Catherine Friend

 The Spanish Pearl

The Spanish Pearl is an epic adventures spiced with humor, list, and danger - a story with surprising twist that will capture your imagination just as Kata's dilemma captures your heart. 

When Kate Vincent and her partner travel to Spain, Kate is accidentally transported back in time...way back in time... 1085. What does a woman like Kate do in a world of no antibiotics, no feminism, no Diet Coke? She denies it as long as possible, then sets her mind to getting home. Tricky with her now useless twenty-first century skills. Things don't go well. Kate is captured by a band of mercenary soldiers and becomes an unwitting pawn in the violent conflict between the Catholic kings and Islamic Moors. In her struggle to stay alive and return to the future, Kate must flee exotic harems, filthy dungeons, and treacherous moorish courts. But when a sword-brandishing woman with an astonishing secret sweeps into Kate's life, Kate is suddenly torn between two women, and between two centuries.
