By May McGoldrick

Deal Ends: Wed 18th March

A comically offbeat, fish-out-of-water, time travel novel set in Regency England and the21st century Colorado Rockies. Nadine Finley is a Scribe Guardian from the future whomust play ‘un-matchmaker’ to Jane Austen, a British naval officer, and the romance thatjeopardizes literary history. Nadine has made the quantum commute to 1811 to stop Jane Austen from meeting andmarrying Captain Charles Gordon. The two of them share a romantic past, and if Nadinefails in her mission, Jane will never get to London. The fledgling author will never gether first book ready for publication. And if the novel is never readied for the presses,Jane will never go back home and revise the manuscript that will eventuallybecome Pride and Prejudice. In short, disaster.The mission instructions were plain and simple: Jane Austen cannot marry.Except...matters become extremely complicated when the Scribe Guardian’s ownromantic interest unintentionally follows her across the centuries to 1811.Xander Nouri is a tech millionaire who is cheerfully unfamiliar with both history andliterature. He has also forged a life where he is insulated from the non-quantifiableuncertainties of feelings and romance. In fact, the only time he let his guard down wasfor three wildly unexpected days in Las Vegas when he allowed his heart to be fondledand then stomped on by an elusive woman named Nadine. Xander lives in a world ofreason, facts, and data…none of which explain her appearance, dressed in periodclothing, in a coffin a mile from his secluded mountain home.And her claim of time traveling doesn’t exactly compute.It’s not long before sparks once again begin to fly between the former lovers. But Nadineneeds to get back to her mission before literary history is permanently damaged.By the time she’s able to make the quantum leap back in time, Jane Austen and thecaptain have already met again...and romance is brewing. To complicate matters, Xanderhas made the trip, as well. And Xander is the unlikeliest ‘nerd-out-of-water’ ever to land on Regency shores.But that’s where the fun begins...
