The Saxon Lord’s Bride by Cynthia Luhrs

She came to outrun the fire that took her partner… and was told to find a man born a thousand years ago.

When firefighter Darcy Patterson touches an ancient Saxon brooch at a seaside antiques fair, an old woman whispers two words. Find him.

Then the world tilts, and Darcy wakes on a smoke-choked shore in 1066, just as William the Conqueror’s army lands in England. The brooch is gone along with everything she knows, and somewhere in a country about to fall, she is apparently supposed to find a man.

She finds Wulfric, a Saxon lord who has no time for strangers. The Normans are coming. His people are looking to him, and he intends to stand and fight for the land his family has held for generations. He understands war. She understands chaos. He commands the men who fight, while Darcy sees the things battle plans forget. Blocked exits, frightened children, spreading fire, and the moment an orderly retreat becomes a massacre.

They may not be able to save England, but they might save each other.

The trouble is, Wulfric believes honor means standing your ground. Darcy has survived by always knowing where the exits are. And somewhere between burning villages, impossible choices, and one very inconvenient kiss, the man she was sent to find becomes the one man she can’t imagine leaving.

A sweeping, emotional time travel romance featuring a battle-hardened Saxon lord, a fiercely capable firefighter, and a love worth choosing when history offers no safe place to stand. Perfect for readers who love medieval romance, high-stakes history, slow-burn love, and impossible choices across time.
