Synopsis:Stuck in a marriage that lacks passion, thirty-nine year old Elaine Metcliffe wakes up one morning in a different country, a different time and a different body. At first, she assumes she must be dreaming, but when she awakens the next morning in the same place, she realizes something terrible has happened. She is in the body of Morrigan, wife of Charles Mortimer, Lord Arlcotte. Elaine is afraid to speak and give away her true identity, but after being bullied by both an abusive maid and her own husband, Elaine fights back. Where is she? And what has happened to her own body in the twentieth century? Elaine can only wonder why the pious young Morrigan remained a virgin through her first year of marriage to Charles. She desperately needs time alone to find a way back to her own body, but Charles is determined to awaken the passion in his young bride. For Charles, the change in Morrigan is nothing less than a miracle. Convinced he is married to a cold and frigid woman, he is delighted when Morrigan responds to his amorous advances. He dreams of exploring the limits of sensuality with her-- and is not going to let her revert back to her old ways! As he slowly seduces his own wife, Charles begins to forget the torment she has put him through. Perhaps they will finally be man and wife in every sense. Here in the nineteenth century, Elaine finds her own passion being awakened in a way she has only fantasized about in her old life. It may be the Victorian age, but Charles has studied the ways of the Tantric traditions and shows her that true happiness is in the complete fulfillment of all her earthly desires. She is falling in love with him-- in both heart and body. But when the real Morrigan pops up again in a different body and threatens to expose her as a mad woman, Elaine fears for the happiness-- and sensual pleasure-- she is only just beginning to discover with Charles.
