No man can resist the power of the sword.

No woman can resist the man who wields the power.

Dorel Everly, an out-of-work aeronautical engineer, receives a legacy of a strangely beguiling samurai sword that draws the man she's been waiting for into her life. She soon discovers airline pilot Michael Gabrielli, a former military special ops psychic spy, uses remote viewing to travel Time to find an ancient samurai sword that bestows vast power upon the owner. Michael wants Dorel's sword, and her. But his love will be the death of them both. Again.

From Publishers Weekly
When Dorel everly inherits a mysterious sword from her grandfather, it brings her a lover she's known in another life, but his passion has a dangerous edge. Melinda Rucker Haynes's The eternal Trust was originally released as an e-book, but with four stars from Romantic Times Magazine, it seemed like a good bet for print - which it is: Haynes crafts a highly readable romance complete with a "trained psychic spy," a magical samurai sword, time travel and a lesson about the "transformational power of love."

From Booklist
Just after Dorel Everly has lost everything--her beloved grandfather, her engineering job with Boeing, her house-sitting job, and all her savings--a courier shows up with a samurai sword left to her by her grandfather. When she investigates selling it at a weapons show, she meets Michael Gabrielli, a pilot who had been a psychic spy in the military, and is swept with him into a maelstrom of danger and adventure involving ninjas and past-life experiences. Dorel and Michael had been linked with the mysterious sword through several lifetimes in an Eternal Trust as the Defender and Guardian. If they are to avoid a terrible death, Dorel must find a way to defeat the cycle. Originally published as an e-book, Haynes' tale won the 2001 Eppie Award (e-book) for Best Fantasy/Paranormal Romance. Diana Tixier Herald
