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.

A Journey Through Time
What if you woke up one morning... and everything around you belonged to another century? One moment, I was moving through my mundane routine. The next, a mysterious silver box - and a cryptic warning - hurled me through time. All I ever wanted was a simple life: quiet, steady, normal. Instead, I've landed in a world where I hold no power, know no one, and understand nothing about the rules shaping every breath I take. To survive, I have to learn the laws of a world determined to silence me - and find a way home before it's too late, especially with a war on the horizon. But how do you change the course of history when you barely understand how it began? And just when I think things can't get any more complicated, a pair of ocean-blue eyes threatens to rewrite everything I thought I wanted. Can I return to the life I lost? Or will the past - and the man I was never meant to meet - change my future forever? Author's Note: For readers who crave time-travel romance, historical drama, and slow-burn love that keeps you up way past midnight - welcome. You're in the right place.Complete

When their worlds collide, neither of them is ready for the slow, consuming burn that begins to smolder between them. In the hushed corners of the midnight café and stolen glances across rain-soaked city streets, a fragile trust begins to form, built on whispered fears and the simple touch of a hand that says, I see you.

Can you be soft with someone when the world has always told you to be hard? This is their story.
