Series background & context

Stolen From Time is a time-travel romance series that drops modern women into the American West of the 1870s. Debbi Rawlins's entries blend fish-out-of-water humor with historical danger, then add the central question that drives every book: what happens when a person from another century falls in love with someone who belongs to the past?

The first stop is Deadwood in 1876.

In Once an Outlaw, doctor Reese Winslow arrives in the rough mining town wearing a wedding dress and claiming to be from the future. Sam Keegan, a cowboy who runs the local livery stable, has problems of his own and little reason to trust her story. Yet Reese needs help, Sam cannot seem to stay away, and the hard rules of their world make every choice more complicated.

The series shares its premise across several authors, so it is connected by the time-displacement setup and the people drawn into it rather than by one uninterrupted romance. Rawlins returns in Once a Rebel with Cord Braddock, an ex-stuntman and private detective searching for women who have been sent back in time. Cord's Navajo heritage adds another layer to his difficult arrival in the nineteenth century.

Lone Star Lover takes the idea to a small Texas town in the 1860s, keeping the focus on the collision between modern expectations and an older, far less forgiving world. The historical setting matters because it is not just costumes and saloons. Travel is hard, laws and social roles are restrictive, and a person without money, family, or a believable explanation is vulnerable.

These are romances with an adventurous streak.

Expect frontier towns, outlaws, lawmen, uneasy alliances, and characters trying not to reveal too much about where they came from. The books are sexy and playful in places, but the characters also face the practical problem of survival and the emotional problem of deciding whether going home is still what they want.

Begin with Once an Outlaw. It introduces the series premise and Deadwood setting clearly. Then continue with Once a Rebel for the linked search story, and Lone Star Lover for another Texas-set variation on the same time-travel idea.
