[HIATUS] It is one thing to find out that your long-term boyfriend has been cheating on you with your best friend, but it's another to wake up and find yourself in a stranger's bed.

After suffering heartbreak and watching the Shakespearean tragedy Romeo and Juliet, 21st-century woman Amanda Brown is transported back to the Elizabethan era. She wakes up in the year 1595 and finds herself in the body of Joan Shakespeare, the younger sister of the one and only William Shakespeare.

In the process of figuring out a way to return to the future, she bonds with her newfound brother and finds a place to call home in early modern history, all the while being stuck in a dilemma of choosing between stealing the happy life of the real Joan Shakespeare and returning to her unhappy life.

***
[Open Novella Contest 2021] Prompt #46: It's a Saturday night, and you have no plans to go on a date.

The next morning, you find that it's the late 16th century, the time when Shakespeare was still writing the play, and you spot the incomplete manuscript of 'Romeo and Juliet'.

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. *This story is a standalone title in the Haverston Family series.
