When Detective Anet Peters becomes the prime target of the biggest crime family, she's left with nowhere to run.

Her underestimated genius-of-a-college-professor has discovered the best place to hide her is not "where" but "when"! Still in the prototype stages, Anet is sent through a portal to the past. Not knowing "when" it would send her, but that anywhere in the past had to be safer than the present. 

Anet walks into the glitz and glam of the Roaring Twenties! Joining in the fun with the bright young things, she suddenly finds herself closer to the secrets of the Maggio crime family than she'd ever been before. 

How deep is she willing to go? How personal is she willing to get? And how worth it is it if she can't get back to her time?

Weekly updates (Wednesdays/Thursdays) °•○•°•○•° Once they all quieted down, the old woman spoke to Siena and James. "Let us direct this argument a little more towards philosophy. Think of our many worlds, as possible worlds. Possible fictional worlds, existing in those books you love to read. What if every single one of those imaginary worlds is real? And what if you two, working together, might have a chance to change them? To create happier lives for many, many unfortunate and tragic characters? It would not change the books for the readers in our world, you don't have to worry about that. You would only make their lives better in their own universes." °•○•°•○•° Siena, a young Italian teacher with a dream of working in the Uffizi Gallery. James, a Scottish journalist and inventor working on his book about the Lochness Monster. They have nothing in common, nothing apart from their love of books. However, once they are brought together by the mysterious Bibliophile Society, they find it very hard to stay apart. °•○•°•○•° "So many worlds, so much to do... " James mumbled distractedly as he and Siena finally followed George towards the front door. "...so little done, such things to be. That's Alfred, Lord Tennyson," Siena finished for him as George opened the front door for them. °•○•°•○•° This is a contemporary, urban fantasy romance that will transport you into the worlds of books (those in public domain, for copyright reasons).
