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

Must Love Breeches, A Time Travel Romance (Excerpt) by AngelaQuarles

She's finally met the man of her dreams-too bad he lives in a different century! A devoted history buff finds the re-enactment of a pre-Victorian ball in London a bit boring...until a mysterious artifact sweeps her back in time to the real event, and into the arms of a compelling British lord. Isabelle Rochon can't believe it when she finds herself in the reality of 1830's London high society. She's thrilled to witness events and people she's studied. But she may also have to survive without modern tools or career-unless she can find a way to return to her time. And then there's Viscount Lord Montagu, a man whose embrace curls her toes, but who has a dangerous agenda of his own. Lord Phineas Montagu is on a mission to avenge his sister, and he'll stop at nothing, including convincing an alluring stranger to pose as his respectable fiancé. He's happy to repay her by helping her search for her stolen calling card case that brought her back in time. But he doesn't bargain for the lady being his intellectual match-or for the irresistible attraction that flames between them. They're both certain they know what they want, but as passion flares, Phineas must keep both himself and Isabella safe from unseen opponents, and she must choose when and where her heart belongs. Can they ever be together for good? Don't miss the time travel romance USA Today called "a delicious twist on historical drama and romance."

Back In time by creammeier

"Well then, there must be a reason why you aren't able to keep your eyes off me in the market today, Miss Wellesley." He whispered in my ear, sending shivers down my back. "Don't flatter yourself," I took a step back, "it's just that you're the first person I think the word 'ugly' stands for." "Deny all you want, sweetheart." He inched closer and leaned into my ear, "but your face says it all." ___________________ Are you aware of how people lived in the 1800s? Well, I for one, do not. But little did I expect myself to be hurled back in time, to a world where I will have an experience of a lifetime. Meet Ava Winters, a normal and mundane girl who got her heart broken when she stumbled upon her cheating boyfriend with the school's most popular girl. Heartbroken, she shuts herself from the world, only to be left bitter and desolate. But what happens when she finds herself propelled into the Victorian Era? What were the adventures that lay before her? What will she do if she finds herself falling for the big-headed jerk, Nicholas Alexander Clayton? Book 2 is out! Disclaimer: This story has been tweaked from from the original plot that I had in mind. Also, it is purely fictional. I am not an expert in the study of the Victorian Era nor am I aware of the things and activities that people do in those days.

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?
