Author: Terry Segan
Genre: Time Travel Romance
Book Blurb:
Keira longed to do something amazing with her life. When offered a chance to join a time travel program, she didn’t hesitate. With her soulmate by her side, nothing could be more perfect.
Grayson never believed happiness would find him until he met Keira. Lightning struck twice when both got accepted into The Jelly Bean Jump Project, a time travel experiment. Only a handful of applicants made the cut each year.
One of the requirements—no family ties. Keira and Grayson were alone in the world except for each other. An adventure of a lifetime awaited, until a glitch in the system threatened to tear them apart. Would they walk away from their fantasy or surrender their hearts in exchange?
Excerpt:
After picking up my tray, I searched for my boyfriend. He hadn’t arrived yet, so I took a seat next to my roommate, Sandra. I set my book on the chair to my right.
“Sometimes I feel like we’re in prison wearing these dang uniforms,” Sandra said.
“I must admit, I do miss my skirts and capris, and it’s only been a week! At least we don’t have to wear those nerdy boots like the security staff.” I sprinkled sugar over my cereal and mixed it in.
“Someone’s got a sweet tooth.” The chair beside me scraped back.
“Desmond, I’m saving that for Grayson.”
He tossed my book onto the table before placing his own tray down and sitting. “You two aren’t joined at the hip, you know. He can sit across from you.” His shoulder rubbed against mine. “Besides, why should he get all the attention from the best-looking doll here.”
I scooted closer to Sandra. “Do you mind? I’m eating.” While Desmond’s looks rivaled the most dashing actors in Hollywood, his arrogance raked through me like fingernails on a chalkboard. His relentless flirting repulsed me, especially because Grayson and I were obviously a couple.
“Good morning, ladies. Ready for another day of Time Travel 101?” Grayson plunked down across from me.
“I could do that stuff in my sleep. Why do we have to get stuck with an instructor who is such a snooze?” Desmond shoveled eggs into his mouth. “Sorry to take your seat, Gray. Keira insisted.” He nudged me with his elbow.
Before I could protest, Grayson jumped in. “Don’t worry about it, Des. From here I get to stare into those amazing blue eyes.” He kept his sight locked on my face.
A warm blush filled my cheeks. I looked down, batted my eyelashes, and giggled like a schoolgirl. “Why thank you, sir.”
“I don’t know whether to feel ill or jealous at the way you two fawn over each other,” Sandra said. Her comment had been directed at Grayson and me, but her gaze focused on Desmond.

If money were no object, where would you go for a Spring Break vacation and why?
Anyone who knows me wouldn’t be surprised that my destination has a beach. While the exclusive small island resorts in the Maldives make me drool, I would have to pick St. Kitts in the Caribbean. Last year we visited for a day while on a cruise, but it was only long enough to tease. On top of the pristine beaches with warm ocean waves lapping on the shore, the island is large enough to rent a motorcycle and enjoy the fabulous views. As a crown in any evening, right in the harbor is a second-story cigar bar featuring a wide selection of whiskeys and hand-rolled cigars. For me, a wonderful vacation is one spent with my husband, where both he and I get to check items off our requirements list. When can we leave?
Why is your featured book a must-read this spring?
It’s a sweet, fast-moving romance filled with adventure, true love, and obstacles our main characters must overcome to be together. Just like the hope of spring being full of new beginnings, their leap into time travel presents new and exciting possibilities for the wonderous lives they hope to lead.
