  Jane Austen Cannot Marry!

  "POWERFUL AND POIGNANT…I LOVED THIS BOOK."
  - Jane Porter, NYT Bestselling Author
   
  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.
  The mission instructions were plain and simple: Jane Austen cannot marry.
  Except...matters become extremely complicated when the Scribe Guardian's own romantic interest unintentionally follows her across the centuries to 1811.
  Xander Nouri is a tech billionaire who is cheerfully unfamiliar with both history and literature. He has also forged a life where he is insulated from the non-quantifiable uncertainties of feelings and romance. In fact, the only time he let his guard down was for three wildly unexpected days in Las Vegas when he allowed his heart to be fondled and then stomped on by an elusive woman named Nadine. Xander lives in a world of reason, facts, and data…none of which explain her appearance, dressed in period clothing, in a coffin a mile from his secluded mountain home.
  And her claim of time traveling doesn't exactly compute.
  It's not long before sparks once again begin to fly between the former lovers. But Nadine needs to get back to her mission before literary history is permanently damaged. By the time she's able to make the quantum leap back in time, Jane Austen and the captain have already met again...and romance is brewing.
  To complicate matters, Xander has made the trip, as well. And Xander is the unlikeliest 'nerd-out-of-water' ever to land on Regency shores.

  The Autobiography of an...

  "I buried my past... but at what cost to my soul?"
  
  Our narrator is a man of dual heritage—gifted, light-skinned, and acutely observant. Born into a world defined by the "color line," he possesses the unique and dangerous ability to move between the Black and White worlds. From the smoking rooms of high-society New York to the gambling dens of the South, and from the birth of Ragtime to the horrific reality of a public lynching, his journey is a panoramic view of the American racial landscape at the turn of the century. Ultimately, he chooses to "pass" as a white man for the sake of safety and success, but he finds that his "great secret" is a burden that leaves him feeling like an unfaithful witness to his own life.
  
  A Masterclass in Irony and Ambiguity: James Weldon Johnson's narrator is not a typical hero. He is a "flâneur"—a detached observer who often prioritizes self-preservation over solidarity. This narrative choice allows the reader to see the subtle, insidious ways that systemic racism forces individuals to fragment their own identities just to survive.
  
  The Soundtrack of a Changing Nation: The novel is famous for its early and insightful treatment of Ragtime. The narrator, a talented pianist, views the music as a profound contribution to world culture, yet he eventually abandons his dream of elevating Black folk music into classical forms, choosing instead a life of quiet, white-collar invisibility.
  
  Why It Is a Revolutionary Classic: Published before the height of the Harlem Renaissance, this novel shattered the sentimental stereotypes of its time. It is a cold-eyed look at the "privilege" of whiteness and the profound sense of loss that comes with abandoning one's heritage. It remains a vital text for understanding the "double consciousness" of the American experience.
