Their love was a paradox, a tapestry woven from threads of time itself. He, a man from the past, steeped in the traditions and values of a bygone era, his heart yearning for a love that transcended the constraints of his time.
She, a woman from the future, a vision of progress and innovation, her spirit yearning for a connection that transcended the boundaries of her own world.
Their paths crossed in a space where time itself seemed to bend, a realm where the past and future intertwined. Their love was a forbidden dance, a waltz across centuries, a symphony of longing and hope. They met in secret, their encounters a whisper of stolen moments and forbidden touches, their love a shared secret hidden from the eyes of time itself.
Their love was a rebellion against the very fabric of existence, a defiance of the laws of time and space, a testament to the enduring power of the human heart to love across the boundaries of time.
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.
