Publisher's summary
1942. Determined to do her bit for the war effort, Yorkshire lass Evie Sinclair leaves her island home to become an Ack Ack Gunner Girl, defending Britain from Luftwaffe attacks.
Evie embarks on a gruelling training programme with fellow recruits Lily and Gloria — and the three become firm friends.
At a local dance, Evie meets handsome young RAF pilot, Matt, and the pair begin a passionate romance. Then tragedy strikes.
Forced to leave the services, Evie returns home — only to be shunned by her disapproving mother. Alone and pregnant, Evie is determined to keep her baby.
But life will be tough for a penniless unmarried mother at a time when women are judged harshly and the men are away at war. It’s a long way from Evie’s carefree days as a Gunner Girl. Will she ever be reunited with Lily and Gloria?

Eight years ago I fell into a secret summer fling with my best friend’s little sister before our lives went in different directions. Now, I’m the grumpy to Juliet’s sunshine on a popular dating podcast we host, and when a wealthy fan gives us a charming coastal cottage as the biggest thank you ever, we head to the town where I grew up to give it a makeover. And find the house has only one bed. Located under a mirrored ceiling.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 349
Romance can be a little complicated when you get sucked into a wormhole. Just ask high school English teacher June Flint. One little solar flare happens and suddenly you find yourself 85 years in the future. Eighty-five years from your dream job. Your ailing mother whose only companion in this world is you. Your favorite stuffed-crust pizza from DeLucia’s on Sunday nights. But when June’s cell phone inexplicably picks up a signal, she’s able to call back to the present—more specifically, four weeks before she accidentally time traveled.
