Summary

"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.
Available since: 10/20/2024.

    The year is 2045. The world has fallen into chaos, decay, and disrepair. 
    Officials are calling this pattern of severe disruption “The Long Collapse” and it has profoundly affected all aspects of society. Basic supplies are difficult to come by, energy shortages are common, and governments are fractured, fraying, or disbanded entirely. Trust has eroded, hunger often looms, and eruptions of violence seem inevitable. 
    Nonetheless, life goes on for the Pacific Northwest residents of Salmon Springs: children gather in a community schoolhouse, locals form a farmers cooperative to share produce, and a commuter train carries travelers from near and far. 
    But after Salmon Springs College burns to the ground in an unprecedented wildfire, Sasha Fenix prepares her own 20th year Homecoming celebration for her unforgettable friends, Jill, Dugen, and Nate. Each of them have struggled during The Long Collapse in their own way, but each of them are also on overlapping journeys of mourning, reconciliation, and self-discovery. 
    Twenty years after an event that changed their lives forever, four college friends come together as the world is falling apart.
