From the New York Times bestselling coauthor of Five Feet Apart and She Gets the Girl comes a fresh and inventive sapphic romantic comedy thatâs âa gem of a bookâ (Booklist, starred review) âperfect for fans of Outlander and Bridgertonâ (Kirkus Reviews).
What if you found a once-in-a-lifetime loveâŚjust not in your lifetime?
Audrey Cameron has lost her spark. But after getting dumped by her first love and waitlisted at her dream art school all in one week, she has no intention of putting her heart on the line again to get it back. So when local curmudgeon Mr. Montgomery walks into her familyâs Pittsburgh convenience store saying he can help her, Audrey doesnât know what sheâs expectingâŚbut itâs definitely not that sheâll be transported back to 1812 to become a Regency romance heroine.
Lucy Sinclair isnât expecting to find an oddly dressed girl claiming to be from two hundred years in the future on her familyâs estate. But she has to admit itâs a welcome distraction from being courted by a man her father expects her to marryâwho offers a future she couldnât be less interested in. Not that anyone has cared about what or who sheâs interested in since her mother died, taking Lucyâs spark with her.
While the two girls try to understand whatâs happening and how to send Audrey home, their sparks make a comeback in a most unexpected way. Because as they both try over and over to fall for their suitors and the happily-ever-afters everyone expects of them, they find instead they donât have to try at all to fall for each other.
But can a most unexpected love story survive even more impossible circumstances?
