(CURRENTLY REWRITING THE NOVEL.)

In the 16th century---a time rife with witches, pirates and the belief of fairies---Princess Dorothy's father, His Majesty, falls victim to assassination at the hands of her "beloved" fiancé. Forced to flee, she seeks refuge in a clandestine hamlet, a tiny village nestled in the most terrifying forest one has ever seen. Yet, scarcely a week passes and it is raided and destroyed by bitter and felonious pirates. That's what everybody thinks they are, including the princess. So, it comes as a shock when she finds herself falling head over heels for Bloody Elspeth, or rather, the formidable Captain Bloodveil of the feared Rancid Ghost.

Before any confessions were able to be confessed, an eerie fog descended over the village, lingering without respite. Confusion ensues for the princess, not merely due to the fog's opacity, but the befuddlement that grips all minds. They might not have noticed, but she did. They were in an inescapable time loop. And now, the princess has a new quest: to unravel the village's secrets, break the time loop's curse, and perhaps, in the process, find a way to reclaim her kingdom.

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.
