Publisher Description
In Thorne Manor there is one locked door. Behind it lies a portal to the twenty-first century, and nothing is going to stop Miranda Hastings from stepping through. After all, she is a Victorian writer of risqué pirate adventures—traveling to the future would be the greatest adventure of them all.
When Miranda goes through, though, she lands in Georgian England…and in the path of Nicolas Dupuis, a privateer accused of piracy. Sheltered by locals, Nico is repaying their kindness by being their “pirate Robin Hood,” stealing from a corrupt lord and fencing smuggled goods on the village’s behalf.
Miranda embraces Nico’s cause, only to discover there’s more to it than he realizes. Miranda has the second sight, and there are ghosts at play here. The recently deceased former lord is desperate to stop his son from destroying his beloved village. Then there’s the ghost of Nico’s cabin boy, who he thought safe in a neighboring city. Miranda and Nico must solve the mystery of the boy’s death while keeping one step ahead of the hangman.
It may not be the escapade Miranda imagined, but it is about to be the adventure of a lifetime.

A Turn of the Tide
A Turn of the Tide by Kelley Armstrong
#3 of the Stitch in Time series. Can be read as a stand-alone but better as part of the series.
Miranda writes adventure stories for women under a masculine name. She wants an adventure herself and dares to enter the time shift in Thorne Manor she knows about from her family. She’s transported to he past where she saves a man whose death she has seen repeatedly as a ghost. Together Miranda and Nico set out on an adventure to save the local townspeople from oppression and high taxes.
Ghosts, Pirates, swords and a handsome French man. An adventure to win the heart and save the day. Engaging. A read you will want to finish in a single setting.
I am so looking forward to more of this series! Absolutely love it.
Excerpt of Miranda after dressing for the first time in “male” clothing:
“I slap my cap back in place and adjust it as I stride out the door. Also, may I just say how much easier “striding” is in trousers? In my mind, I’m often marching with purpose, but when one is wearing five layers of floor-length skirts, striding is primarily a state of mind. Now I can actually walk with purpose, which is fitting, as I have rarely been in a mood to move quite so resolutely.”
