An Empress's Journey Through Time

Sylvia Cole does not want the match her family has arranged for her, so she asks the man who has just got her out of trouble to sign a marriage register with her and stand in as her husband. He is Jett Harrington, and he has been back in the country a short while. Three years before that, the Jones family worked with Hannah Mack, who was seeing Jett at the time, to frame him, and he went to prison. A man inside took him on as a student and taught him fighting, medicine and the strategy of Guiguzi. The two of them left the country together, and Jett beat the fighters he was put up against in the West and picked up the name the Reaper. He came home to settle what had been done to him. He found Sylvia after someone had drugged her, which is how the two of them met. The paper marriage holds up. Jett and Sylvia work on the trouble her family is in and on the Jones son, and the head of an investment firm goes in with them on a short-selling operation against the Jones holdings.
