Virginia Leigh is a time traveler, albeit a reluctant one. For the past two years, she has managed to blend almost seamlessly into Edwardian life, working for the Lord and Lady Howard, cleaning house and acting as lady's maid to the earl's daughter, Lara. Yet, all the while, Virginia has been plotting a way to get back to her time; back to Netflix, sweatpants, takeout, and tampons. Having the right to vote was also nice. Eric Rylander attracts spectacle. With two Oscars, a few Golden Globes and two divorces under his belt, being accidentally dumped into the turn of the twentieth century is a bit of a shake-up. However, he finds that he prefers the lack of social media and the fast-paced production schedule of Hollywood. Living in the past for six years has allowed him to settle down for once, and set up as a star of the silent film era as he enjoys a much quieter version of fame and fortune. Finally, his days of moving around as a lonely time traveler—a vagabond—are over. However, when Eric visits the Howard's Yorkshire home with the intention of announcing his engagement to Lara, he's stopped dead in his tracks when he finds out Virginia is also a fellow time traveler—and a fan of his work. As he reveals to Virginia that neither of them can return to the twenty-first century, they begin a friendship that quickly spins into a desperate need to be with someone who understands their big mutual secret. But Virginia also knows about Eric's very public private life, and the humiliation of the mistakes he's made in his career and in his marriages. She has to ask herself, is she just another notch on the belt? And what does it mean to have a twenty-first-century relationship in an era where women can't vote, own property and aren't even considered people? Book 1 in the Time Traveler's Network Series
