Merely A Matter of Time

Two magicians must navigate Regency society, magical misadventures and their increasing attraction to one another as a time-travel experiment goes badly wrong.

They’ve accidentally travelled two centuries.
But will the Regency era turn rivalry into romance?

Lucy Bright and Francis de Montmort never intended to (literally) blow up their life’s work and get thrown back in time. But now they are trapped 200 years in the past with a broken time machine and a potentially-evil snuff box. The pair must navigate Regency society, including the ancestors of present-day peers, without triggering further catastrophic events.

However, a handful of overly-eligible daughters, a magically-enhanced horse race, and a demon in a cable-knit cardigan are complicating everything. It will require Lucy and Francis’s combined intellects to get them both home – without breaking time itself.

But even as they work towards that shared goal, a question arises. Can they maintain their carefully constructed composure as colleagues, or will their rivalry soften into romance? And will what happens in the past, stay in the past?

They must navigate danger, entitled dukes, and a dastardly snuff box. Welcome to high society and low shenanigans.

This addictive page-turner is perfect for fans of Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett and Freya Marske's A Marvellous Light.
