A Curse of Time and Vengeance — Christine Norris

Lost Time Is Never Found Again... Or Is It?

Christmas Eve, Philadelphia 1884. Henry Rittenhouse has bided his time long enough. Armed with a poignant gift, he heads for Sophie Weber's house with designs on entwining both of their lives forever more.

But capricious is the object of his love, whom he catches clad as a boy, shimmying down the drainpipe from the attic. Rather than making his declaration, Henry finds himself on a merry chase suddenly turned tragic as Sophie vanishes, with no trace left behind to find her. 

A note delivered soon after betrays the truth: In an act of chilling vengeance, Sophie has been snatched away by Alexei Faber, her father's mortal enemy, trapped inside a machine where she will stay, frozen and asleep, for a hundred years.

Desperate to save his love, Henry gets tangled up with an unusual trio pursuing Faber on a mission through... dare he believe?... time. Henry must not only find a way to save his love, but help stop a plot that could unravel history.
