An overworked book publicist with a perfectly planned future hits a snag when she falls in love with her temporary roommate…only to discover he lives seven years in the past, in this witty and wise new novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Dead Romantics.
Sometimes, the worst day of your life happens, and you have to figure out how to live after it.
So Clementine forms a plan to keep her heart safe: work hard, find someone decent to love, and try to remember to chase the moon. The last one is silly and obviously metaphorical, but her aunt always told her that you needed at least one big dream to keep going. And for the last year, that plan has gone off without a hitch. Mostly. The love part is hard because she doesn’t want to get too close to anyone—she isn’t sure her heart can take it.
And then she finds a strange man standing in the kitchen of her late aunt’s apartment. A man with kind eyes and a Southern drawl and a taste for lemon pies. The kind of man that, before it all, she would’ve fallen head-over-heels for. And she might again.
Except, he exists in the past. Seven years ago, to be exact. And she, quite literally, lives seven years in his future.
Her aunt always said the apartment was a pinch in time, a place where moments blended together like watercolors. And Clementine knows that if she lets her heart fall, she’ll be doomed.
After all, love is never a matter of time—but a matter of timing.

6 books in catalog
Blending contemporary romance with subtle elements of magical realism and paranormal fantasy, speculative romance novels have gained wide popularity through stories where love transcends ordinary rules of time and reality. Bestselling author Ashley Poston achieved major success with The Dead Romantics, a novel combining ghost stories, publishing culture, and heartfelt romance, establishing her signature mix of emotional depth and uncanny narrative twists.
Born in New Orleans, Louisiana, on May 20, 1985, Poston grew up in the rural South immersed in fanfiction, fantasy, and speculative fiction. She attended the University of South Carolina, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in English. Before writing full-time, she gained broad experience across the book trade, working as a barista, hotelier, clerk, and freelance cover designer before taking a position in the publishing industry designing and implementing marketing strategies for novels. Poston initially built her career in young adult fiction, debuting Geekerella in 2017 and publishing the space opera Heart of Iron in 2018. After writing over half a dozen YA titles, she made a successful transition into adult romance. Today, she writes full-time from her small grey house in South Carolina while dividing her time with New York.
Poston writes stories centered on love, friendship, and ever afters, frequently incorporating fantasy-adjacent elements into contemporary settings. Heavily influenced by her background reading and writing fanfiction, her adult romances feature high-concept premises—such as a book publicist whose apartment connects her to a roommate living seven years in the past, or a romance writer confronting a literal ghost—without shifting into full high fantasy. Her narrative approach combines humor, pop-culture and fandom homage, and thoughtful explorations of grief, identity, and emotional healing.
