Malia Scott has always lived under the gilded weight of perfection. Born into a wealthy family with high expectations and flawless older twins to measure against, she's mastered the art of smiling through disappointment, even her own. But behind closed doors, her parents' endless expectations have left her restless, searching for a life that feels like her own. When her best friend convinces her to apply for NASA's groundbreaking new Time Travel Program, Malia never expects to be chosen. Yet suddenly, she's whisked away from the weight of her family's world and thrust into one with stakes far higher than she's ever imagined along with a chance to rewrite history. Her mission is precise and perilous: travel back to 1950 and prevent a covert nuclear research project authorized by President Truman, a decision that will fracture global stability for decades to come. But Malia's task takes an unexpected turn when she crosses paths with Andrea Rivera, America's New Sweetheart. Andrea is everything the public wants her to be: beautiful, witty, and untouchable. Privately, she's a woman suffocated by fame and forced to hide her true self in a world that would never accept her. Beloved actress, dazzling singer, and a cultural icon, Andrea is the face of glamour in the postwar era. Yet beneath the sequins and camera flashes, she hides truths that could ruin her career, and her life. Andrea doesn't know her choices hold power over the very future Malia has come to protect. And Malia, caught between the urgency of her mission and the pull of a woman she can't ignore, finds herself questioning the limits of duty, identity, and the price of rewriting history.

2019 WATTY AWARD WINNER | TO BE PUBLISHED BY 'W BY WATTPAD' IN FALL 2024 Jessie is a twenty first century kinda gal stuck in the Regency Era. Armed with a new university degree and a plane ticket to Paris, the plan was to celebrate graduation in the City of Love, kissing as many drunk French girls (or boys, she's not picky) as she can. Only, she never makes it. Mid-Atlantic, a mysterious accident sends Jessie hurtling to what should be a watery grave. Rescued from the ocean, Jessie is lucky to be alive. Only problem? The crew of the ship she's on is convinced it's a sailing vessel that just narrowly missed out on participating in the Battle of Trafalgar. Stuck in Regency-era England, Jessie is left with no choice but to enter into the services of as a maid and companion in return for what shelter her new employer can provide, and resign herself to a life of quiet servitude and forever hiding her sexuality. What she didn't count on was that her new boss would be Margaret Goodenough - the world famous authoress whose yet-to-be-completed novel was the first lesbian kiss in the history of British Literature, and a clever woman. Clever enough to know her new servant has a secret. Now Jessie is caught. Margaret's own perception of her place in society is transforming, the text of her novel is slowly changing, and Margaret herself is finally unafraid to embrace her own Sapphic desires. Margaret - and her main characters - are turning into irresistibly headstrong and modern women. Jessie must tread the tenuous line between finding her own happiness in a world where she is alone, and accidentally changing the course of history. Should Jessie suppress the manuscript, or is her duty to the woman she's learning to love? What is a twenty first century gal to do? * Cover Photo: Jenn LeBlanc & Getty Images Original Cover by: @RodneyVSmith
