Porcelain and Smoke

Berlin, 1937.
No war yet-just the kind of silence that feels like it's holding its breath.

Clothilde von Schütz wakes up in a life that isn't hers.
A strange locket, a flash of light, and suddenly the twenty-first-century history student from Berlin is trapped in the body of her ancestor-a young aristocrat and the newly-wed wife of SS General Leonidas von Woyrsch.

There's only one problem: this marriage is as cold as the marble floors of their mansion.
No affection. No touch. No warmth.
Leonidas runs his world-and his emotions-with military precision. Clothilde, pretending to be the perfect wife, is stuck between the ghosts of a past she doesn't understand and the future that depends on her not messing it up.

But the more she lives inside this porcelain existence, the more cracks appear in the glassy calm.
Leonidas is not the monster history painted him to be-and she is not the obedient woman this time expects. Between cigarette smoke and secret glances, she starts to see the man behind the uniform. And that's the most dangerous discovery of all.

Because if history says they must fall in love, then love might be the only thing that can destroy them both.
