This is the story of Jeremy Steele. Mr. Steele does not believe in love, and on his way to visit a "working girl" he stumbles across her Indian father. The father, believing that Steele is the cause of his daughter's demise, sends Steele back in time with a curse. He will loose his body, country, and dog. However, he will find love, but once he finds it, it will be taken away from him.

Transported from 1877 to 1777, Steele finds himself trapped inside the body of a drunkard Englishman, who is a poor excuse for a British solider. Susanna Compton, a nurse working at the hospital where "Felix Ogelthorpe" is healing from a gut-shot wound, is introduced. Susanna, having abandoned her ex-lover/fiance because of his views on women and politics, is a secret spy for the Patriots, while working as a nurse at the hospital. While distrustful at first of the change in "Felix" she is willing to give him the benefit of doubt so that she can recruit him to the Patriot cause.

Slowly, Susanna and Jeremy's relationship builds until Jeremy realizes that he is in love with her. What will happen with the curse? Will he return to his time period without his new love? Will he die the death of a traitor to the British crown? Does Susanna love him in return?

I love time travel books, however this one was not a pleasant experience. Besides this book being dull, it is riddled with historical inaccuracies. The author did not appear to put any actual research into her time periods, which truly detract from the book. I would not recommend this book to anyone with any working knowledge of the Revoluntary and Post-Civil War eras.

Excellent time travel. One of the better ones I have read. I good heartwarming ending. My biggest disappointment was that the story had ended.
