Time Travel Romance
May Gold, college adjunct,
often dreams about the subject of her master’s thesis - Gianlorenzo Bernini. In
her fantasies she’s in his arms, the wildly adored partner of the man who
invented the Baroque.
But in reality, May has just
landed in Rome with her teaching colleagues and older boyfriend who is paying
her way. She yearns to unleash her passion and creative spirit, and when the
floor under the gilded dome of St Peter’s basilica rocks under her feet, she
gets her chance. Walking through the veil that appears, she finds herself in
the year 1624, staring straight into Bernini’s eyes. Their immediate and
powerful attraction grows throughout May’s tour of Italy. And as she continues
to meet her ethereal partner, even for brief snatches of time, her creativity
and confidence blossom. All the doorways to happiness seem blocked for May-all
except the shimmering doorway to Bernini’s world.
May has to choose: stay in her
safe but stagnant existence, or take a risk. Will May’s adventure in time ruin
her life or lead to a magical new one?

Bestselling Author
The Renaissance Club is a beautifully written
story about a woman torn between two worlds—the present and the
distant past. This time-travel adventure kept me guessing until
the end about which world May would choose, and if that choice would be the
right one. Highly recommended for lovers of time travel fiction or anyone
looking for a compelling story about a woman trying to find happiness. — Annabelle Costa, Author of The Time Traveler’s Boyfriend.
The Renaissance Club shimmers with beauty, poetry, and art.
Author Rachel Dacus sweeps her readers away to Italy with her, lifting the
senses with the sights, sounds, and tastes of that stunning country; imparting
her deep knowledge of Renaissance and Baroque art while immersing the reader in
a gorgeously romantic story. This book is time travel at its best! — Georgina Young-Ellis, author of The Time Mistress Series
