In this final instalment in the Hands Of Time series, Jack mysteriously lands in the year 1952- in Canada, half dead from a gunshot wound to the chest. Beautiful, young heiress Aveline Langley saves his life, but he doesn't want saving. He's had all he can take of floating through time and space without a reason other than protecting the lives of the innocent.
However hesitant, there is something different about Aveline. She is kind- enigmatic- pure. Goodness personified- everything he is not.
While vacationing in Canada's first National Park, Aveline's parents die in a car crash. What looks like an accident, quickly turns into something more sinister when she finds she is next on the assassin's list.
Jack assumes the position of bodyguard to the affluent young woman, but can't keep his heartstrings from getting tangled, despite Aveline's aversion to him.
With a past so colourful and unusual, Jack wonders if he will ever be able to live a normal life. Even if he found the right woman and settled down- he could wake up one morning in another century, leaving his heart and those he loved in a whole other world, never to return.
Can he protect Aveline, or will she be yet another failed mission on his list, another person he's come to love...and leave forever?
