When nineteenth-century mail-order bride Miss Emmentine Pike falls from a stagecoach, she doesn't expect to land in the future-where she's known as the Dead Bride, who was murdered back in 1895 before she could marry her prospective groom.
Modern-day veterinarian Adam Carstenson, rescuer of maltreated horses and abandoned pets, knows better than to give his heart to a woman. But when Miss Emmentine's 'resemblance' to the Dead Bride attracts the attention of the press, and the fortune left in a trust for her by a distant relative attracts fortune hunters, he takes her under his wing.
But the danger that stalked Miss Emmentine in 1895 hunts her still in the future, and with a fortune to inherit, and love on the line, she and Adam must confront the past, if they are to have a life together.
