What if time travel was less grand adventure and more awkward misunderstandings, ill-fitting corsets, and the occasional accidental engagement? Lottie Birch has one job: catalogue the curiously cursed artefacts in the dusty backroom of the British Museum. But when an item’s still “warm”—a paisley waistcoat, a cracked fan, a suspiciously chatty mirror—Lottie is flung into a different historical moment… and usually someone’s love life.

A delightfully daft time travel romance—perfect for fans of tea, trifle, and temporal trouble. Lottie Birch was having a perfectly ordinary Tuesday until a suspiciously juddery marmalade jar hurled her straight into 1897—smack in the middle of Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee rehearsal. In her pyjamas.

When Lottie Birch, assistant curator at the Museum of Mildly Interesting Objects, is accidentally hurled into Victorian London during an exhibit setup, she finds herself once again mistaken for a governess. Or possibly a biscuit thief. It’s hard to tell. Tasked with wrangling two precocious children, evading a sentient automaton, and surviving an unsanctioned bake-off, Lottie must solve the mystery of the time portal before the next royal scone duel breaks out. Or worse—before she starts enjoying herself.
