*Signed Bookplates!*

A time-bending love story between a prickly young woman and a carefree stranger, who are tasked with saving the universe—after accidentally destroying it in the first place.

Genevieve Newhouse and Ash Hargreaves weren’t supposed to meet like this. Unless it was always meant to be . . . 

Gen is a fastidious science prodigy with a chip on her shoulder, and she can turn herself invisible. 

Happy-go-lucky Ash has just escaped a sheltered (read: cultish) childhood, and he can manipulate time. 

The gifted eighteen-year-olds cross paths at the 1934 Chicago World’s Fair, where Genevieve’s experimental physics project causes an apocalyptic explosion. Ash tries to avert catastrophe by gallantly rewinding time a few minutes, but instead, he transports them back to 1893. The duo finds themselves trapped in an unfamiliar, unwelcoming era, with no idea how to return to their own time—or if their own time even exists. Their cataclysmic leap across decades might have destroyed the world as they know it . . . 

Fate and free will intertwine in this page turning historical romance that sets two irresistible strangers down a chaotic, potentially apocalyptic path. “Will they or won’t they” takes on a whole new meaning as Gen and Ash fight for survival while falling in love. 

Hand to fans of Immortal Longings and Anatomy: A Love Story, and don’t miss companion novels Murder for the Modern Girl and A Starlet’s Secret to a Sensational Afterlife.

William ★★★★★

I finished this in two sittings, which never happens for me anymore. The time-loop premise could've been a mess but the prickly heroine and her carefree counterpart play off each other so well, and the actual signed bookplate tucked in the cover made it feel like a little keepsake.

Victoria G. ★★★★★

The signed bookplate on the inside cover was such a nice surprise, and the actual story had me hooked by chapter three. The prickly heroine and her carefree counterpart bicker their way through saving the universe, and I genuinely laughed out loud more than once. Finished it in two sittings.

Adam ★★★★★

I went in expecting a light time-travel romp and ended up crying on my couch at 2am. The dynamic between the prickly heroine and the carefree stranger is the real draw here, and the signed bookplate was a lovely touch.
