Disturbingly Beautiful
by J. & L. Wells
A Paradox in Time, #1
Out November 13, 2014
Is it really possible that somewhere in time, the perfect paradox
could be created? Does romance really stand a chance, and could it ever
flourish amidst so many intricacies and broken lives? How can a
nineteenth-century governess unknowingly cause so much devastation?
As Nell’s world opens up, we follow her on a complex journey, on
which she discovers love, loss and betrayal, and is forced to play a dangerous
game from which there appears to be no escape.
An intricate family plot slowly begins to unravel, in which she
finds herself centre stage. She was never supposed to leave Haunchcroft estate,
and he will do everything in his power to keep her there…
Could a possible rip in time be the salvation that Nell seeks?
“I find you disturbingly beautiful,” are the contradictory words
bestowed upon the governess by her master.
Mr Buchannan’s infatuation is a shadow from which Nell cannot
escape. The feelings he holds for her are not reciprocated, and though his lust
soon turns to love, Nell’s feelings towards him turn to hatred. Dreams and a
love of literature are Nell’s only escapism from the downtrodden life she leads
as a governess in the nineteenth century.
One night, an intruder on the estate catches Nell off guard, but
she gives chase; a decision that leads her through an opening in time between
the centuries, where she finds equality, true friendship and a completely
different outlook on life.
Despite using this to her advantage to escape the advances of her
unwanted suitor, she is somewhat perturbed when she unexpectedly finds him at
her side in the twenty-first century. Will love conquer all, or will time
always stand in their way?

“You, madam, are my weakness. Believe me when I say that I did not
seek you out, you just happened upon me.” His eyes widened. “You have not the
slightest idea how I have tried to fight my desires long and hard, but I have
to admit defeat; I have succumbed to your charms.” His words faltered as he
continued. “I … I find you uncommonly…” With a shake of his head he corrected
himself. “No, my dear, I find you disturbingly beautiful.
