Lady in Lace: Regency Timeslip — Joanna Maitland

A shredded gold lace ballgown. The greatest rake in Regency London. And the modern woman who links them both.

When costume curator Emma Stanley meets a frock-coated phantom in an endless museum passage, her body takes fire at his touch. But he melts away, leaving her lost, and clutching the shredded wreck of a Regency ballgown.

The magic of the gold lace gown transports Emma across centuries. When is she? Where is she? Most importantly, who is she in this alien time?

In front of her, a naked man rises from his bath. He welcomes her. He knows her name. He wants her. But he's dangerous -- the greatest rake in London, the stud that every woman desires.

Should Emma respond to him? Will she get back to her own time if she does? And, given the threatening shadows swirling round in her modern world, is it safe to return?
