LEOPOLDO ACEVEDO C.
- What
- if
- love
- could
- defy
- the
- boundaries
- of
- time
- itself
- ?Clara
- Sullivan
- doesn't
- believe
- in
- Valentine's
- Day—or
- in
- love,
- for
- that
- matter.
- A
- cynical
- journalist
- stuck
- writing
- about
- cookie-cutter
- romances
- in
- her
- small-town
- paper,
- Clara
- feels
- trapped
- in
- a
- life
- she
- never
- wanted.
- But
- everything
- changes
- when
- she
- receives
- an
- anonymous
- package:
- an
- intricately
- folded
- letter,
- tattered
- and
- dated
- February
- 14,
- 1862,
- signed
- only
- with
- the
- initials
- "S.V."The
- letter
- describes
- a
- forbidden
- love
- and
- a
- powerful
- secret,
- one
- so
- profound
- it
- was
- meant
- to
- remain
- hidden
- forever.
- Intrigued,
- Clara
- begins
- investigating,
- uncovering
- an
- abandoned
- mansion
- shrouded
- in
- mystery
- and
- whispers
- of
- lost
- histories.
- Inside,
- she
- finds
- a
- hidden
- library
- and
- a
- forgotten
- diary
- from
- the
- Civil
- War
- era,
- revealing
- the
- passionate,
- heartbreaking
- story
- of
- Evelyn—a
- young
- woman
- who
- defied
- her
- era's
- rigid
- norms
- for
- the
- man
- she
- loved.
But
- that's
- only
- the
- beginning.
- Clara
- soon
- crosses
- paths
- with
- Marcus,
- a
- magnetic
- historian
- who
- knows
- far
- too
- much
- about
- the
- mansion
- and
- its
- secrets.
- Their
- partnership
- is
- as
- electrifying
- as
- it
- is
- uneasy,
- and
- as
- sparks
- fly,
- Clara
- is
- drawn
- deeper
- into
- the
- mansion's
- mysteries.
- When
- she
- stumbles
- upon
- a
- hidden
- time
- portal
- buried
- within
- its
- walls,
- her
- world
- is
- turned
- upside
- down.Suddenly
- transported
- to
- 1862,
- Clara
- witnesses
- Evelyn's
- love
- story
- firsthand
- and
- begins
- unraveling
- the
- truth
- behind
- the
- letter.
- Yet,
- as
- the
- line
- between
- past
- and
- present
- blurs,
- Clara
- realizes
- her
- own
- heart
- is
- at
- stake.
Caught
- between
- a
- love
- that
- spans
- centuries
- and
- the
- risk
- of
- unraveling
- the
- fabric
- of
- time,
- Clara
- must
- make
- an
- impossible
- choice:
- preserve
- history
- as
- it
- was
- meant
- to
- be,
- or
- rewrite
- it
- for
- a
- love
- that
- could
- redefine
- her future.
