Deserted by uncaring parents, five-year-old Megan has only her beloved doll to care for, until she steps through a gate in time to the wondrous world of thirteenth-century England, where she becomes Gloriana, Lady of Kenbrook. Betrothed as a child to Dane St. Gregory, Gloriana has not seen her husband in more than ten years. When he finally returns from the battlefield it is with the beautiful Mariette de Troyes, whom he intends to make his wife.
Entranced by Gloriana, Dane cannot resist her charms and she falls ever deeper in love with him. But scarcely have they known the magic of their mutual ardor when they are torn asunder: Gloriana falls across the chasm of time and returns most unwillingly to the future. Trapped centuries apart, Gloriana and Dane suffer the torment of their longing, knowing that only their love for one another and the strength of their desire can reunite them at last....
