bailey’s life has changed as well. After losing his parents in the influenza epidemic, he hopes to save their beloved novelty shop--now his--by advertising on the radio, barely more than a novelty, itself.
Sutton lands work in Jack’s corner of the city and the two conclude they couldn’t be less suited for friendship. But when Sutton loses his job, Jack gives him a place to stay. Sutton returns to the piano to play for Jack and finds the intervening months have healed him. The program promises to rescue Jack’s business and Sutton’s career...but success brings its own risks for two men falling in love.
On assignment in London, FBI Agent Morgan Nash finds himself moments away from a bullet through the heart when the case he's working goes awry. But fate has other plans, he discovers when he wakes in a world far removed from his own.
At work cataloguing ancient manuscripts in the British Museum, Ezra Glacenbie inadvertently creates the magic that pulls Morgan out of the twenty-first century and into the nineteenth. It's an impromptu vacation which may become permanent when the spellbook goes missing.
Further upsetting Morgan's search for a way home is the irresistible temptation to investigate the most notorious crime of the nineteenth century. But it's the unexpected romance blossoming between Morgan and Ezra that becomes the most dangerous complication of all.
Jonah Woolner's life is as prudently regulated as the bank in which he works. It's a life with which he’s satisfied--until he’s passed over for promotion in favor of newcomer Reid Hylliard. Brash and enterprising, Reid beguiles everyone but Jonah, who’s convinced Reid’s progressive ideas will be the bank’s ruin. When Jonah begins to discover there’s more to the man than meets the eye, he risks succumbing to Reid’s charms, himself--but unlocking the vault to all of Reid’s secrets could lead him down a path as ruinous.
Losing his promotion--and perhaps his heart--may be the least of Jonah’s difficulties when the vengeful son of a Union Army vet descends upon the bank to steal a government deposit of half a million dollars. Arriving in the midst of the robbery is a storm of more ominous proportions--the deadliest blizzard to ever sweep New York, and one that will leave Jonah and Reid trapped, at odds, and fighting for their lives.
