Time travel is legal and Ada Blum is looking for love. But what happens when one of her charming bachelors from the past makes his way to the present?

                                                                      ***** 

Time travel isn't just possible, it's been legalized by the US government. Many industries have capitalized on the trend, including dating agencies. Now anyone can travel to the past for their own Regency romance or wild west affair-for the right price. Ada Blum is no exception. Often dubbed an old soul, Ada finally has the chance to explore relationships with men who are more up her alley. What she doesn't expect is for her new beau to be a part of the 1920s gang scene in New York. And when she smuggles him into the 21st century to keep him safe, all hell breaks loose. Jealous lovers and glitches in time make for deadly enemies, but can Ada have her happy love story after all?

The Time-Traveller's Choice by sennalily

One moment, Emma Scott is in her college room in 2015, and the next she's in 1921 falling in love with an ex-soldier with a charming smile and a secret... Emma's an old hand at time travel: the first time she was pulled backwards she was ten years old. She can sense the memories that stone, fabric and wood have soaked up: usually she just sees them, but sometimes she ends up living them. She knows the drill: (1) avoid getting pulled backwards in the first place; (2) avoid the object that's pulled you backwards; (3) prevent the memory that imprints on the object, or, if all that fails, (4) wait it out until you're back in the right time. The problem is that the object was an old ring that her Granny Alice bequeathed to her, and Emma last saw it on the finger of her great grandmother, fleeing into a crowded London street. Now Emma is trying to find the ring and go back to her own time, but her great grandmother has vanished, and meanwhile there's Charlie Lawrence who's making Emma wonder if she even wants to go back at all...
