~Getting shot is bad enough, but waking up two hundred years in the past is even worse.~Samantha never thought being in the antiques business would be so dangerous, nor that a locket she swiped for herself would send her to 1783 London. With only enigmatic rhymes for clues, she must find out why she slipped through time and how to get home. Her situation goes from bad to worse when desperation lands her in a brothel, but Samantha's first client may have the answers she needs-if she submits to his desires.There's more to beautiful, long-legged Samantha than meets the eye, but she's a distraction that naval officer Ryder cannot afford. His father is dying, and his fugitive brother has bankrupted their family's shipping business. Samantha turns out to be just what Ryder needs-both in bed and out of it-but the more passion they share, the more embroiled she becomes in his criminal dealings, including the dark secret between Ryder and the obsessed revenue officer who wants to see him hang.~♥~Escape with Me is book two of a series of standalone time-travel historical romances about modern-day heroines finding their Happily Ever After in the past, thanks to their magical locket.Both books in the series can be enjoyed standalone. This book is for adult readers looking for a steamy romance with dark themes. The story contains violence, death, and numerous consensual sex scenes. HEA guaranteed! Ruby Duvall began writing out of spite for otherwise wonderfully written romances that nevertheless didn't quite satisfy. Her addiction to the happily-ever-after began as a teenager, and she wrote her first story at fifteen before moving on to fanfiction and then original fiction. Though she grew up in the Midwest, she now lives with her husband and two children in Seattle. When she's not writing, she reads, enjoys video games, and bakes. Time-slipping heroines (and heroes?) find true love in another era.
