About the Book
Celtic Brooch Series — Book Four
A Time-Travel Historical Romance of War, Grief, and the Legacies We Carry Forward
Some losses echo across generations.
Others wait for the moment they can finally be answered.
Retired Army captain Kenzie Wallis-Manning has survived war, leadership, and the quiet reckoning that follows both. A West Point graduate now pursuing a joint degree at Harvard and Cambridge, she is disciplined, capable, and haunted by a grief she rarely names—the loss of a soldier who died protecting her, and the family history shaped by a shame no one ever fully explained.
When a mysterious emerald brooch comes into her possession, Kenzie has no reason to suspect it carries anything more than history.
Until it hurls her back to England in 1944.
Stranded in the final year of World War II, Kenzie is pulled into a world of secrecy, sacrifice, and unrelenting pressure, where survival depends on silence and trust is a currency rarely spent. Assigned to work at Bletchley Park, she finds herself face-to-face with intelligence operations that helped shape the modern world—and with a truth her own family has never been allowed to confront.
Her disappearance sends David McBain into the past to find her and bring her home. For David, the mission is more than duty. He has loved Kenzie in silence for years, and now the line between loyalty and longing becomes impossible to ignore. But the past resists interference, and every attempt to set things right only tightens history’s grip.
As Kenzie uncovers the truth about her grandfather—a man condemned as a traitor and erased by history—she is given a chance to change the story that defined her family. Saving him will not only rewrite the past, but reshape the man her father becomes and the legacy Kenzie carries forward.
Love offers no protection here.
War allows no clean victories.
And history exacts its price whether it is changed—or left untouched.
The Emerald Brooch is a sweeping World War II time-travel romance where courage is inherited, grief demands reckoning, and love becomes the force that finally allows the past to be faced—so the future can move forward.
