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?

*UNDERGOING EDITING AND SMALL CHANGES RANKED #1 IN #DADSBESTFRIEND TROPE My gaze was fixed on Weston, wanting to look away so he didn't see me but unable to, and so when he whipped his head in my direction, he looked me square in the eyes. I was painfully aware of how I was sitting on Dego's lap, his arm around my waist, mine around his neck. I couldn't move, couldn't breathe, and he didn't either for several time stopping seconds. Then he slowly took a step in my direction, and kept walking until he was standing directly in front of Dego and I. •~•~•~•~•~•~••~~• Two years ago Avery Blackwood's father met and married a demure Sunday school teacher, who, within a matter of months, spent his entire savings and completely wiped out everything he'd done over the years, wrapping up the whole thing by having an affair. Her father divorced the woman, but it was too late to save the families finances, and before they could even begin to get back on their feet, Daniel Blackwood is deployed to the middle east, leaving Avery with her wealthy cousins to try and acclimate to an environment foreign to the one she was raised in. The pressure builds until Avery makes the choice to leave, her destination over halfway across the country; her brothers ranch in southeastern Colorado. The only obstacles-she has fifty dollars to her name and no car, and her controlling aunt standing in the way. Influenced by a childhood of war and action movies, Avery, armed with a bowie knife and determination, simply heads out the back door and doesn't look back. She isn't expecting her envisioned trek across America to end so soon; a chance meeting with a family friend and neighbor who feels responsible for his friends daughter causes her to alter her plans. Within the few days she is with Weston Travers, she falls for him, and falls hard, but falling in love with someone ten years her senior may not have the fairytale ending every girl dreams about.

[BOOK TWO] "Anniversaries to some are like counting the years spent doing something great, years spent together, or years spent alive." I started slowly, voice dropping to a drawl as I peeked cautiously out of my bedroom blinds, scanning the road to see if there was a cloaked figure watching my every movement. "I view anniversaries as counting down the days till death finds me." *** After the events of her wonderfully packed 21st birthday, Addison was ready to retire back into her home and never again see the light of day. It wasn't a totally bad idea. After all, her family's generations-old riches was enough to tide her over until the day her past finally catches on, and until that day finally arrives, she had no intention to step out of her front door. And to think the last time she did, she ended up in the game of cat and mouse with a cynical hooded spirit that wanted her dead and her soul in a glass bottle for his own little sadistic collection. Silence had followed the whole year after the disastrous party. For nearly 365 days, Addison had no trouble with unwanted evil celestial beings lurking around her house in an attempt to take her soul away with a world-stopping kiss. However, the silence was too often, and the world had become too quiet. Reason being? Apparently, Death's new move was to kidnap her best friend Minnie Hoover in an attempt to bait her down to hell itself. Life became much quieter without one-third of her little clique. And so Addison ventured away from the safety of her home, in search of her best friend. After all, silence creeps the heart just as death does, and the world was now deadly silent. ***** Highest Rank Fantasy: #9 Highest Rank Teen Fiction: #77

(Complete) A possible future tethered by the hands of a watch that can't be controlled. ... Kinsley Hale's grandpa has an obsession with clocks - analog, cuckoo, pendulum. If you can name it, odds are he has it. For his 80th birthday, Kinsley wants to get him something special. Something one of a kind. So, she visits an antique shop. Nothing screams unique quite like old, dusty collectables, and she comes across a beautiful piece - a wornout leather wristwatch encrusted with deep blue stones. It's perfect. Until she finds herself unexpectedly transported from present day New York to Australia in 1994. Thrown completely off guard by dial-up internet, grunge music, and the rise of digital media, she struggles to navigate an era where a young Hugh Jackman has yet to experience fame. Fascinated with his raw talent and magnetic charm, Kinsley finds herself falling for him as she tries to figure out a way back home without changing what happens in the future. Even small actions in the past could alter the course of history, and if she can't keep her emotions in check, she's going to jeopardize everything Hugh is working towards. That leaves her with a heart-wrenching decision when she learns the truth behind the watch. She has to choose between saying goodbye to the man she loves or destroying his dreams.
