> Some clocks don't just tell time-they take you through it.
Seventeen-year-old Calla Wynne never believed in destiny. She spent her life fixing broken things in her grandfather's clock shop-until she discovers an ancient pocket watch engraved with her name and a date from the 1800s.
When she winds it, Calla is thrown over a hundred years into the past-and right into the path of Elias Thorne, a brilliant inventor on the run for a crime he didn't commit.
Trapped in a world of corsets, candlelight, and conspiracy, Calla must uncover the truth behind the timepiece, outrun those who want to control it, and make an impossible choice: return home... or stay and risk everything for a boy out of time.
Love may be timeless. But time doesn't wait for anyone.

The Years Between Us
Adelaide Monroe thought heartbreak would be the end of her story. It turns out, it's only the beginning. When her longtime boyfriend ends things just before graduation, Adelaide retreats to her grandmother's house-an old place filled with creaking floors, family secrets, and a silver locket . But when grief cracks her open, the locket listens. One night, she falls asleep clutching it... and wakes in the 1700s. There, she meets Nathaniel Hale-charming, gentle, and far too kind for a dream. Yet the more real he feels, the less certain Adelaide is that she's dreaming at all. Each time the locket opens, it pulls her somewhere new-and each era brings another boy, another chance, another kind of love. But every return home leaves her a little more haunted by what she's left behind-and the growing realization that the locket isn't just showing her history... it's choosing her path. Caught between past and present, love and loss, Adelaide must decide how much of her heart she's willing to leave across time-and which moment, and which man, she belongs to.

As secrets, power, and desire begin to entangle them, Mia must decide if stepping into his world is worth risking her own... and Jordan must face the truth he's spent a lifetime burying: Love isn't safe.
