1950

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.
