One moment, Emma Scott is in her college room in 2015, and the next she's in 1921 falling in love with an ex-soldier with a charming smile and a secret...
Emma's an old hand at time travel: the first time she was pulled backwards she was ten years old. She can sense the memories that stone, fabric and wood have soaked up: usually she just sees them, but sometimes she ends up living them. She knows the drill: (1) avoid getting pulled backwards in the first place; (2) avoid the object that's pulled you backwards; (3) prevent the memory that imprints on the object, or, if all that fails, (4) wait it out until you're back in the right time.
The problem is that the object was an old ring that her Granny Alice bequeathed to her, and Emma last saw it on the finger of her great grandmother, fleeing into a crowded London street. Now Emma is trying to find the ring and go back to her own time, but her great grandmother has vanished, and meanwhile there's Charlie Lawrence who's making Emma wonder if she even wants to go back at all...

When Ivy opens it, she doesn't just read the story-she falls into it. She wakes in a world of glittering society balls and ruthless gossip columns, dressed in men's tailored trousers instead of a gown, forced to pass as an exotic foreign guest to explain away her every mistake. And at the heart of it all is Lady Violet Vale: society's flawless debutante, duty-bound to marry well, but hiding a reckless hunger in her eyes. Their connection is instant, electric, and entirely forbidden. In secret gardens and candlelit rooms, they trade confessions meant to stay buried, and risk touches that could destroy them both. Because love this improper is never safe-and Ivy will have to decide if she's willing to pay the price for the one thing she's always wanted: a love that dares everything.Complete

Unassailable: The professor.
This is a StudentxTeacher novel!! Un·as·sail·a·ble Adjetive: unable to be attacked, questioned, or defeated. If I could categorize our relationship in one word, it'd be un·as·sail·a·ble. Of course due to the irony of the meaning itself. We were something dangerously unmoral, could we be questioned? Yes. Attacked? Of course. Defeated? Hell no. No one could break our magnetism. Our perfectly forbidden dalliance. It was exquisite, if you ask me. But every choice we make has its own repercussions, right? Doctor Vennberg is a thirty-five year old prestigious surgeon, being one of the greatest physicians there is. This year he tried doing something different and put a partial pause to his work at the hospital to teach at Cooley's university-one of the best colleges on science faculty. He's strict, arrogant, incredibly intelligent and annoyingly handsome. Now insert Amalia Knox, a 21 year old adventurous, beautiful and immensely smart first year medicine student. What will happen when they cross paths? There's a million reasons why they shouldn't be together, but what if the desire is stronger? What happens when they find themselves in a one way road, not being able to turn back?Complete

With an inkling for adventure, they enter, only to emerge in a world straight out of a fantasy novel, a country called Alysia.

The road home would be more than just a yellow brick road traversed in ruby slippers; in order to survive, they will have to grow up- in more ways than just one.
