Magic meets science and sunshine meets grumpy when a love spell whisks a Regency-era duke to modern times. Magic meets science and sunshine meets grumpy when a love spell whisks a Regency-era duke to modern times. Rose Novak, a free-spirited museum employee who dabbles in magic, has had her share of disappointments. So when she tries a little spell for a romance with an "old-fashioned gentleman," she doesn't really expect it to work...especially literally. And yet, the duke from a painting she admired at the museum is now standing in her apartment, demanding to know who abducted him. A man of science and truth, Henry Leighton-Lyons, the Duke of Beresford, has searched tirelessly for a way to turn back time and be with his late wife again. Instead, just as he's about to pose for his portrait, he's ripped centuries forward by a feckless, scantily dressed-and utterly bewitching-woman who believes in nonsense like crystals and astrology. Unable to immediately reverse her spell, Rose vows to help Henry return to his own century, even though disguises and high jinks are required to get their hands on an enchanted astrolabe and master the art of time travel. But it's hard not to fall for the irritable yet honorable duke. Little does she know that he's starting to wonder- did a reckless love spell get it right, after all
