What she finds is a historic property turned luxury-themed resort with an obnoxious resident celebrity.Hugh Henley is an enigma to Cora. His classic good looks aren't only what captures her attention, but what many dub his strangest quirk-his complete immersion into Regency life from manners to attire. When they are forced to work together, she wonders if the career opportunity is worth the trouble.Furthermore, the two of them stumble into the year 1816 and struggle to survive the era and each other. The more time they spend together, the more an undeniable connection develops between them. In the midst of grief, Cora questions her faith in God while Hugh faces struggles of his own. But can his past help heal her future?

Can an old tavern's secrets free two women from their pasts?After a year, Olivia Griffin still drowns in grief from losing her beloved husband in a tragic accident. To cope with his death, she loses herself in her art and genealogy research that follows her grandmother's lineage to Trerose, a small fishing village on the Cornish coast of England. In a bid to start fresh, she travels to Cornwall to discover more about her grandmother's past, where she is captivated by an old tavern and the story of a young woman who lived there in the seventeenth century.In the autumn of 1671, Grace Atwood and her brother still mourn the loss of their childhood friend while they struggle to protect their mother and siblings from their abusive father, who operates The Burning Sands Tavern. Grace's life sinks further into turmoil after her father arranges her marriage to a local merchant with secrets of his own. When two strangers arrive in the harbor and the village is set alight with rumors, Grace finds herself caught between her family's secrets and a romantic interest in Rig, a mysterious young man who is determined to help save her family.In the present day, Olivia dives deeper into the history of the village, tavern, and young Grace's story, alongside two eccentric elderly sisters and the handsome vicar. The longer she spends in Trerose the more she is drawn to the village and tavern, which may very well hold the answer to both the past and her future.
