Celtic Brooch Series — Book Three A Time-Travel Historical Romance of Duty, Consequence, and the Cost of Changing History She thought history belonged safely in the past. She was wrong. Dr. Charlotte Mallory has spent years mastering the details of a life that was never truly hers. A trauma surgeon by training and a historical reenactor by passion, she has dedicated herself to honoring her Confederate ancestor, Major Carlton Mallory, portraying his medical service with precision and respect. History, she believes, should be studied, remembered—and left untouched. Until it doesn’t stay that way. During the 150th-anniversary reenactment of the Battle of Cedar Creek, Charlotte is ripped from the present and thrust into the final, brutal year of the Civil War. Captured by Union forces and hauled before General Philip Sheridan, she is offered an impossible bargain: use her medical skills to save a Union spy being held inside a Confederate hospital—or watch her family’s centuries-old Virginia plantation be destroyed. To survive—and to protect everything her family has built—Charlotte agrees. Her patient is Major Michael Abraham “Braham” McCabe : sharp-eyed, fiercely intelligent, and burdened by secrets that place him at the center of a war far larger than either of them fully understands. When nineteenth-century medicine proves inadequate, Charlotte faces a choice she can never undo. She brings him forward in time—saving his life, but tearing him free from the history that shaped him. The future offers safety. It also offers loss. As Braham struggles to understand a world that no longer remembers his sacrifices, Charlotte must confront the reality of what she’s done. History is not a single, fixed record. It is lived by people who bleed, love, and remember. And when truths unravel and loyalties collide, Charlotte learns that changing the past doesn’t always announce itself with catastrophe. Sometimes history records one version. Those who lived it remember another. The Sapphire Brooch is a sweeping time-travel romance set in the final year of the Civil War, where love and honor collide with impossible choices—and the price of altering history is never paid by only one heart. Katherine grew up in Virginia and Kentucky and attended college in New Jersey, where she earned a BA in Psychology and a minor in Criminal Justice. After attending the Philadelphia Institute for Paralegal Training, she returned to Central Kentucky and worked as a real estate and tax paralegal.   Several years ago, Katherine decided to pursue a lifelong dream of becoming an author. Being a childhood fan of THE TIME MACHINE and A CONNECTICUT YANKEE IN KING ARTHUR'S COURT, Katherine wanted to write time travel stories. Being a fan of PERRY MASON, she also wanted to write mysteries. But most of all, influenced by James Michener and having a passion for history, she wanted to write historical novels. Combining those influences, and drawing upon her early experiences working in the medical field, the plot line for her first book was born.   Katherine's research has taken her out of the country to England and Scotland and this year to the beaches of Normandy and Paris. Recently, she visited the World War II Museum in New Orleans and the Mighty Eighth Museum in Savannah, and topped the trip off with a flight aboard Texas Raiders, a World War II B-17.   Katherine is a marathoner and lives in Lexington, Kentucky.
