You can change the past. Can you cheat fate?

The day Princess Diana died, eighteen-year-old Rachel killed Oliver Jones in a car crash - and destroyed her own future in the process.

In 2026, time travel is a luxury commodity like any other. When a mysterious benefactor unexpectedly offers Rachel the opportunity to Time Jump, she doesn't think twice and goes back to 1997, making sure the fatal accident never takes place.

Oliver is now an alive and thriving politician, and the connection between him and Rachel blooms into a perfect fairy tale ending. But it comes at a terrible cost.

And as rumours begin to circulate about young women going missing from Oliver's rehab centres, Rachel faces an impossible question. Was the man she travelled back in time to save - and fell in love with in her present - a monster in the making?

Rachel thought killing Oliver was the worst thing she'd ever done. Now she's afraid saving him might be . . . Addictive and twisty time travel thriller, perfect for fans of Gillian McAllister, Blake Crouch and The Ministry of Time.

About the Author

Adam Simcox is a London-based filmmaker and photographer who has worked with numerous high-ends commercial clients, as well as shooting gigs featuring Jarvis Cocker, Hard-Fi, Huey Morgan, Echobelly and Soul Asylum. He began his career by writing and directing three feature films: the first sold to Netflix before Netflix was Netflix; the second and third won awards and critical acclaim at festivals worldwide, and so didn't sell at all.
