Summary

After her mother's death, Miss Zoe Chase returns to England to find an ideal husband.  
Practical considerations include:  
Must be responsible. Must have adequate connections.  All teeth would be a plus.  
A secret part of Zoe yearns for love, but she can't afford to let her heart decide. With the help of an old friend, Zoe should have the business done, post haste.  
If not for Winn...   
No plan included a devilishly handsome earl cursed to die.  
A family curse left Lord Winthrop Burton fatherless at age five. Now condemned to die by age thirty, Winn is determined to do it on his own terms.  
Practical considerations include:  
No marriage. No children. No falling in love.  
Winn will leave no one behind to mourn him.  
If not for Miss Zoe Chase...  
When plans fight passion, everything falls.  
As desire flares, both careen towards the curse's end. Because the accidents that once plagued Winn are now happening to Zoe.  
To save Zoe, Winn must push her away. Except Zoe has fallen in love with him.  
And love does not yield to practical considerations.  
Can Winn discover the truth of his curse before it ends them both?

    Shakespeare has never been this sexy!
     
    One evening when helping a colleague stage The Merchant of Venice, English professor Jessica Randall slides momentarily back to 1598. Later that night, she lands for good in the chambers of one William Shakespeare, a down-on-his luck playwright.
     
    His biggest problem of late has been a non-stop stream of Jessicas apparating into his chambers nightly. Yet Jessica's appearance halts the visitations, though neither have a clue why. Can she get back to 2018? They don't know that either, and together they begin to craft a life together, all the while trying to break the time travel curse and avoid falling in love.
     
    As Jessica grapples with practical (what is and how does one put on a farthingale?) and emotional (how to risk your heart when everything might disappear in an instant?) aspects of adapting to Elizabethan London, she must try to solve the mystery of the other Jessicas. More importantly, she must figure out how to get home without suffering from the broken heart she knows she can't avoid.
     
    Despite being thwarted at every turn, Jessica manages to navigate her new world and her old one and save not only herself but Will Shakespeare and his legacy.
