The Dusky Club, June 1962 (The Necklace #1)
Overview
She had dreamed about him for fifty years.
Now she has seven days to discover whether the dream is better than reality.
Susan has been in love with James since she was twelve years old.
For half a century, he's been her private Dream Prince—the handsome young musician who helped her escape the unhappiness of her childhood and became the fantasy she never completely outgrew.
At sixty-two, happily married and still hopelessly fascinated by the man she never had, Susan gets an impossible opportunity.
She can go back in time to meet James.
While on a cruise with a longtime friend, a mysterious Haitian woman she meets at dinner claims she can send Susan through time to 1962, where she can meet James before fame transforms his life. And because Susan doesn't want to meet the man of her dreams as a sixty-two-year-old grandmother, she chooses to return in the body of her seventeen-year-old self.
Seven days.
That's all she has.
Within minutes of arriving at the smoky Dusky Club in Brighton, Susan finds herself face-to-face with the young James—and discovers that her dream man is every bit as magnetic as she imagined.
The attraction is immediate.
The passion is overwhelming.
And James wants her.
But Susan soon discovers that the young man she's worshipped from afar is far more complicated than the perfect Prince she's created in her imagination. His charm and tenderness come with a possessive streak, a quick temper, and attitudes that clash violently with the independent woman Susan has become.
Yet knowing she must leave only makes their time together more precious.
As the days disappear, Susan finds herself caught between the man she has loved in her dreams for fifty years and the husband waiting for her in the present.
What happens when the fantasy you've carried your entire life finally becomes real?
Sometimes getting exactly what you wished for is the only way to discover what you truly want.
