The Quiet Woman — Anne Gross

Outlander meets The Unmaking of June Farrow in THE CONJURED WOMAN

In early 19th century Paris, Adelaide Lenormand, a fortune teller popular with the elite, conjures a golem for Napoleon Bonaparte during a dinner party. Something quickly goes wrong, and her creation looks nothing like the manservant she promised. Even worse, immediately after it arrives, the golem steal's the Emperor's emerald scarab from a chain around his neck, and mysteriously disappears.

Moments later in London, Elise Dubois, an ER nurse from Tucson, Arizona, is found sprawled in front of The Quiet Woman Public House. She's wearing nothing but tattered shorts, a sports bra, and one pink running shoe. Gripped in her fist is the missing scarab.

Adelaide is suddenly launched on a quest to find the golem and the scarab, and restore her reputation, while Bonaparte's minister of police breathes down her neck. Attempting to blend in, Elise is troubled by nightmares of a wild-eyed French woman, and knows that she'll stop at nothing to return to 21st century Arizona, even if that means breaking the heart of the one man who understands her.

The Conjured Woman is the first in the Emerald Scarab Adventure series aimed at lovers of hard-edged heroines. In a story of time travel, romance, and fortune, anything can happen.
