What happens when you get into a car crash and wake up in the wrong century? 

For Emma Hastings, it's not as exciting as it probably sounds. Jilted at the altar by her superstar fiance, Emma's taxi crashes on the way to meet her best friend and she finds herself waking up in 19th century London. She starts living as Lady Emmaline Darlington and secretly takes up employment under the Duke of Davenport who may not be as conventional as a gentleman should be.

Armed with only her wits, Emma lives the life of a lady by day and runs dangerous errands for a gorgeous Duke at night while rediscovering old family secrets that may just alter everything she knew about herself.All Rights Reserved

Sincerely Yours by tehyayoung

In 1800s England, a well-meaning but selfish young woman will do anything to avoid matrimony to the county's finest suitors and to justly prove she doesn't need a husband to find her way in society. Even under the peril of her uncle losing his property and business to debt. In all but two months, she must prove to her family she's more than capable without a husband and can, in fact, exceed society's expectations of the female sex. But what woman can write what she hardly knows of the world, and its secrets? And most of all, how far is she willing to prove herself toward society and the Lord? At what cost for love? Maxmillian Knightley has returned from university in London, now facing the looming title of marquis. With that title comes responsibility to interact with those he despises most, and with which he must fight for his inheritance. But how far will he go in order to grow favor in the scrutiny of society and his stiff-neck father? He may be everything a woman of the ton looks for in a husband - titled, wealthy, and cheek bones that can draw in any woman - but he is in no mood to humor eligible women by participating in all things reformed. The question is: how far will he go to do everything against his own sensibility and judgment? For inheritance ... or for loyalty and love? The only common enlightenment between two entirely different sexes? A fondness for penmanship and our humorous Lord who writes the very novelty of life itself. And what happens if proving oneself leads to something quite worse? When it comes to love, making the right choices, these two are their own worst enemies.

A Journey Through Time by spark_your_curiosity

What should one do when they find themselves suddenly in 1899? This was certainly not a question Aria ever thought she would ask herself-not yesterday, not today, and certainly not on the 2nd of October 1899. After all, she is just a junior journalist at an independent media company with dreams and passions, living a simple life. She is determined to make a difference by telling people's stories and giving a voice to the voiceless. What she truly seeks is normalcy and happiness, hoping to move past the trauma that has haunted her for the last ten years. But everything changes when she purchases an antique silver box from a mysterious stranger who speaks of fate. Ignoring her warnings, Aria wakes up overnight as a 21-year-old aristocratic lady in a world where societal norms confine women to strict codes of behavior. With her modern sensibilities clashing against the rigid expectations of 1899, she meets historical figures she had only heard about in her father's history lectures, making her question the nature of her new reality. As she navigates her new life, Aria must contend with a pestering mother eager to see her married off, a bickering elder brother who constantly challenges her, and a pair of ocean-blue eyes she just can't seem to look away from. Torn between two worlds, Aria must confront questions of destiny, family, and love. Will she fight to return to the life she once knew, or will she embrace the possibilities of a life she never imagined?

"So, let me get this straight. You stomped all over his paperwork?" She started. "Not intentionally, but yes," I confirmed it. "Threw a drink in his face?" She added. "Expensive red wine." I described. "Rammed into his car with yours deliberately?" she counted on her third finger. "Um...I'm not proud of that one," I said cringing. "And called him offensive names?" She ended the list and I winced. "Twice." I specified. "And you're still alive?" She blinked, looking genuinely surprised. "Geez, don't be dramatic or anything..." I frowned at her hyperbolic statement. "Maybe he's keeping you around to get revenge." She suggested. Possible. I wouldn't put it past him. "I didn't know alright!" I exclaimed.

The Time-Traveller's Choice by sennalily

One moment, Emma Scott is in her college room in 2015, and the next she's in 1921 falling in love with an ex-soldier with a charming smile and a secret... Emma's an old hand at time travel: the first time she was pulled backwards she was ten years old. She can sense the memories that stone, fabric and wood have soaked up: usually she just sees them, but sometimes she ends up living them. She knows the drill: (1) avoid getting pulled backwards in the first place; (2) avoid the object that's pulled you backwards; (3) prevent the memory that imprints on the object, or, if all that fails, (4) wait it out until you're back in the right time. The problem is that the object was an old ring that her Granny Alice bequeathed to her, and Emma last saw it on the finger of her great grandmother, fleeing into a crowded London street. Now Emma is trying to find the ring and go back to her own time, but her great grandmother has vanished, and meanwhile there's Charlie Lawrence who's making Emma wonder if she even wants to go back at all...
