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.
