A Modern Woman Traded as a 1980s Bride

Julie Stein closes her eyes in the present and opens them decades earlier, wearing the life of a cast-off ward with no blood tie to the wealthy household sheltering her. The family views her only as convenient currency, having already arranged to ship her off as a replacement bride for their legitimate daughter. Her intended husband is an older widower burdened with two children, a future she never agreed to. With no allies and no way home, survival hinges on outmaneuvering the very people who hold her fate.
