Merely a Matter of Time (Preorder - 2/2/27)

Like Lessons in Chemistry meets Bridgerton, Merely a Matter of Time is a time traveling romance full of banter, yearning, and science-flavored magic by debut author June Harrington.

June Harrington’s Merely a Matter of Time is an irresistible, slow-burn love story between two outrageously gifted arcane scientists who fall back in time only to fall for each other.

Lucy Bright and her brilliant research partner Francis de Montmort (a former academic rival turned aggravatingly dear friend) never intended to (literally) blow up their life’s work and be thrown back in time from modern day to the early 19th century, but that’s rather what they’ve gone and done.

Now, trapped 200 years in the past with a broken time machine and a malicious, arcane heirloom, the pair must navigate society amongst the ancestors of their present-day peers without setting off any number of catastrophic chains of events.

But even as they work together to avoid overly-eligible daughters, a magically enhanced horserace, and an infernal sprite in a cable-knit cardigan, a question arises: can they maintain their carefully constructed composure as colleagues or has their misstep in time exposed something… more?

This deeply romantic story will have you looking at your best friend and wondering, Is it merely a matter of time?
