When Lightning Strikes Cynthia Lucas 2nd Revised edition

Sarah Douglas is 23, beautiful, smart...and about to marry the perfect guy. Level-headed, nice-looking, honest and intelligent, David du Bois is not only the son of her father's business partner, but the kind of man any mom would want their daughter to marry. Right? Or so she thought...until her mother gives her a mysterious "good luck" charm on the eve of her wedding, telling her that it's a family tradition and if she keeps it with her all night, she will know her heart's true desire.

Sarah thinks it's all just a bunch of silly "Gypsy hocus pocus", but she soon discovers that a walk in the night air and an eerie bolt of lightning is all it takes to sweep her out of the world she knows and into the arms of Dominic du Barbaronne, the handsome, blue-eyed leader of a band of Romanies in the year 1363.

Dominic is everything Sarah has come to distrust in men...too good-looking, too sure of himself and way too passionate to ever be faithful to one woman. But stranded in the world of Medieval France, with its lack of creature comforts and where women are treated as nothing more than chattel, Sarah finds she must place her trust in him to care for her basic needs and protection until she can find a way home. Now, if she could just figure out a way to stop feeling the things she is feeling for Dominic...and convince him that he must let her go, despite the fact he's as determined to keep her with him in the 14th century as she is to go back to her own time.

When fate deals them a hand that may separate them forever, Sarah realizes she can no longer deny the searing, white hot love that spans across time itself. The kind that only happens in that special place...when lightning strikes.
