Audrey Cameron has lost everything that mattered to her. Her first love dumped her, and her dream art school put her on the waitlist. She works at her family's convenience store in Pittsburgh, feeling hollow inside. Then Mr. Montgomery, a grumpy local man, walks in claiming he can help her get her spark back. Audrey finds herself transported to 1812, where she meets Lucy Sinclair on her family's estate. Lucy faces pressure to marry a man her father chose, someone who represents everything she doesn't want. Lucy lost her own spark when her mother died. As Audrey tries to figure out how to return home, both young women discover something unexpected. They keep trying to feel something for the men everyone expects them to love, but instead they fall for each other. Their connection reignites the passion both thought they had lost forever.
