2019 WATTY AWARD WINNER | TO BE PUBLISHED BY 'W BY WATTPAD' IN FALL 2024 Jessie is a twenty first century kinda gal stuck in the Regency Era. Armed with a new university degree and a plane ticket to Paris, the plan was to celebrate graduation in the City of Love, kissing as many drunk French girls (or boys, she's not picky) as she can. Only, she never makes it. Mid-Atlantic, a mysterious accident sends Jessie hurtling to what should be a watery grave. Rescued from the ocean, Jessie is lucky to be alive. Only problem? The crew of the ship she's on is convinced it's a sailing vessel that just narrowly missed out on participating in the Battle of Trafalgar. Stuck in Regency-era England, Jessie is left with no choice but to enter into the services of as a maid and companion in return for what shelter her new employer can provide, and resign herself to a life of quiet servitude and forever hiding her sexuality. What she didn't count on was that her new boss would be Margaret Goodenough - the world famous authoress whose yet-to-be-completed novel was the first lesbian kiss in the history of British Literature, and a clever woman. Clever enough to know her new servant has a secret. Now Jessie is caught. Margaret's own perception of her place in society is transforming, the text of her novel is slowly changing, and Margaret herself is finally unafraid to embrace her own Sapphic desires. Margaret - and her main characters - are turning into irresistibly headstrong and modern women. Jessie must tread the tenuous line between finding her own happiness in a world where she is alone, and accidentally changing the course of history. Should Jessie suppress the manuscript, or is her duty to the woman she's learning to love? What is a twenty first century gal to do? * Cover Photo: Jenn LeBlanc & Getty Images Original Cover by: @RodneyVSmith

"Virgin?" She asked with a smug smirk on her face knowing the answer. I blushed, but nodded. "Mhm, and how is such a beautiful girl like you... A virgin?" She questions looking me up and down, "I don't know how to have ya'know, - sex" I told her "Oh - ahh, yeah I see, well have you ever been touched before.. By a girl?" She asked staring right into me, her eyes changed.. Darker? She might've moved closer, but I couldn't tell, I was in a daze, but I let out a stutter "N-no" "Mmmm, well. Has a guy ever touched you -" she moved closer to me and put her hand on my shoulder, and slowly slid her fingers to my chest, "Here?" She smirked as she firmly cupped my right breast. I gasped, I was scared yet felt safe. "So?" She asked waiting for my answer and removed her hand, but slid it back up my neck keeping it there. "N-n-no. No o-one has ever t-touched m-me" I told her. She smirked, and took her hand away. "Well, this shall be fun.. Ayy?" She chuckled with an evil smirk. What happens when just messing around and playing games but things turn upside down? Will they catch feelings for each other? Or will they leave it as lessons? Things could go wrong.. -------------------- ➢Rated :: R ➢Mature only ➢Read at own risk -------------------- **IF YOU DONT LIKE GIRL ON GIRL THINGS, THIS ISNT YOUR BOOK SO EXIT OFF** -------------------- Enjoy!! :)
