The Hours We Keep

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.
