LOVERS LOST IN TIME BOOKS 1-6: six enchanting and captivating time-slip historical romances by Deryn Lake
'Ingenious and highly readable.' The Times

Six unforgettable novellas. One eternal love transcends time.

From the elegant drawing rooms of Georgian Bath to the sunlit shores of the Aegean and the haunting châteaux of France, these enchanting timeslip romances weave together romance, mystery, and the supernatural.

Book 1: THE MOONLIT BATHS
18th century. When Lady Arabella Wynter arrives in fashionable Georgian Bath, she is captivated by its beauty — until she glimpses a mysterious soldier in Roman dress who cannot possibly exist. Drawn together across the ages, Arabella and Gaius Petronius discover a love that defies logic, reason, and time itself. But as two worlds collide, they must face a destiny that demands a heartbreaking price.

Book 2: THE GEMINI SYNDROME
20th century. Photographer Elizabeth Lacey has always been fascinated by mirrors, doubles, and the tricks of light. But when a stranger’s familiar face begins to appear in her photographs, she is forced to confront a past life she cannot remember. As the veil between lives thins, Elizabeth realises the love she has been searching for has followed her through time — but fate may not allow her peace in this life either.

Book 3: THE WARDROBE
Late 19th century. When Rebecca and Greg move into a grand Gothic house, they discover a wardrobe filled with relics from another age — and a cache of letters tied to a Victorian murder scandal known as the Carthew Affair. As the voices of the past rise once more, Rebecca finds herself haunted by echoes of forbidden love and tragedy, until the boundary between past and present begins to dissolve.

Book 4: THE ANKLETS
On an archaeological dig beneath the blazing Mediterranean sun, Alison and Julian uncover a pair of golden anklets once belonging to a Roman procurator and his dancer-mistress. Their discovery stirs vivid dreams of another life — and awakens an ancient passion that threatens to consume them both. Some loves are destined to be reborn, no matter how many lifetimes must pass.

Book 5: THE STAIRCASE
For years, Helena has been haunted by dreams of a spiral staircase that leads nowhere. When she visits a French château, the dream becomes terrifyingly real — and she sees her own face staring back from an eighteenth-century portrait. As she unravels the château’s dark secrets, Helena is drawn toward a man she has never met but has loved for centuries, and must decide whether to risk everything for a love beyond time.

Book 6: THE MERMAID'S KISS
On the windswept Devon shore, a lonely woman is drawn to the legends of mermaids and lost lovers. When she meets a stranger who seems to know her soul, she begins to question what is real and what is remembered. Beneath the waves lies a secret older than time — and a love that refuses to die.

Atmospheric, romantic, and steeped in history, this collection is perfect for fans of Susanna Kearsley, Kate Morton, and Barbara Erskine.
