21st Century...
Linda - a perfectionist, know-it-all, and self-made life coach - just watched her carefully curated world collapse. Her husband. Her best friend. Caught in a very compromising position. All her goals, her five-year plan, her so-called "perfect" life? Gone.
So for the first time ever, Linda goes completely off script.
And the universe takes that personally.
19th Century...
She wakes up in another century, in another body - Lady Belinda Westworth, daughter of an Earl - where the rules are strict, the gowns tighter, and second chances rare. But this time, Linda is determined to take control.
Until she realizes... she's facing the same betrayal all over again.
Only worse: the one man who once loved her unconditionally in the 21st century - now doesn't even see her.
And the one thing she came here to fix... may not want to be fixed.

Foggy Avenues | UNEDITED DRAFT
(THIS IS THE ORIGINAL DRAFT, MISSING FUNDAMENTAL EDITS IN THE SOLD FINAL) Des Flores can't hear people's thoughts if they take place presently. She can't predict what somebody is going to say or do seconds before they act. She can see memories and memories only. When she was thirteen, she discovered that it wasn't just her imagination answering questions about people. She could see what traumas manufactured shitty characteristics in everyone she met, which made leveling with people simpler. But it made all interactions exhausting. Her mind skipped to the three-month-mark where every ounce of childhood baggage was already known. She knew the middle-aged stranger in the minivan honked because an incomplete stop is what took his daughter from him, years before. She knew the cashier at the dollar store complimented her choice of nail polish because her wife wore it in high school. And she knew that if people knew of her gift, they'd avoid her. Having secrets was hardly an option. Everything that once was would be invaded by her inexplicit key to anyone's mind. _ Dessie threw everything she owned into her chipped, blue SUV and moved to Port Angeles for the rain and for the peace of mind. For the space to ask questions, but instead, there were too many answers.Complete
Loving Through The Darkness

To be wanted for who she is, not who she's expected to be. He inherited empires. She inherited emptiness. And when fate ties them together, love doesn't enter gently- It cracks the walls, shakes the ground, and demands to be felt. Loving Through Your Darkness Two hearts. One lie. And a love story neither of them believed they deserved.Complete
