Versailles, Kentucky
Everleigh is a successful, mature human rights consultant who has it all- except love. An enchanted gift from her mother transports her soul back to 1888, to the life of a younger woman legally bonded to marry a man who only wants her inheritance. She falls in love with railroad man Malcolm Steel and has to decide if she would rather go back to her life in the future or fight the rigid Victorian expectations for women to have a life she desires.
The story is set in Versailles, Kentucky at a time when steam engines started connecting towns, when society preferred a gilded perfection rather than the reality of humanity, and even a modern woman would endure injustice to save those she loved. This is the first book in the Steam Through Time series.
