Time travel—but make it political (and sexy).
She’s a government civil servant who thought her high-paying job came with a normal office routine. Instead, she gets Commander Graham Gore—a Victorian-era Arctic explorer yanked from 1847.
Welcome to the Ministry of Time, where history's been kidnapped, chaos is job requirement #1, and your coworker might actually be from the 19th century.
-
A workplace comedy with spies, spies in furs, and Spotify
-
A time-travel romance that sparks between eras
-
A brilliant critique of power, colonialism, and who gets to write history
Think The Time Traveler’s Wife meets A Gentleman in Moscow, but spiced with politics, cigarettes, and imperial guilt.
📖 Condition: Gently used hardcover with minimal shelf wear—352 pages of impossible chemistry and impossible timelines.
🫶 Great for readers who loved Outlander, A Gentleman in Moscow, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow—aka time-bending, history-y, and slightly absurd love stories.
