Annabel Blake was born in the wrong century. An Austen-loving book nerd, she dreams of being a writer herself, with a just-penned Regency novel to prove it. Her hopes sink when her hot author crush rejects her: The novel reads like she's never been in love. Ouch. Annabel sees a chance to rewrite it when her ex-pat boss sends her to England to sort out her family's "crumbling old pile" of a country house. Tempted by an invitation tucked in an antique writing desk and a "period" coachman at her door, Annabel's whisked away to a local Regency Society ball--cue candlelight, costumes, dancing--that might be just the inspiration she needs. There's even the achingly perfect--and wildly out of her league--Henry Leighton D'Evercy. When Annabel's audacious influencer sister crashes the party with her super-chill ex-boyfriend, the unlikely trio wake to find themselves trapped in the actual Regency era. No Wi-Fi, lattes, cellphones--just a world where manners, money, and marriage rule. As Annabel falls deeply for D'Evercy, she must decide: write her perfect love story ... or live it.
