My father signed away my name, my freedom, and my future with one contract. A train carried me west to Harlen-a husband I'd never met, a man who wants an heir to inherit his land and a wife to keep his house. But the West is full of strangers. One of them isn't like the rest. Now every choice splits me in two-between the life I was forced to uphold and the pull I never expected to feel. Out here, a name can be shed, a promise broken, a woman remade. The question is... will I belong to Harlen's land, or chase the one thing I was never meant to have? 🥇 WESTERN ROMANCE 🥇OLDWEST ꧁ Like the dusty-trail romance of No Longer Carver?

Not the rather non-existent figure from his original time, but the radiant woman he seemed to have loved in 1912, in a forgotten past he's desperate to remember. Irene, the girl with summer-sky eyes. Their story becomes trapped within the lament of an ordinary yet magically potent hourglass, set against the tragic voyage of the majestic and the "unsinkable" Titanic, hurtling towards its inevitable, icy fate. Taehyung finds himself torn between his fervent desires - to miraculously alter history as if such a feat were possible or to save the lives of his loved ones who are now victims of his unexpected temporal displacement. All the while, he faces unexpected adversaries and finds his own existence in time profoundly challenged. It is amidst this chaos that Taehyung begins to realize that perhaps everything happens for a predetermined reason, and that, perhaps, for the sake of that very reason, he found himself staring into Irene's strikingly breathtaking eyes - the singular purpose for which he was gifted this extraordinary rebirth. ── .✦── .✦── .✦── .✦── .✦── .✦── .✦── .✦ Central Prompts: A group of people wake up with no memory and find themselves adrift on an old steam passenger liner.
