eBook Description: 1991: Gloria Anderson couldn't believe she let her best friend talk her into taking part in a Civil War re-enactment. She had much better things to do with her time than taking care of fake injuries on pretend soldiers in the smoldering heat. Yes, she would much rather use her nursing experience on real patients. Little did she know, she was about to get her chance ... 1863: Colonel Clayton Jefferson Walker didn't know what to make of the beautiful stranger but he found her to be the answer to his prayers, a nurse who could take the place of his AWOL doctor. She intrigued him. Why would a respectable woman be in the thick of battle? Two things he knew for sure, war was no place for a lady and it was no place for romance. Somehow, he had to get her to safety ... and out of his heart.

"In her debut novel, Claire Hope has written a truly extraordinary book. This Time Forever is one of the best stories I have ever read. The author so involves the reader in the plot that all sense of time is lost... What Gloria thinks is going to be a simple Civil War re-enactment becomes something far worse. One minute she's tending 'wounded' soldiers in 1991 and the next she's treating dying soldiers in 1863, literally in the blink of an eye. As Gloria tries to get a handle on her fear and panic, Colonel Clayton Walker suddenly appears. Clayton had been looking for signs of life among all the dead soldiers when he sees a woman alone on the battlefield. At first thinking that Gloria is a spy, he reluctantly believes her when she says that she's a nurse. As luck would have it, his regimen is without a doctor because when the fighting started the good doctor ran. This Time Forever is such a compelling book because you can't help but get swept up in the story the author is telling. Claire Hope's descriptions of the battlefield are so eerily accurate, it's almost as if you can smell the gun smoke or see the wounded. Ms. Hope's characters are well illustrated; Claire Hope gives readers a passionate love story combined with a wild adventure. Neither this book nor this author should be missed. This Time Forever is without a doubt, a keeper!"--Jaymi, Fallen Angels Reviews

Chapter 1Spotsylvania National Park, May, 1991 The feeling wouldn't go away. She couldn't shake the premonition that she shouldn't have come on this trip at all. "What a thrill it is for us to have real nurses here today," a portly woman in a starched white gown said. She showed the two newcomers around the small cabin. "You'll be able to show us the proper way to treat our wounded." "If they really were wounded," Janice replied. "Of course! No one ever gets hurt during these pretend skirmishes. It's a Civil War re-enactment, but it's important to be as historically accurate as possible." "Of course," Gloria agreed. A sudden shiver ran down her spine. Gloria blinked in surprise. Where did that come from? That sudden, unexplainable urge to flee gnawed at her again, her stomach tightening into knots. Nonsense, she firmly told herself. This will be entertaining and educational. There is nothing to fear. Her mind yelled back--liar.
