The Regency Ruse: A Steamy BWWM Interracial Multicultural Standalone 1815 Time Travel Fake Engagement Historical Romance
N. Viktoria
I'm not supposed to be here.
One minute I'm in my Bath hotel room in 2025, the next I'm crashing through time into 1815 England with nothing but a laptop bag and a racing heart. No way home. No plan. And absolutely no idea how to explain to Regency society why a Black American woman just appeared out of nowhere speaking like she's from another world.
Because I am.
Then HE finds me. Sebastian Ashworth, Duke of Thornwood. Cold grey eyes. Devastating smile. The kind of dangerous that makes smart women do stupid things. He offers me protection, a fake engagement, a place in his world.
I should say no. I should focus on finding the music box that brought me here, on getting back to my real life before someone discovers my secret. Before they find my phone. My manuscript. Before they realize I know things about their future that could destroy everything.
But every time Sebastian touches me, I forget I don't belong here. Every time he kisses me, the future feels less important than right now. And every time we're together—skin to skin, breath to breath, hearts pounding in the dark—I wonder if going home would be the biggest mistake of my life.
The portal opens tonight. Under the full moon. One chance to return to 2025.
Or one chance to stay with the man who's made me believe in destiny.
I have hours to decide. And someone knows my secret.
The clock is counting down. And I still don't know which century I belong in.
I don't believe in fate. I stopped believing in magic the day I buried my sister.
Then Sade Oyelaran literally falls into my garden, speaking strangely, moving like no lady I've ever seen, looking at me like she can see straight through the walls I've built around my heart. She's hiding something. I know she's hiding something.
I should send her away. Instead, I offer her a be my fake bride, help me survive the marriage market, and I'll protect her secrets.
Except her secrets are bigger than I imagined. A glowing music box. Pages from a manuscript that describe the future.
Strange devices that light up and show impossible things. She's not just hiding something.
She's from somewhere—somewhen—else entirely.
I should be terrified. I should call her a witch and walk away. Instead, I'm falling. Falling harder than I've ever fallen for anyone. When she's in my arms, nothing else matters. Not society. Not logic. Not the impossible truth that she's from two hundred years in the future.
But someone's discovered her secret. Someone's threatening to expose her. And tonight, the portal that brought her here opens again.
She has to her world or mine. Her time or me.
I'm a Duke. I command armies, manage estates, control everything in my life. But I can't control this. I can't make her stay. All I can do is give her every reason to choose me.
And pray that love is enough to bridge two centuries.
THE
One woman caught between two worlds.
One man who'll burn his entire world down to keep her.
One night to make an impossible choice.
And one enemy who knows everything.
When the moon rises, everything changes.
A scorching BWWM time travel romance where the only thing hotter than the passion is the race against time itself.
