So, she does what any self-respecting woman would: books a ticket to New York, dodges her family's pity, and chases a shiny new job at a centuries-old Irish atelier.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring her stay at the historic Fitzgerald Hotel, with its overdone Irish charm, a too-jolly mysterious bartender points her toward a velvet curtain. The catch? When Ava steps through, she finds herself in a speakeasy one hundred years in the past-in 1925, to be exact. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAva swore never to give her power away to love, or let a man derail her ambitions again. But drawn back to the speakeasy night after night, she finds herself pulled into a connection with the enigmatic owner, Cillian, whose piercing eyes and infuriating calm make her want to both kiss him and throw a drink in his face. Their connection is as magnetic as it is impossible: Cillian belongs to 1925; she belongs to 2025. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the Christmas lights of the city glow around her, Ava must face the fear she's carried since childhood-that love only leads to loss.
