The Moonstone 1999 ISBN: 0-515-12654-3
North England, 1390. Viviane is falsely accused of witchcraft, and as time grows near for her execution, she is sure once she speaks to the archbishop, she will be set free. But the archbishop won't see her and she is lead to her execution by the knight Niall. She asks Niall if he would place the moonstone pendant that is around her neck in her hands so that she could take solace in it and make a wish. He takes it off from her neck and places it in her hands, only to see her vanish after she makes her wish, leaving the moonstone behind. Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, 1999. This is where Viviane finds herself. She quickly makes herself at home and tries to fit in without drawing attention to herself. But Niall shows up to take her back to face the archbishop, but he finds himself caught between duty and falling in love with Viviane. I thought this was a great book. I love time-travel romances like this one. It is a well written book and one that will be on my keeper-shelf for me to re-read anytime. :)
