Publisher: Little Box Press LLC
Release Date: January 17, 2019
Genre: Clean Time Travel Romance
With university behind him, Lord Gerard Morrow, the Earl of Norham, is preparing for a grand tour to the future with a fellow time traveler. His first night home, he receives a summons from his father the Duke of Kyloe to come to Scotland or their family will be ruined.
Lady Layla Colvin is roused from her sleep to marry the duke’s son as part of settling a gambling debt. Everything she has looked forward to vanishes with the words "I will." She will never have a come-out, or a suitor, or a wedding dress—and apparently not a husband either.
When Gerard walks back into her life, she runs the other way. Can she trust a man who abandoned her immediately after the vows were said or will they lead separate lives?
Spend some time in Victorian England in this second-chance romance, where mistakes are made, and love is hard earned, and a little faerie magic glistens in the air.

My Review ♥️
In our society, who we love is a choice we make, but once upon a time this fact wasn't so. To settle a gambling debt, Gerard is forced to marry Layla, a girl that he has never met, under the cover of darkness, with no one knowing but their parents. Gerard immediately leaves his bride to time travel to present day with his friend and no one knows. When Gerard returns to his time he believes that only a month has gone by but due to a fluke during his re-entry he has been gone for eighteen months instead!
A lot has happened during that time, including his bride giving up on Gerard ever coming back for her, and has decided to move back home. Gerard realizes just how selfish he's been, with taking this trip without giving his new marriage, and bride, a chance, and he knows it's time to make things right. He quickly gets his affairs in order and then sets his sights on Layla and winning her affections.
I immediately fell in love with the premise of this book, and knew that it was going to be a fun read, which it was. The characters are utterly charming and I loved the setting, though I wish there could've been more details in that regard. Watching the relationship between Gerard and Layla blossom is wonderful, and the ending will make you swoon!
