    Summary

    Tom Hayward meets Mary Bennet without ever having a romantic understanding with Ann Baxter. While their early interactions will stay the same, no romantic ties with Ann Baxter mean there is nothing holding Tom back from pursuing Mary, other than his own insecurities. This story will explore what changes and what stays the same when Tom and Mary are able to grow their feelings for one another freely. How will their romantic feelings develop differently? How will Mary’s confidence in herself grow? And how will one William Ryder continue to make a nuisance of himself.

    Summary

    Mary Bennet could be described with three words: intelligent, agreeable, and careful. She was also a damn good pianist, having dedicated her entire life to the study of the craft. As the only pianist for the London Symphony Orchestra, she was accomplished. Happy.
    Right...?

    Summary

    Edward Hayward was, in many respects, a typical sixteen-year-old boy, growing up in 1832.

    He was awkward, uncertain of himself, and entirely unprepared for the adult world- a truly ordinary life.

    So imagine his surprise once he wakes up after a terrible argument, to find he is in fact in 1815 and witnessing the beginning of his parent's love story?

    Summary

    She came to Gardiner & Associates to prove herself. He told her, on day one, that she was probably there because of her uncle. He also mentioned attending Oxford. She has not forgiven either.

    Tom Hayward is brilliant, obsessive, completely lacking a filter, and - inconveniently - one of the most rigorous people Mary has ever met. They're co-counsel on the same case. It's going to be a long few months.
