Adeline Varga is an enigma. 

Arriving with a presence that seems both ethereal and out of place, she leaves more questions than answers in her wake. Time bends strangely around her. She's always a moment too late, a step out of sync, as if she's moving to a rhythm no one else can hear. For Sebastian Holloway, the town's reclusive clockmaker with a secret gift to stop time, Adeline is a puzzle he cannot resist.

Drawn to her by forces he can't explain, Sebastian's fascination soon transforms into something deeper. But the closer he gets, the more reality begins to fray at the edges. Time, his greatest ally and deepest curse, is unraveling and the answers Adeline holds could either save him or destroy everything he thought he knew.

What secrets does she carry? And what price will they both pay to uncover the truth? In this haunting tale of love, mystery, and the fragility of time itself, not everything, or everyone, is as it seems.

What if you woke up one morning... and everything around you belonged to another century? One moment, I was moving through my mundane routine. The next, a mysterious silver box - and a cryptic warning - hurled me through time. All I ever wanted was a simple life: quiet, steady, normal. Instead, I've landed in a world where I hold no power, know no one, and understand nothing about the rules shaping every breath I take. To survive, I have to learn the laws of a world determined to silence me - and find a way home before it's too late, especially with a war on the horizon. But how do you change the course of history when you barely understand how it began? And just when I think things can't get any more complicated, a pair of ocean-blue eyes threatens to rewrite everything I thought I wanted. Can I return to the life I lost? Or will the past - and the man I was never meant to meet - change my future forever? Author's Note: For readers who crave time-travel romance, historical drama, and slow-burn love that keeps you up way past midnight - welcome. You're in the right place.

But Edwin's reckless choices have left him trapped in scandal, forced to marry the girl he accidentally ruined. Now the duty falls on Peter. The girl from the future is nothing like the woman Peter lost. She's reckless, wild, and refuses to obey. She doesn't want this marriage. She doesn't want this kingdom. And she will fight with tricks, lies, and fire to break free-while sparks between her and Peter grow dangerously out of control. He has his promise. She has her rebellion.

"why the fuck did you go on a date with him? he is not even your type!!" he growls. "so what? he is friendly and nice to me" I replied confidently. "NO, HE IS NOT NICE!!! he wants you because you're....beautiful" he said looking directly in my eyes! "Viaan! stop being so annoying...and let me go! he is waiting for me" I said. As I was about to leave, he held my hands and in a millisecond I was pinned to his car. I was shocked by this action of his. He never behaved like this but today he was in different mood. "What a-are you d-doing?" I said. We were so close that our lips were almost touching and then he bends towards my neck and kiss it. I swear that feeling was so amazing... I loved it but I didn't show it on my face, but then he looked at me with his dark brown eyes, and stared at me for a couple of seconds. "If you didn't leave for home right now! I will kiss the fuck out of you, until you become breathless" he said in his deep voice without breaking the eye contact. Honestly that was hot....but this is not the time for this. "And why are you suddenly so interested in my personal life? Are you jealous of Abhay?" I said without looking at him. "Do not try me! I said go home!!" I sensed that he is angry. "Oh yeah? don't try you? what will you do Mr. Raghuvanshi?" I said in a sarcastic way. To which he smirked. and said "don't ask for something you can't handle baby" What did he just say.....Baby? "I'm not your baby". "Are you sure?" he smirked again. Why the hell he's keep doing that. .........
