From the New York Times bestselling
coauthor of Five Feet Apart and She Gets the
Girl comes a fresh and inventive sapphic romantic comedy that’s What
If It’s Us meets Bridgerton.
What if you found a once-in-a-lifetime love…just 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 family’s Pittsburgh convenience store saying he
can help her, Audrey doesn’t know what she’s expecting…but it’s definitely not
that she’ll be transported back to 1812 to become a Regency romance heroine.
Lucy Sinclair isn’t expecting to find an oddly dressed girl claiming to be from
two hundred years in the future on her family’s estate. But she has to admit
it’s a welcome distraction from being courted by a man her father expects her
to marry—who offers a future she couldn’t be less interested in. Not that
anyone has cared about what or who she’s interested in since her mother died, taking
Lucy’s spark with her.
While the two girls try to understand what’s 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 don’t have to try at all to
fall for each other.
But can a most unexpected love story survive even more impossible
circumstances?
Excerpt:
I watch as she searches in the grass around where she was lying, looking for something. “Where am I?” she asks again.
“On my family’s estate. Radcliffe.”
An amused smile grows on her face, like I’ve just said something funny. “And what year is it on this ‘estate’?”
“It’s 1812.”
She barks out a laugh, shaking her head as she finds what she’s looking for, a rectangular box that’s now clutched in her hand. “It’s 1812 . . . ,” she mutters to herself. “You’re good. Really committed to this whole acting thing.”
“What do you mean ‘acting thing’?” I ask as I stand and we face each other for the first time. She is a head taller than me, and I crane my neck to meet her gaze, crossing my arms over my chest as I start to get annoyed. She’s trespassing on my land, in this scandalous outfit, interrupting my first moments of sweet freedom, and she’s making every indication that I’m the one who’s strange?
She raises an eyebrow as she motions at me. “The costume, the accent, the ‘Radcliffe, my family’s estate’ bit,” she says, mimicking my voice.
“I don’t understand your meaning. Nor do I appreciate you using that tone with—”
“Mm-hmm,” she says, cutting me off as she lifts the rectangular box toward the sky and begins wandering around in circles.
Maybe she’s . . . unwell? I mean, she’s wearing trousers and a chemise in public.
I inspect her face as she paces around and around, muttering to herself. Then I see the box she’s holding is almost . . . glowing. There’s a painted picture on the front of a dog that looks remarkably realistic.
“No service,” she mutters to herself, coming to a stop in front of me. “Do you have a phone at your house?”
I frown. “A phone?”
“You know”—she holds up the rectangular box, and the glow is bright enough to make me squint—“a phone?”
When I don’t show any sign of recognition, she narrows her eyes at me. “Are you Amish?”
“Am I what?”
“I don’t know! You don’t know what a phone is, you swallowed my gum, you’re dressed like this, and you think it’s 1812.”
“It is 1812,” I say firmly, and she laughs again, but this time it doesn’t quite meet her eyes. “Why is that so amusing to you?”
“Because it’s not possible.”
