She sensed Terrence before she saw him, smelled lavender and lemon in the old house she was selling. When he appeared, he was as real as she was: a bold 1765 Revolutionary, posing as a Tory. He drew her into his world. Her husband didn't like it. But she couldn't say no. There was something she had to do. What happens when a smart, logical, modern woman doubts herself because something unexplainable has occurred? Tory Roof is her story -- an account of love and longing set against a time of political unrest. Sarah Sutherland is caught between past and present, unable to reconcile her two realities. Turning to a psychiatrist for help, she gradually learns the people around her are not as they seem and that her life is threatened in both realms. Danger. Deception. Desire. Ideal for those who enjoy literary/historical fiction, time travel romance, psychological suspense, and endings that surprise.
Silver Line is a romantic tale in the truest sense of the word, combining an American legend, time travel adventure, and a modern mystery. Jared Sutherland knew nothing of the diary that lay hidden in a quiet corner of Colorado, nor did he know he had a former life. Son of the main character in Tory Roof, he had repressed his extrasensory skills until he meets Alexa St. Clair at an East Coast college. There they discover they can revert to their former, 10-year-older selves — a rugged miner and a beautiful dance hall girl living in an 1860s Colorado town. Lured by the adventure and heat of romance, they continue to return, facing the rigors of frontier life: gunfights, claim jumping, and an epidemic. As a journalism student, Jared is also consumed by the unsolved Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum heist which, for 30 years, remains on ongoing investigation. Determined to locate the stolen art for an article he is writing, Jared and Alexa encounter a stalker, shady art dealers, and a homeless man who knows a lot. With too many cooincidences to ignore, they ultimately realize that clues to the present lie in the past.

Because he is partially color-blind, his black-and-white perspective is both literal and physical—until he meets client Tracee Green—a synesthete who sees words as colors. When she offers to take him on 4 sensory-rich, cerebral journeys to improve his perception and emotional intelligence, he readily agrees, not sure what to expect. What he encounters is far more astounding than he could imagine. With the power of suggestion and exotic beverages, Tracee guides him to pivotal eras in time where he assumes the personas of Arturo, Arthur, Kar, and RT. With each journey (...

I'm not, at heart, a jumper; it's not my sort of thing . . . I think I knew all the time I was sizing up the bridge that the strong possibility was I'd go home, attend my sister's wedding as invited, help hook-and-zip her into whatever she wore, take the bouquet while she received the ring, through the nose or on the finger, wherever she chose to receive it, and hold my peace when it became a question of speaking now of forever holding it.'
