The Christmas Cottage

By Mrs Anastasia Paul

A grieving historian named Elodie Quinn, escaping a broken engagement and loss, retreats to a rustic cottage outside Haworth for the holidays. The cottage, inherited from a great-aunt, sits on the edge of the moor - quiet, ancient, peculiar.
She begins to see fragments of another time: candlelit windows, echoing voices, a man in a long coat watching her from the shadowed trees. Drawn into cryptic diary entries left behind in the cottage and a hidden tunnel beneath the hearth, Elodie finds herself inexplicably slipping between her time and 1845 - into the life of Elias Hartwood, a reclusive inventor trying to save his sister from an unknown fate.
But meddling with time comes at a cost. As Elodie and Elias fall for each other across centuries, history begins to fracture. The village clock tower cracks. A blood moon rises. The Bront sisters appear as side characters, offering veiled warnings. And Christmas - the moment when both timelines converge - becomes their only chance to save each other before the past consumes the present.
