Back In time autorstwa 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.

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.

Sebastian Weatherly harbors a secret that could thwart his carefully constructed bachelorhood. Indiscriminate rake, scoundrel and downright rogue, he has had to endure Emily Weatherly's presence for as long as he could remember. Now that she intends to make a respectable match, which he knows cannot ever be him as he is not respectable, he can hardly ignore the bitter jealousy residing in his heart as he is forced to watch Emily courted by various beaus.
