But Sarah's world is turned upside down when her mother offers her a mysterious good-luck charm on the eve of her wedding. She tells her that if she keeps it with her all night she will know her heart's true desire.
Sarah thinks it's nothing more than "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 feudal lords and lack of creature comforts, where women are considered nothing more than chattel, Sarah finds she must place her trust in him to care for her basic needs and see to her protection–despite the fact that he seems as determined to keep her with him in the 14th century as she is to return to her own time and fiance.
When fate deals a hand that may separate her from Dominic forever, Sarah finds she can no longer deny their love...a love that reaches across centuries. The kind that only happens in that special time and place When Lightning Strikes.
