she could lose him - Dancing In The Athenian Rain by Katie Hamstead

"A natural storyteller, Ms. Hamstead excels in plotting and character development. [...] Her path is a non-linear one, filled with unexpected twists, turns and detours. An entertaining and inspiring read!" - Goodreads, Joanne

Description:

When Donna is sent back in time to Classical Athens, she’s furious at Dr. Stephens for sending her against her wishes. Then a Greek soldier purchases her to be his wife.

She’s forced to learn a new language and culture and faces her fears of never returning to her own time. The society hates her, especially because they think she’s an Amazon, which forces her to confront her issues—being compared to her genius brother, borderline abusive friends, and a cheating boyfriend.

But her husband, Peleus, is kind and patient. He counters all the negative voices from her past, but those voices drive a wedge between them. She must let go of her fears, her inhibitions, and insecurities, and admit her feelings, or she could lose him and the life they’ve built.
