Lydia Hunter has always be obsessed with the portrait of Lord Damron in Blackthorn’s Museum, but it is a surprise when she is suddenly transported back in time, only to come face to face with the man who haunts her. But Lydia is now in the body of Brianna Sinclair, and as much as she has always thought of this man, the real Lord Damron is not like she thought at all.

Lord Damron is ordered by the king to marry Brianna Sinclair and take over Blackthorn Castle. Damron had no wish to marry and would get out of it if he could. He heard the Lady Brianna was meek and mild, but the woman he meets is not mild, and definitely not meek. That only intrigues him more, but Lord Damron would never let another woman near his heart again.

After Damron and Lydia are married, Damron keeps his suspicions and watches every move Lydia makes. Lydia does not want to get close to Damron, with the fear of being taken back to her time. Damron waits for betrayal, and betrayal and treachery are not far behind. Could Damron and Lydia get past these obstacles to have a future?

SUPERB! Ms. Johnson has penned another wonderful historical, and this time added the twist of time travel. This story is truly amazing as Ms. Johnson shows her creativity by making the time travel believable, and the use of dated dialect. Very strong characters are the center of attention in this lovely tale, but there are also some very important second characters. Breathtakingly sensual, you will love the relationship between Lydia and Damron. Ms. Johnson has become a favorite author of this reader, and after you read Always Mine, I think you will be hooked too.
