Twenty-seven year old, Henry Pryce, a most unhappy, self-absorbed man, finds himself being stalked by a lovely young woman. As to why? He can’t fathom. Her ability to vanish into thin air scares him witless. Meanwhile, he has girlfriend
problems. Savannah Wilkes is fed up with his narcissism, his rude manners. His apartment neighbors torment him with their loud music. This leads to confrontations. He hates his abusive boss and finds his tech-support job boring. His main gripe: his lack of pay. His parents and siblings are highly successful. His sister texts him often with inspirational quotes (this irks him to no end), as she constantly worries about his lack of ambition. She fears for his future.
As a former WWI ambulance driver, Rachelle Dalcassain, is no foreigner to death and danger. However, her high-society world is upturned when she’s put upon to do the impossible and a most irksome task: kidnap twenty-something, Henry Pryce, a most loathsome 21st century man and spirit him back to her world, 1920's Chicago. There, she hopes to bring order to his chaotic life. Empowered by a magical note, she begins her journey by stalking him. Once Pryce is kidnapped, she has only a few hours to accomplish her mission. Unbeknownst to them, death lurks near.
Between journeys to the past, she sets out to avenge her assistant, Paige Hopkins. The horrific act visited upon her by slum lord, Charles L. Whitmore, must be repaid by this famous Jazz-Age musician. Dalcassain's act of violence has far reaching effects that she couldn't have imagined.
