SOLVED. book about a young boy who dreams of Ancient Rome please and thank you :) [s]

Hi all! I need help finding a book that, for the life of me, I can't find anywhere despite all the details I *do* remember about it. I haven't read the book, just found it on Amazon one day but never added it to my TBR list and now I can't find any info on it.

Here's what I do know/remember about the book:

- It's about a young boy (possibly teen) who seems to have dreams about Ancient Rome. (don't know if the dreams are recurring or not)
- The cover is yellow. It has the boy alongside a girl and they're possibly holding hands? Their reflection beneath them shows them wearing clothes like that of the ancient Romans
- The author's first name is the initials "CD," I believe. I don't remember his last name. He is an older white man, from what I remember seeing on Amazon's page
- The summary on Amazon was really long, almost seemed to be revealing too much about the book
- It is likely to have been written within the past 5 years or so. (Don't know this for certain, though)
- I don't remember the title, obviously, but it seems to be something along the lines of "meet in a different time" or "different life" or "another life/time"

You'd think with the amount of details I remember something would show up online, but I have had no such luck. If anyone could help me out here, I would be SO grateful. Thank you!!!
