Lonely Regency romance writer travels to the future, meets her fans, dips into a swimming pool made of pearls, and falls for its owner…
If Jane Austen’s novels had never ever existed, would we have rom-com movies and women’s fiction? But the young writer is discouraged by a publisher’s rejection and ready to give up writing. And an unwelcome marriage proposal she has rashly accepted spells her doom.
Someone must save history and Jane Austen! A stranger calls, claiming to be an interested publisher, and a desperate Jane agrees to go to his office. That office turns out to be 200 years in the future. And it's not an office, but a bookstore in Pasadena, California where fans of Jane Austen gather every month to discuss her books.
Jane greets her club only to find that superfans can be super picky. Discouraged by their critiques, Jane asks her time traveling escort for different adventures. Deadly, dangerous ones. And yes—romantic ones! Perhaps with one tall, blue-eyed superfan named Will Fleming.
Her “publisher” had hoped to inspire Jane’s writing by showing her a book club devoted to her. But when Jane decides to chart her own course, history may have to save itself …

Excerpt from Jane Austen Time Traveler
“The boy is easily excited. He must get it from his mother,” said Cassandra, smiling wickedly at Jane. “Oh, the games and sport that barreled down our hallways with Jane in mad pursuit!”
With those words, Cassy fainted.
Despite her bulky body, Jane jumped up and went over. “Smelling salts!” She cried to any servant within earshot.
Harris went for the bottle and gave it to Jane, who waved it under her sister’s nose.
“What?!” Cassandra startled awake.
The sight shook Jane. She took her sister’s hands. They were icy, though the room, warmed by double fireplaces, was warm. Jane felt Cassandra’s cheek, noting her breathing was slow.
“Water!” she cried out.
Again, Harris rose, but slowly. He went to the bell and pulled it to summon a servant.
“No, you must go yourself! Hurry!” Jane barked.
Harris’ eyes widened. He took a step back and then raced out of the room.
Jane held Cassy’s hands, patting them until she felt some warmth. Cassy’s eyes were glazed.
“Dearest! Water is coming. Do you want us to call the doctor?”
“No, no. These faints come over me. It’s nothing. I’ll be well shortly. Water would be nice.”
The picture of an ailing sister—was Cassandra actually dying?—shook Jane so hard she quivered. The shaking within made her contract and pull back into herself.
The room blacked out around her, and she was back in bed, next to Will. She had gone everywhere in no time at all.
