Knight in Shining Armour / Jude Deveraux 341 p.

While traveling in England with her stingy boyfriend and his obnoxious daughter, Dougless Montgomery is left stranded crying at an old tomb when Nicholas Stafford, Earl of Thornwyck, comes strolling up, complete in his dress armor, to rescue her.  He's time traveled from 1564 to her side.  She buys him his first ice cream cone.  Imagine all the firsts for a knight...indoor plumbing, can openers,  staplers,  all fascinate this man.  The pair turn to solving a mystery, who framed him as a traitor during Queen Elizabeth's time.  Along the way they fall in love, only to be separated by 400 years in a flash when they make love.  Dougless bribes an American research for the truth.  When she sobs at Nicholas' tomb, she time travels to 1560, just in time to save Nicholas who stubbornly refuses to listen to this strange woman.  This is a funny read when you see Nicholas planted in modern times and is drawn to modern conveniences we take for granted.
