Until the Light Returns
(2026)(The sixth book in the Light Trilogy series)
A novel by Susan Leigh Carlton
When a mysterious white Light sweeps Virginia Caldwell out of 2026 and drops her into Wind River, Wyoming Territory, in 1879, she has only one goal:
Get home.
Ginny wants no part of frontier life. She misses hot showers, electricity, comfortable clothes, modern medicine, and a world where survival doesn't depend on chopping wood before breakfast. Every day in the past feels like something to endure while she waits for the Light to return.
Then she meets widowed rancher Luke Shereidan.
Luke doesn't understand Ginny's strange expressions, her impatience with nineteenth-century customs, or why she keeps staring at empty places as though expecting a doorway to appear. But he understands loneliness, and beneath Ginny's frustration he sees a woman trying desperately not to become attached to a life she never chose.
She fails.
As friendship deepens into love, Ginny begins to find reasons to stay—quiet evenings on the porch, laughter she never expected, and a man whose steady affection makes the harshness of the frontier easier to bear.
Then the Light returns.
Luke loves her enough to let her go.
Ginny steps back into 2026 and regains everything she thought she wanted.
Everything except him.
Only after returning to her own century does Ginny understand that home isn't always the place where you began. Sometimes it is the person you left behind.
Now she can only hope the Light will give her one more chance.
Until the Light Returns is a heartfelt time-travel romance about sacrifice, second chances, and a love powerful enough to make one woman cross centuries twice to find where she truly belongs.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
