A Particle of Scandal

A 20,000‑word romantic romp of time travel, banter, and one very improper rescue.

One experiment. One hedge. One very confused marquess.

Dr. Madison Clarke is on the verge of reclaiming her career when her temporal physics simulation goes spectacularly sideways. She wakes in Regency London, half‑dressed, barefoot, and being ogled by a man who introduces himself with more names than should be legal.

Sebastien DeVere, Marquess of Ravensmere, knows trouble when he sees it-and Maddie is delightful trouble. His mother, the magnificently scandalous Dowager Marchioness Honoria, adopts Maddie on sight. Society whispers. Footmen drop trays. And Maddie, armed with science, sarcasm, and a spectacularly modern wardrobe malfunction, tries to make sense of a world that runs on etiquette instead of equations.

As she learns to navigate commando, carriages, and a household that treats her like a beloved oddity, Maddie discovers something unexpected: she likes it here. She likes the laughter. She likes the freedom. She likes the man who keeps calling her "enchantress."

Quantum physics sent her here. Love convinced her to stay.
