A maze tests the navigation skills of all who enter. Maggie Whitaker is at a crossroads in her life; having accepted the invitation of an eccentric aunt to vacation in a remote part of England despite her bleak situation. How did she reach forty with almost nothing to show for it but broken relationships and a job she hates? When Aunt Edithe suggests she is on the edge of something special, she is not sure she is ready to turn her life around and take some chances? Unfortunately, there is no way to refuse. The maze she enters casts her in a direction she could have never imagined, into the arms of Nicholas Layton, a nobleman?s son in the sixteenth century who mistakes her for someone else. By the time she convinces him she is not the cousin Lord Robert has been expecting, the damage has been done and lives are at stake. With her future in the past and her past in the future, Maggie Whitaker must keep her wits about her in Queen Elizabeth?s court and play a part she is ill prepared for, the betrothed of a powerful man in a world where women have less value than horses and intelligent women manipulate men behind the scenes. Fortunately, she has Nicholas Layton by her side, as well as Lady Elthea, mother of her would be groom; a woman who bears a striking resemblance in personality to Aunt Edithe. Can they hide the truth of Maggie?s identity long enough to get her and Nicholas away from Lord Robert so they can be free to explore the extraordinary circumstances that brought them together? Maybe they can win the challenge of the maze and claim a timeless love as reward.
