(Completed) True love blossoms in adversity. Zara Kings just didn't expect it to happen with her favorite teacher. ... All throughout high school, Zara Kings only ever had one friend - her substitute teacher, Mr. Hugh Jackman. None of her peers ever gave her the time of day. She was too weird. Too awkward. However, Mr. Jackman saw straight through that when he became the permanent substitute in her P.E. class. He saw her for who she was - a mature and intelligent girl with academic goals she never shared with anyone. Not until him. Hugh took on the mantle of becoming her mentor. He encouraged her, supported her every endeavor, and had faith she would accomplish her goals and so much more. But, that was all it was - a purely platonic and professional relationship. And once she graduated, of course, they lost touch. Now, 10 years later, they unexpectedly reconnect at an entrepreneur convention. Except this time, Zara and Hugh are no longer student and teacher. They're both adults, and their past dynamic shifts into new territory. They must learn to navigate these new feelings and attraction, or surrender to the fear of what others might think when they learn of how they met. If only it was that simple, because no matter what they do, they somehow always find their way right back to each other.

(Complete) A possible future tethered by the hands of a watch that can't be controlled. ... Kinsley Hale's grandpa has an obsession with clocks - analog, cuckoo, pendulum. If you can name it, odds are he has it. For his 80th birthday, Kinsley wants to get him something special. Something one of a kind. So, she visits an antique shop. Nothing screams unique quite like old, dusty collectables, and she comes across a beautiful piece - a wornout leather wristwatch encrusted with deep blue stones. It's perfect. Until she finds herself unexpectedly transported from present day New York to Australia in 1994. Thrown completely off guard by dial-up internet, grunge music, and the rise of digital media, she struggles to navigate an era where a young Hugh Jackman has yet to experience fame. Fascinated with his raw talent and magnetic charm, Kinsley finds herself falling for him as she tries to figure out a way back home without changing what happens in the future. Even small actions in the past could alter the course of history, and if she can't keep her emotions in check, she's going to jeopardize everything Hugh is working towards. That leaves her with a heart-wrenching decision when she learns the truth behind the watch. She has to choose between saying goodbye to the man she loves or destroying his dreams.
