Having inherited the title Duke of Avendesh, widower Edwin Halford struggles to navigate his new duties. However, nothing compares to the dilemma of marriage, an action he fears will betray his late wife. But with his young daughter in need of guidance, he's determined to seek out a marriage of convenience...just as soon as his mischievous child returns from her sneaky trip to the future.

Diana Rodriguez has always envisioned a perfect future—one where she successfully runs her parents' charity and comes home to a doting husband. With the charity's funding in shambles, she feels the weight of failure dragging her under.
While attending a wedding, Diana befriends Juliana, a spirited seven-year-old who has bravely time-traveled from the past. When thieves crash the ceremony, Diana and Juliana are transported to 1816. With the pearl that brought them there missing, Diana must stay with Juliana and her father until the cursed heirloom can be recovered.
Edwin's heart opens to the possibility of love, and he finds the modern lady's zeal for life buoying him out of a sea of grief. But the final effort to retrieve the pearls and destroy them proves dangerous and places more than Edwin and Diana's hearts on the line.
