About this ebook

From USA Today bestselling author Rebecca Hefner

One woman bred to save the world…

Dr. Elaine “Lainey” Randolph was born with one sole purpose: to prevent the past. With her brilliant mind and unwavering spirit, she works tirelessly to solve the equations that will finally unlock the mystery of time travel. Then, she will leave the post-apocalyptic future her grandfather created and travel back in time to prevent his calamitous actions.


When handsome military captain Hunter Rhodes appears at Lainey’s remote scientific hub, he offers her protection. But there are strings attached to the mysterious soldier’s proffer, and Lainey finds herself wary of the man who stokes unwelcome longing and desire in her unemotional heart. For Lainey is a scientist, obdurate and dispassionate toward the notion of romantic love.


As Lainey’s band of ragtag scientists and loyal soldiers endeavor to escape the dystopian future, the evil New Establishment threatens to destroy them all. In their unpredictable timeline, the nefarious regime has become all-powerful and will stop at nothing to ensure complete world domination…

This novel is brought to you by a self-proclaimed science dork and lover of romance, fantasy and sci-fi. The reader can expect time travel shenanigans, smokin' hot chemistry between main characters in their late 30s and 40s and twists along the way. Enjoy the journey!

This was a really great story. Definitely not my type of book, but I enjoyed following the story plot of saving the world, while following a romantic plot at the same time. The first half (ish) of the book was a little difficult for me to get through, but it picked up quickly soon after. Overall I enjoyed it thoroughly and would definitely recommend. It was a good change of pace having a futuristicromance that has a very different feel than typical fantasy romances that are set in the past or present usually.

Typically, this isn't my first genre to read. I get bored easily with Scifi, but my husband is a scifi trekky nerd 😂 I chose to read this while he helped me with terminology lol. Surprisingly, I didn't need any. Rebecca did a fabulous job of not allowing me to get lost while keeping it fast pace and engaging. Lainey was on a mission to stop her grandfather from starting the war with her time machines. Hunter was supposed to be there to protect her, but does he have other motives? I'm glad I picked up this book despite the genre. My husband loved the techy lingo while I enjoyed the romance aspect. We very much enjoyed listening together. Another fabulous job!
