Synopsis

When Austen’s fiction collides with reality, one woman must choose: write history—or live it.

Hannah Ridley has always felt more at home in the pages of her Regency novels than in her own century. As a modern author obsessed with the mysteries surrounding Pride and Prejudice, she’s convinced that Jane Austen’s beloved Bennet family was inspired by real people—real dramas, real secrets, and a real house hidden behind altered names and polite disguises.

Her search leads her to Rosachron Manor, a quiet English estate she believes to be the true Longbourn. But instead of dusty archives or forgotten letters, Hannah stumbles upon something far more extraordinary: a hidden time portal woven into the fabric of the old estate. One breath, one heartbeat—and she is swept into 1814.

Suddenly, Hannah is no longer studying history; she is living it.

Drawn into the rhythms of Regency life, she finds herself entangled with the very family she once believed fictional. Their lives and personalities are still being molded by the aftermath of the famous novel, and at the center of it all stands Elias Winterose—a handsome widower whose dry wit, weary tenderness, and fiercely guarded heart echo the satirical patriarch she has studied for years.

As Hannah navigates a world not her own, she uncovers secrets that could unravel both the past and her future. And every moment with Elias draws her deeper into a love she never expected—and may never be able to keep.

Is Hannah meant to chronicle the truth behind Austen’s masterpiece… or to become part of it?

A sweeping, heart‑tugging time‑slip romance filled with gentle suspense, emotional depth, and the quiet magic of second chances, A Rose Out of Time invites readers into a world where love blooms across centuries and the heart knows its way home.

Perfect for readers who love:
• Time‑travel romance with emotional resonance
• Regency settings with a modern twist
• Clean, wholesome love stories
• Old houses, hidden secrets, and love across centuries
• Austen‑inspired fiction with a fresh, imaginative lens

Step through the portal. Discover the truth behind the legend. And lose your heart in a story where past and present entwine.
