Sara May Walters is a 19-year-old aspiring scientist who, blinded by passion and affection, attempts to create the world's first ever time machine in her garage in Stoke Newington and dedicates her time fully to the realization of the former ambitions of her grandfather, Cassidy Roy Walters, and latter her own - as she grew up watching him work and was inevitably impacted by his drive. When Cassidy is diagnosed with cancer and finds himself unable to keep up with the project, Sara takes up his role completely and decides to make the machine work in honour of her beloved relative, whom she regarded as a professor, a parent and a best friend.

On the 30th of January, she is accidentally transported to the middle of Victorian London - the year of 1879 - where, in the midst of a feast, she meets her only chance of ever coming back to the present time, a young man named Harry Styles, a French socialite who has himself an untold story to tell. For the following months, Sara must focus on starting everything all over again so she can come back - but when love begins to become a prominent part of her life, Sara must rethink of her priorities.
The colliding of the boldest of two completely different worlds - and how this collision creates, by itself, a new faraway world, not quite present and not quite past, a place not even time can touch. A space where the names of love and hope remain forever in history, engraved in words of undying memory. A depiction of love for what it cannot be - a fight against the only thing that cannot be fought: time - this story shows that trying to align the stars can only break them further apart.

Harry is used to all the attention, the fans, the constant movement- and he's comfortable with his routine- all until he finds out that Elizabeth, Louis's little sister, is accompanying them on their world tour for this year. At first, Liz is just a part of the crew- nothing else to him. She comes with them to all their promotional events- is practically a part of the band, helps backstage- the usual.

𝐄𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐡 𝐓𝐨𝐦𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐧 is 23, and while she's not exactly new to the limelight, she's not used to it either. Yes, being Louis's sister meant having to answer some impromptu questions anytime by the paparazzi, but this- going on tour with her brother's band- It was different. She wasn't used to having ALL the attention on her and the people around her, at least not 24/7. On tour, after a while, she finds herself getting used to everything- the fans, the press, and most importantly- Harry Styles. Her brother's best friend is an unpredictable, charming man with gorgeous green eyes, and a smile that could light up the whole sky. Growing up, she's only seen Harry as the guy who hangs out with her older brother- coming regularly to their place for dinner, band practices in the basement- the usual. However on tour, she finds her feelings for Harry growing- she didn't just see him as Louis's bandmate and his best friend anymore. "𝕴'𝖒 𝖍𝖆𝖑𝖋 𝖆 𝖍𝖊𝖆𝖗𝖙 𝖜𝖎𝖙𝖍𝖔𝖚𝖙 𝖞𝖔𝖚"

Harry Edward Styles, the Prince of European Country Astoria, is about to be ascended to the throne. It is a huge milestone, as well as an anxiety-inducing one. In addition to that, he is also required to marry a woman who has been assigned to him. The last thing he wants is a wife chosen for him, but with his family name at stake and expectations pressing in from all sides, refusal is not an option. A few days prior of his crowning to be king, a handful of drinks and a chance encounter with a fiery, mysterious woman leads to an unforgettable night-one he has no intention of repeating. It's just something to get the nerves relieved. Nothing could go awful, or at least he thinks that. Rosemary Torres has always found comfort in the pages of novels and quiet solitude, she's content with her life in the small Sicilian town she calls home. But that all changes the moment her mother sits her down with two other unknown people, revealing an unthinkable truth-she's about to be part of an arranged marriage. The day arrives where she meets her future husband, only to realize that he looks quite familiar. Harry stands still on the staircase as he makes eye contact with no other than the woman he shared one of his most pleasurable nights with. As they try to move past their awkward encounter and learn to trust each other, Harry and Rosemary find themselves caught between their growing attraction and the expectations of Astoria. Will they give in to the sparks that fly between them, or will they fight the inevitable pull of fate?
