A storm, a staircase, and a single fall send Ruby Saunders into 1940s Tampa—where glamour hides corruption, the past is deadly, and escape may be impossible.
About the Book
One fall. Two eras. No way back.
Ruby Saunders is finally on the brink of the life she has always wanted—law school, a prestigious internship at a downtown Tampa law firm, and a future that feels perfectly within reach.
Then one storm changes everything.
After a lightning strike, a cry in the dark, and a fall on a spiral staircase, Ruby wakes to find the law office transformed into a dazzling 1940s gentlemen’s club. At first, she thinks it must be a dream.
It isn’t.
Behind the music, glamour, and smoke-lit elegance of The Painted Fan, Ruby discovers a chilling plot involving three kidnapped women from Havana—and a powerful Tampa crime syndicate with ties reaching deep into the city’s legal system.
Alone, out of time, and unsure who can be trusted, Ruby must find a way to stop the plan before it’s too late.
Because someone is watching her.
And they know she doesn’t belong.

Mark Schultz –
I love stories about involuntary time travel! When they are tied to historical events and real places, the story is so much better.
Braley is an amazing author! She is so good at plotting and weaving the many threads into a cohesive and surprising whole! There are a lot of twists and turns in this story, enough to keep you turning the pages.
I am committed to not giving any spoilers, so I can’t say more; except read this book!
