said all the right things...
Then left her alone.
Troianne Shelden is your everyday, intelligent student. With a love for history and stunning figure, she's a catch for any guy. But after a night of passion with a handsome stranger, introduced to her by their mutual friends, she finds herself pregnant with nowhere to turn for advice.
Her parents passed away long ago and, soon after Troianne finds out she's pregnant, her grandmother passes, too. Left with a large inheritance, she looks forward to life with her new baby.
Fate takes the wheel when she goes into labor. On her way to the hospital, she passes out from intense pain and wakes up in a very different place...
The next thing she knows, she's hearing carriage wheels and voice shouting for help. Lightning illuminates the inside of what was, only moments before, the back of a taxi cab. When the door opens, she's greeted by a handsome man dressed like he stepped out of the past.
In shock, she realizes that she's somehow traveled back in time--
...and she has no idea how to return.

This book was very well written. Troianne lives with her grandmother following the deaths of her parents in a horrible accident. She finds out she has become pregnant after a one night stand with a guy she was introduced to by friends. She tries to get in contact with him with no luck so her grandmother helps her. There is a tornado one night and as she is trying to get to the cellar her water breaks so she calls a man she knows to bring her to the hospital but on the way there they get in a accident and she comes to in a carriage in the past. There she meets Duncan Bells-Whitby, Second Earl of Culsworth who is a physician and he and his mother help her deliver her baby. Duncan lets troianne and her baby stay with him and they fall in love while trying to protect her daughter Diana from people who want her for her uniqueness. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more from this author.

HE SAID ALL THE RIGHT THINGS
Troianne Shelden is a high school student with a bright future. She’s smart, shapely and a catch for any guy. But after a night of passion with a handsome stranger, everything changes. Her future is in doubt when she finds herself pregnant.
THEN LEFT HER ALONE
When her grandmother passes away, and with her parents long dead, Troianne suddenly finds herself with a large inheritance, but absolutely no one she can trust to turn to for help.
Fate takes a hand when she goes into labor. Blinded by pain, she passes out in the back of an ambulance – and wakes up somewhere very different.
She opens her eyes to find herself not in a modern ambulance, but in the back of a horse-drawn carriage. When the door opens she’s greeted by a handsome man dressed like he stepped out of the past. In shock, Troianne realizes that she’s somehow traveled back in time.
And she has no idea how to return home…
