It's time to travel to a prehistoric paradise in this four book box set! This may be a little far-fetched, but darling, you deserve something extraordinary!

Finding my best friend is my one and only mission. I thought maybe she’d been kidnapped, hurt, lost – I never imagined time travel. When I slide into a prehistoric lagoon, I know she must be here. Somewhere.

One minute I’m in an underground cave on a special ops mission, and the next thing I know, I’ve travelled through time. My life became prehistoric pretty damn fast. Woolly mammoths and sabertooth tigers - and no other humans in sight. Five years later, I’m still stuck here. What I really want is a woman. When a flash of lightening brings rain, I’m worried about my fire going out. Turns out that’s the least of my concerns. Because there’s a new storm in this Paleolithic place. Her name is Skylar. A gorgeous force to be reckoned with, and she’s plenty pissed.

I never intended on time travelling to the Stone Age during my Special Ops mission - but it’s not the first thing in my life to get effed up. To say I didn’t have a happy childhood is an understatement - that’s why I joined the military first chance I got. And to be honest - living alone on the beach isn’t the worst way to live out my days.
