A fish-out-of-water time travel novel set in Regency England and the 21st century Colorado Rockies. Nadine Finley has made the quantum commute to 1811 to stop Jane Austen from meeting and marrying Captain Charles Gordon. The two of them share a romantic past, and if Nadine fails in her mission, Jane will never get to London. The fledgling author will never get her first book ready for publication. And if the novel is never readied for the presses, Jane will never go back home and revise the manuscript that will eventually become Pride and Prejudice. In short, disaster.

Xander Nouri is a tech billionaire who is cheerfully unfamiliar with both history and literature. He has also forged a life where...
