About this listen
Ripped from her life and thrown back to the roaring '20s, a modern woman must learn to navigate gangsters, flappers, and organized crime.
London paramedic and caregiver for her sick grandmother Roseanna Chapman has her hands full. But, when she is cast back in time and witnesses a murder, she finds herself stranded and in danger.
In 1921, Daniel Alderman’s a feared and ruthless gangster. He must rely on Roseanna to find his brother’s killer, but with her hiding so many secrets, can he trust her or could she be the killer?
The two connect as a race against time ensues, but as their feelings intensify, so does the threat against Roseanna’s life, and she becomes torn between the man she loves and her grandmother, who desperately needs her care.
Can they navigate time and tragedy together, or will their love become another cautionary tale of days gone by?

Dr. Potter can’t turn down my case forever. Or at least I thought so until I uncovered Dr. Potter’s secret. A secret, which came with a venomous warning...one that destroyed everything.

If you’re a Peaky Blinders fan..
Ok I can’t be the only person who visualized Cillian Murphy as Danny’s character.. his personality, character traits and situation was basically that of Tommy Shelby on Peaky Blinders.. honestly, thinking of it that way made the book that much better.. it brought it out visually, beyond just an auditory experience, and made a very good storyline, exceptional!
It made the love story in this, exceptional.
Looking forward to listening to the next book.

New author and narrator for me. Really enjoyed this time traveling, 1920s England, slow burn romance with Peaky Blinders vibes ❤️ My one critique, it felt a bit too long. Well, I take that back, because there's more good character development to enjoy. Loved the narrator!
