[MR] SCA in novels

[Marybeth Lavrakas]

A friend of mine once sent me a trashy historical novel that somehow involved time travel. The heroine managed to lie her way into a household position (I think it was 12th century Britain) because she had done a lot of research on her 12th century persona (never knowing she'd be forced to time travel). The hero, meanwhile, who was responsible for marooning her in the past gets b*&chslapped by her mom, an army officer and KSCA who proceeds to train him to fight in order to send him back to rescue said heroine. The one detail I can't remember is how the author explained away everyone speaking 20th century English. Oh well.
