Connie Lorimer is self-confident. She has the brains. She has the legs. She knows she looks older than her almost fifteen years. A perfect combination on a cruise ship, except the guy that’s attracting her attention is focused on something else: going home. What isn’t clear: where home is.
By the time Connie figures out that home is the fifth century Roman Empire and that Balt is hanging out with Attila the Hun, it’s too late to return.
Connie uses her wits, her beginning Latin, and her stamina as a colorguard member, to help Balt achieve his goals, while learning history in a way that no instructor, or her mother, would approve of.
