The novel centers on Magnolia Brown, who appears to be an ordinary eighteen-year-old high school athlete—except she is actually a time traveler stranded fifty years away from her native era. Trapped in a new reality where time travel is punishable by death, Magnolia finds herself caught between two brothers: a golden-boy high school sweetheart and his hardened, brooding brother, Ramsey, who is sworn to hunt down time travelers like her. Forced into close proximity with her sworn enemy, Magnolia must navigate an intense enemies-to-lovers dynamic with Ramsey—who acts as both her deadly threat and fierce protector—while trying to uncover deep family secrets before her true identity leads to her demise.

“An exciting, high-heat evolution for Tessa Bailey that masterfully fuses time-travel danger with her signature explosive chemistry.”

The Book Guide® Editor

Bailey delivers a fast-paced, angst-ridden ride filled with intense heat, moral dilemmas, and surprising twists. While the high-concept worldbuilding takes a backseat to the electric character drama, Bailey keeps the story grounded through raw emotion and irresistible tension. Fans of sci-fi romance, time-travel tropes, and forbidden love triangles will be glued to every page until the explosive conclusion.
