"Would it all be worth it if she 'saves the world?'"

What would you do if you woke-up one day in an unfamiliar world? What if you kept stumbling - Would you pick yourself back up?

Having already lived a childhood bouncing from home to home in Brooklyn, our reluctant heroine - Amelia La Graine - has her life turned upside down and inside-out when she travels back in time to the era of the American Industrial Revolution (circa 1820). There, she must discover why she was sent back and what she must do to go home.
  
Will one woman, stuck in the past, change the future of a young and budding country? 

The first book in the "Combustion" trilogy weaves a tangled tale of heroism, deceit, danger, and manipulation - all while Amelia tries finding herself in an epoch that was never meant to be hers.

The Way We Burn by daisydanielle33

The sparks are instant. A night, a look and a dozen flirty words. I think I've met my match... Until I learn she's my boss's daughter. This can't happen. I can't let it. But every time I look into Gigi's ice-blue eyes, my resolve weakens. Maybe just once... one night, one taste and I'll get her out of my system... But once is never enough and Gigi lights a fire I cannot put out no matter how reckless it may be. This could bring everything down in flames. Including us. **This story includes a daughter dealing with a parent fighting cancer. Sickness is mentioned often**

Travel Through Time by MiaEvergreen

A classic plot line. You know the story: When James Potter steals a time turner from his dad, Harry Potter's office, and breaks it, he send himself, Lily, Albus, Victorie, Rose and Hugo back to 1995. With the next generation meeting their young parents and all the people who died, what will happen? Just how exactly does their family try and get the time travelers back?A Next Generation Time Travel Story. Okay. So yeah, classic story. But with a twist. What if someone remembered the trip? DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING! Everything is the wonderful J. K. Rowling, except for the plot. It's a overused plot line, but still good for a read and laugh.

STALKER by Tallboysmith

I've re-written and changed this blurb at least 8 times. This is my favourite story, it was a labour of love. It's hard story to categorize, to slot into one particular genre. Yes, it is a time travel story, a BL romance, history and magic thrown in to make things more interesting. The ML grows on you, even the annoying puff of smoke becomes endearing. It is written as a journal, so the ML only knows what you know as he writes each chapter. Tim never foresaw where the events were leading him....so far from home, in place and time. He never knew he could live such a BIG life. Never dreamt that he always had one foot in today and the other in...eternity. So just start reading and see where it takes you. Smithy.

Burning Wild by dawn_norwell

"Jake couldn't stop his eyes from dropping to my body. His gaze lingered on my curves, his face thirsting for something more than the spilled coffee. The way his eyes fumed made me squirm with longing. It was all I could do not to reach out and touch his rippling bicep, to pull him closer to me. I barely knew this man, but the way his face smoldered as he stared at me made me feel sexy for the first time in my life. It ignited a desire in me and awakened a sexual goddess who had been suppressed for a long time. I wasn't a promiscuous woman, but if Jake Lucero had asked me to go home with him at that moment, I would have jumped in his car without question." ____________________________________ Catalina De la Rosa's world is upended when she falls victim to the unpredictable California wildfires. She loses everything in the raging inferno- her home, her invaluable possessions, even a bit of the person she was before the traumatic experience. When Cat meets Jake Lucero, the firefighter who risked everything to save her life, she slowly starts to find herself again. Jake is sullen and brooding, mysterious and closed off, but he stirs something in Cat that she had long ago repressed. Cat is acutely aware of the escalating chemistry forming between them, but she is hesitant to pursue her feelings for fear of losing herself again. Cat soon discovers that Jake is as wild as the fires that forever altered her life. His dark secrets and risqué past threaten to destroy everything she has built. She knows that she should keep her distance, but she can't seem to stay away. Though it is dangerous to play with fire, the smoldering connection between her and Jake keeps Cat coming back for more. Now, her life will never be the same. © Dawn Norwell ___________________________________________ *3rd place winner in the Winter Rose Awards #1 in Young Adult #1 in Starcrossed Lovers #1 in Firefightter #6 in Adult #3 in Powerful Women #3 in Love and Loss

Refuge In The Shadows by EmilyLuong

Raised as Hunters in a hidden counterinsurgency society in the late nineteenth century, nineteen year old Welsh twins Carys and Cadeyrn Llewelyn have led brutal, unforgiving lives filled with heartbreak and pain. As the only female Hunter, Carys has proven her place among the males, but not without a terrible price. And while Carys is as self-sacrificing as ever, it's up to Cadeyrn to make sure he's there to pick up the pieces. When a mysterious Hunter from London beckons the twins and their friends to the city to eliminate a target, self discoveries are made, relationships are tested, and wounds are reopened. _____ "Cadeyrn, everything we have been through, everything we have sacrificed has come down to this moment. Steamboats and trains make travel exponentially faster. Industry has become the crown jewel of the country. Stringent moral codes are disintegrating. Everything that we used to take for granted has been distorted. Amidst all of this revolution, I see women restlessly gazing out their windows. They want a share of this exciting, new world. I have been privileged to have access to it and I do not want to be the only one...but I do not know if I am the right person to bring about this change," Carys whispered dejectedly. Cadeyrn sat on Carys's bed and enveloped her in a brotherly embrace. "Do not say such things about yourself. You are as strong and determined as Mam was." Carys gave Cadeyrn a watery smile and he returned to his own bed. Carys turned her body around so that she was facing the window. The curtains were pulled aside so she could see the stars littering the night sky. The gentle slopes of the hills stretched as far as the eye could see and the darkened shadow of the village was a speck off in the distance. At this breathtaking sight, Carys finally let the tears fall. Each teardrop held her fears, her anger, and her sadness. Why would one need to find refuge in the shadows if there is nothing to hide? Only in a perfect world.

Awakening - The Last Science #1 by Etzoli

No one ever knows the whole story... Nestled deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, something is emerging. Kept in absolute secrecy, it seeps into a fading town, quietly shared from person to person. For Alden Bensen, a directionless high school graduate, this discovery could mean an escape from his empty existence. To Rachel DuValle, perpetually underestimated and dismissed by the world, magic represents a chance to become something much greater than herself. In the face of an unsuspecting world, their decisions shape the growth of a budding society discovering untold power. This potent force offers anyone the power to change humanity forever - or send it cascading into swift and total annihilation. ----- The Last Science is an ongoing science-fiction / low-fantasy web novel series.

Morph [EDITING] || Wattys 2017 Winner by hana_andromeda

"They took my sister. Now I'm taking her back." Seventeen years ago, humans started developing supernatural abilities. Comic books came true as the first person flew, created fire, mind-read. The world entered a new age where people who could do special things were revered and admired. That all changed when one man lost control of his power and unleashed a huge explosion in a crowded shopping centre, killing over a thousand others. A series of fights involving superhumans broke out, resulting in the destruction of multiple cities and hundreds upon hundreds of further lives lost. The government began hunting down those extraordinary people with the assistance of a specialised unit: trained in recognising different abilities. Suddenly powers became something scary, uncontrollable and dangerous, that nobody wanted to own up to having. Seventeen years after the Explosion, Amelie Rose Carmichael is the daughter of the man who is in charge of hunting down and imprisoning these people. She enjoys a comfortable life, protected from any threats against her. But when Amelie develops an ability without warning, she must try to keep it hidden from her family, her friends, and above all her father. Can she keep a secret? Will she use her powers to help the rebel organisation that has approached her? And what secrets are the people around her hiding?
