When lightning strikes
(Book)

When a romance writer discovers that she’s magically entered her own novel, she must team up with the gruff, alluring protagonist to find her way back home—from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Women.

“Hannah is superb at delving into her main characters’ psyches and delineating nuances of feeling.”—The Washington Post Book World

Romance writer Alaina Costanza has given up on dreams and fairy tales. Then one storm-tossed, enchanted night she is plunged back in time to the wild, Western world of her newest novel. Disoriented and disbelieving, she is kidnapped by her own character, a ruthless outlaw only known as Killian.
 
At first Alaina is not afraid. After all, she wrote this story, invented the notoriously sexy Killian. Now she’s matching him hard-bitten word for word . . . until she’s hit with the shock of her life: this is all too real. Once wisecracking and invincible, she is now a mother desperate to return to the child she left behind—one hundred years in the future.
 
Thrown together by fate, Alaina and Killian will discover a love too magnificent to last a single lifetime. But even magic has a price, and time is running out. For the sake of Alaina’s child, they must risk it all and fight for a future that depends on lightning striking . . . twice.
