But when Edward&’s secrets put Jane&’s independence in jeopardy, she must face long-ignored ghosts from her past and decide if opening her heart is a risk worth taking.
Jane Austen Cannot Marry!
by Jan Coffey May McGoldrick"POWERFUL AND POIGNANT…I LOVED THIS BOOK." - Jane Porter, NYT Bestselling Author A FISH-OUT-OF-WATER TIME TRAVEL NOVEL SET IN REGENCY ENGLAND AND THE 21ST CENTURY COLORADO ROCKIES Nadine Finley has made the quantum commute to 1811 to stop Jane Austen from meeting and marrying Captain Charles Gordon. The two of them share a romantic past, and if Nadine fails in her mission, Jane will never get to London. The fledgling author will never get her first book ready for publication. And if the novel is never readied for the presses, Jane will never go back home and revise the manuscript that will eventually become Pride and Prejudice. In short, disaster. The mission instructions were plain and simple: Jane Austen cannot marry. Except...matters become extremely complicated when the Scribe Guardian's own romantic interest unintentionally follows her across the centuries to 1811. Xander Nouri is a tech billionaire who is cheerfully unfamiliar with both history and literature. He has also forged a life where he is insulated from the non-quantifiable uncertainties of feelings and romance. In fact, the only time he let his guard down was for three wildly unexpected days in Las Vegas when he allowed his heart to be fondled and then stomped on by an elusive woman named Nadine. Xander lives in a world of reason, facts, and data…none of which explain her appearance, dressed in period clothing, in a coffin a mile from his secluded mountain home. And her claim of time traveling doesn't exactly compute. It's not long before sparks once again begin to fly between the former lovers. But Nadine needs to get back to her mission before literary history is permanently damaged. By the time she's able to make the quantum leap back in time, Jane Austen and the captain have already met again...and romance is brewing. To complicate matters, Xander has made the trip, as well. And Xander is the unlikeliest 'nerd-out-of-water' ever to land on Regency shores.
Jane Austen Kann Nicht Heiraten!
by Jan Coffey May McGoldrickEIN FISCH-AUS-DEM-WASSER-ZEITREISE-ROMAN SPIELT IM ENGLAND DER REGENTSCHAFT UND DEN COLORADO ROCKIES DES 21. JAHRHUNDERTS Nadine Finley ist in das Jahr 1811 gereist, um Jane Austen daran zu hindern, Captain Charles Gordon zu treffen und zu heiraten. Die beiden verbindet eine romantische Vergangenheit, und wenn Nadine mit ihrer Mission scheitert, wird Jane niemals nach London kommen. Die junge Autorin wird ihr erstes Buch nie zur Veröffentlichung fertigstellen können. Und wenn der Roman nicht in den Druck geht, wird Jane nie nach Hause zurückkehren und das Manuskript überarbeiten, aus dem schließlich Stolz und Vorurteil werden soll. Kurzum, eine Katastrophe. Die Anweisungen der Mission waren klar und einfach: Jane Austen darf nicht heiraten. Aber … die Dinge werden extrem kompliziert, als das romantische Interesse des Autoren-Wächters ihr ungewollt durch die Jahrhunderte ins Jahr 1811 folgt. Xander Nouri ist ein Tech-Milliardär, der weder mit Geschichte noch mit Literatur vertraut ist. Außerdem hat er sich ein Leben aufgebaut, in dem er von den nicht quantifizierbaren Unwägbarkeiten, von Gefühlen und Romantik abgeschirmt ist. Das einzige Mal, dass er seine Deckung fallen ließ, waren drei unerwartete Tage in Las Vegas, als er zuließ, dass sein Herz von einer schwer fassbaren Frau namens Nadine gestreichelt und dann zertreten wurde. Xander lebt in einer Welt der Vernunft, der Fakten und der Daten … nichts davon erklärt ihr Auftauchen in historischer Kleidung in einem Sarg eine Meile von seinem abgelegenen Haus in den Bergen entfernt. Und ihre Behauptung, sie sei durch die Zeit gereist, ergibt auch keinen Sinn. Es dauert nicht lange, bis die Funken zwischen den ehemaligen Liebenden wieder zu fliegen beginnen. Aber Nadine muss zurück zu ihrer Mission, bevor die Literaturgeschichte dauerhaft beschädigt wird. Bis sie den Quantensprung in die Vergangenheit schafft, haben sich Jane Austen und der Kapitän bereits wieder getroffen … und eine Romanze bahnt sich an. Erschwerend kommt hinzu, dass auch Xander die Reise angetreten hat. Und Xander ist der unwahrscheinlichste ' Streber aus dem Wasser ' , der je an den Ufern der Regency gelandet ist.
Jane Austen Non Può Sposarsi
by Jan Coffey May McGoldrick"POTENTE E TOCCANTE... HO AMATO QUESTO LIBRO". - Jane Porter, autrice di bestseller del NYT UN ROMANZO SUL VIAGGIO NEL TEMPO CON UN PERSONAGGIO D'ECCEZIONE AMBIENTATO NELL'INGHILTERRA DELLA REGGENZA E FRA LE MONTAGNE ROCCIOSE DEL COLORADO DEL XXI SECOLO Nadine Finley ha viaggiato nel tempo fino al 1811 per impedire a Jane Austen di incontrare e sposare il capitano Charles Gordon. I due hanno avuto una storia in passato, e se Nadine fallisce nella sua missione Jane non arriverà mai a Londra. La scrittrice alle prime armi non riuscirà mai a preparare il suo primo libro per la pubblicazione. E se il romanzo non sarà mai pronto per la stampa, Jane non potrà mai tornare a casa e revisionare il manoscritto che alla fine diventerà Orgoglio e pregiudizio. In breve, un disastro. Le istruzioni della missione sono chiare e semplici: Jane Austen non può sposarsi. Solo che... le cose si complicano notevolmente quando l'interesse romantico della Scriba Custode la segue involontariamente attraverso i secoli fino al 1811. Xander Nouri è un miliardario della tecnologia che non ha alcuna familiarità con la storia e la letteratura. Si è costruito una vita lontana dalle incertezze non quantificabili dei sentimenti e del romanticismo. In effetti, l'unica volta che ha abbassato la guardia è stato per tre giorni inaspettati a Las Vegas, quando ha permesso che il suo cuore venisse conquistato e poi calpestato da una donna sfuggente di nome Nadine. Xander vive in un mondo di razionalità, fatti e dati... nessuno dei quali spiega l'apparizione della donna, vestita in abiti d'epoca, dentro una bara a un chilometro e mezzo dalla sua isolata casa di montagna. E quando lei dice di aver viaggiato nel tempo, non è facile crederle. Non passa molto tempo prima che tra i due ex amanti comincino di nuovo a scoccare scintille. Ma Nadine deve tornare alla sua missione, prima che la storia letteraria venga danneggiata in modo permanente. Quando riuscirà a fare il salto quantico nel tempo, Jane Austen e il capitano si saranno già incontrati di nuovo... e la loro storia d'amore starà già per riaccendersi. A complicare le cose, anche Xander fa il salto. E Xander è il più improbabile "nerd fuor d'acqua" mai approdato sulle coste della Reggenza.
Jane Austen in Boca: A Novel

If there weren't confusion enough, Flo's great-niece Amy, a film student at NYU, suddenly arrives with a camera crew determined to get it all on tape.Will May and Norman eventually find happiness? Will Flo succumb to the charms of the suavely cosmopolitan Mel Shirmer?
