“There is nothing in this life that can destroy you but
yourself. Bad things happen to everyone, but when they do, you can't just fall
apart and die. You have to fight back. If you don't, you're the one who loses
in the end. But if you do keep going and fight back, you win.”

girlfriend… and he can travel back through time. But it’s not like the
movies—nothing changes in the present after his jumps, there’s no space-time

the future.
Desperate to somehow return to 2009 to save
Holly but unable to return to his rightful year, Jackson settles into 2007 and
learns what he can about his abilities.
But it’s not long before the people who shot
Holly in 2009 come looking for Jackson in the past, and these “Enemies of Time”
will stop at nothing to recruit this powerful young time-traveler. Recruit… or
kill him.
Piecing together the clues about his father, the
Enemies of Time, and himself, Jackson must decide how far he’s willing to go to
save Holly… and possibly the entire world
Scarlet Woods
Past, future, and love all
exist in the door through time.
Modern and independent seventeen year old Morgan
Westbrook thought she had seen all there was to her home town of Scarlet,
Georgia, but one day while walking in the woods behind her house she discovers
a mysterious door masked behind the trees. After admiring the door’s timeless
beauty she walks through its entrance to venture into more woods, but what she
doesn’t know is that the door is a gateway through time that takes her back to
the year 1863 during the days of the Civil War in Scarlet.
Without knowing that she had traveled back in
time, she stumbles upon Danny Carson, an attractive young man who is appalled
to see that Morgan is wearing skimpy modern clothes instead of a nineteenth
century dress. Although they find each other completely different than anyone
they’ve ever known, they cannot help but feel drawn to one another. After
spending time in another century, she discovers that she's time traveled back
to the year 1863 and that the door took her there. For months she and Danny
journey back and forth through the door to experience the joys of traveling to
both of their centuries. When dilemmas of unwanted marriage, slavery, and war
are thrown at them, they must face the perils that time travel has delivered
them in both the future and the past.
Steel
It was a slender length of rusted steel, tapered to a
point at one end and jagged at the other, as if it had broken. A thousand
people would step over it and think it trash, but not her.
This was the tip of a rapier.
Sixteen-year-old Jill has fought in dozens of
fencing tournaments, but she has never held a sharpened blade. When she finds a
corroded sword piece on a Caribbean beach, she is instantly intrigued and
pockets it as her own personal treasure.
The broken tip holds secrets, though, and it transports Jill through time to
the deck of a pirate ship. Stranded in the past and surrounded by strangers,
she is forced to sign on as crew. But a pirate's life is bloody and brief, and
as Jill learns about the dark magic that brought her there, she forms a
desperate scheme to get home—one that risks everything in a duel to the death
with a villainous pirate captain.
Time travel, swordplay, and romance combine in an original high-seas adventure
from New York Times bestseller Carrie Vaughn.
