Leap of Hope

At the Crossroads Center, they're in the business of handing out second chances. And their newest client is Hope O'Neil - college student and Jane Austen devotee, who has always believed she'd be more at home in the past, wearing corsets and courted by men in cravats. But can a modern girl really fit into a world with no electricity, cell phones, or indoor plumbing? Hope is about to find out when her wish for an Austen kind of life is unexpectedly granted. Although she envisions her second chance will be like something straight out of Pride and Prejudice - complete with her own Mr. Darcy and a romantic happy ending - she gets more than she bargained for in this delightful romp through Regency England... a lot more. Leap of Hope is part of in an innovative new collection by author Shannon Winslow, stories all about turning points, possibilities, and second chances. Each book is complete in itself and may be read in any order. Who hasn't wondered at least once how life would have changed by making an alternate choice at some crucial moment in the past? Where would you be today if you'd turned right instead of left at an important crossroads or been able to sidestep a particular misfortune? Perhaps you've daydreamed about a different life altogether, in a different place and time. Each book in the Crossroads Collection features a new hero/heroine who's given the extraordinary gift of a second chance at life, the chance to answer for themselves the intriguing question "what if?"
