An overworked book publicist with a perfectly planned future hits a snag when she falls in love with her temporary roommate...only to discover he lives seven years in the past, in this witty and wise new novel from the bestselling author of The Dead Romantics . Sometimes, the worst day of your life happens, and you have to figure out how to live after it. So Clementine forms a plan to keep her heart safe: work hard, find someone decent to love, and live in a castle. The last one is obviously silly and absolutely unattainable, but her aunt always told her that you needed at least one silly dream to keep going. And for the last year, that plan has gone off without a hitch. Mostly. The love part is hard because she doesn''t want to get too close to anyone-she isn''t sure her heart can take it. And then she finds a strange man standing in the kitchen of her late aunt''s apartment. A man with kind eyes and a Welsh drawl and a taste for lemon meringue pies. The kind of man that, before it all, she would''ve fallen head-over-heels for. And she might again. Except, he exists only in the past. Seven years ago, to be exact. And she, quite literally, lives seven years in his future. Her aunt always said the apartment was a pinch in time, a place where moments blended together like watercolors. And Clementine knows that if she lets her heart fall, she''ll be doomed. After all, love is never a matter of time-but a matter of timing.
