Phoebe fell asleep in her homeless shelter, sleeping on a mattress that was placed on the floor, with her dad sleeping in the same room as her. One minute, she was falling asleep, another minute she was shot by a man whose identity was hidden, except for a large scar on his arm that held his gun.
But she woke up, after she was shot fatally by the mysterious man. She woke up not as Phoebe, but as Beth, a princess awaiting suitors. She woke up in a king-size bed with marble floor and a silk nightgown, and not her teared old shirt, and baggy pants that didn't fit her.
Once Phoebe, now Beth, she respawned in virtually the opposite world that she once lived in.

Hey! Unfortunately, I can only put this book under one genre, but it does belong with many others than just historical fiction. Enjoy:)
Just when she's decided to leave the Town, Lady Cressida Belverst is forced to marry Lord Calan Haverston, the man who coincidentally knows a way out. Agreeing to marry for all the wrong reasons, can Cressida and Calan find out where their hearts truly belong?
***
It is impossible to leave the Town, but one woman is determined to escape with the help of her betrothed.
Lady Cressida Belverst has always been judged as a walking scandal. Oh, how she tries (on some rare occasions) to be proper! When her parents arrange for her to marry a rich lord, Cressida has had enough. She has to leave the Town because she will not be forced to live with a man she doesn't love. But what happens if the very man she's betrothed to is the only one who can help her get out?
Calan Haverston, the Lord of Easton, takes the risk and helps his betrothed by using his knowledge of the Town's secrets because he is as willing as she to stay free of marriage for reasons completely different. He has dark secrets he cannot share with her, and his life is not one he can likewise open to anyone. But what happens when she leaves after awakening desires he thought he has under control? And what happens when he finds himself longing for her?
Cressida goes to a completely different place, one she has only heard in stories and read in books, with hopes of finding what her heart has always longed for. But love, mystery and secrets will chase her and it will only be a matter of time before she realizes what her heart truly desires.
