Rose Wallace's world revolves around all things Jane Austen, and with the annual festival in Bath-and the arrival of dishy archaeologist Dr. Aiden Trevellyan-just around the corner, all is well with the world. But then a mysterious woman who bears more than a passing resemblance to the great author moves in upstairs, and things take a disastrous turn. Rose's new neighbour is none other than Jane Austen herself, now trapped in the twenty-first century after her time-travel adventure was sabotaged by a mischievous dog. Rose's life is instantly changed-new home, new job, new friends-but she's the only one who seems to have noticed! To right the world around her, she'll have to do whatever it takes to help Jane get back home to write Rose's beloved novels. Because a world without Mr. Darcy? It's not worth living in!
