  • Overtime

    by Mary Worwood

    What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, or so the story goes. But sometimes there are consequences that follow you home, and every once in a while, they follow you even further — all the way to the thirteenth century! Photographer Lucy Logan and hot shot goaltender Jack Swann never expected to see each other again after their wild night in Vegas, especially after discovering they drunkenly tied the knot. A quick divorce seems like the most logical solution, but fate has other plans! Before they can dissolve their impulsive nuptials, a pair of bizarre accidents catapult Jack and Lucy back through time, to England, during the Middle Ages. Disoriented and desperate to survive, they assume the identities of their medieval doppelgängers, only to find themselves entangled in a dangerous web of treachery and intrigue. With their true identities at risk of being exposed and the threat of war closing in all around them, Jack and Lucy must navigate a world where trust is a luxury and love is a gamble. Even if they manage to stay alive, will they ever find their way back home?
