I liked this book a lot. The main character is hired to be the companion of a man who was rescued from the 19th century just before he was known to die of exposure in the arctic north during an exploration to find the Northwest Passage. There are others who have similarly been rescued from other centuries in the past, and the government is trying to determine if they can not only survive in a different timeline but also if they can be used for clandestine purposes. The main character falls in love with her charge, but tries to hide her feelings, all the while hiding key details about his circumstances from him (including the fact that he has a tracker embedded under the skin of his back so the government can see everywhere he goes). Like all time travel books, there are lots of things that don't make sense when logic is applied, but if you can ignore that, this makes for a really fun and interesting book.
