A tale of time travel, true love, and Jane Austen
New York actress C.J. Welles, a die-hard Jane Austen fan,
is on the verge of landing her dream role: portraying her
idol in a Broadway play. But during her final audition, she
is mysteriously transported to Bath, England, in the year
1801. And Georgian England, with its rigid and unforgiving
social structure and limited hygienic facilities, is not
quite the picturesque costume drama C.J. had always
imagined.
Just as she wishes she could click her heels together and
return to Manhattan, C.J. meets the delightfully eccentric
Lady Dalrymple, a widowed countess who takes C.J. into her
home, introducing her as a poor relation to Georgian
society—including the dashing Earl of Darlington and his
cousin, Jane Austen!
When a crisis develops, C.J.—in a race against time—becomes
torn between two centuries. An attempt to return to her own
era might mean forfeiting her blossoming romance with the
irresistible Darlington and her growing friendship with
Jane Austen, but it’s a risk she must take. And in the
midst of this remarkable series of events, C.J. discovers
something even more startling—a secret from her own past
that may explain how she wound up in Bath in the first
place.
