"Lost in Time" follows the journey of a young, nameless girl from the Heian period (800 AD) in Japan, who is mysteriously transported to the modern world of 2024. Displaced from everything she knows, she must navigate the complexities of modern society, struggling to understand technology, culture, and the fast-paced nature of the world around her. With the help of a kind-hearted university student, Riku, she begins to adapt while also yearning for the familiar simplicity of her old life.
Caught between two worlds, she discovers that the artifact that transported her may hold the key to returning home, but at the cost of the new life she's starting to build. As she battles with her identity and the choices before her, she must decide whether to return to her past or embrace the future, forging a new path for herself in a world that is nothing like the one she once knew.
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.
