A crossed line. A one-year gap. A chance to rewrite history.

Inspired by the concept of The Lakehouse but grounded in the gritty reality of witness protection and second chances. This series blends clean romance with mind-bending time travel mechanics. It’s about the ripple effects of our choices and the lengths we go to for the people we’ve never met—but already love.

Phone in Time: A Novel

She’s hiding in the present. He’s trapped in the past.

Kristal "Kristie" Van is living a lie. Hidden away in Witness Protection in a quiet Michigan town, she’s safe from the gang that wants her dead, but she’s completely isolated. That is, until a freak lightning strike hits a cell tower and connects her phone to a wrong number.

The man on the other end is Edward "Red" Johnson. He’s charming, he’s in trouble, and he’s calling from exactly two years ago.

Red is a low-level gang member looking for an exit strategy. When a woman from the future offers him winning lottery numbers, he sees a way out. But changing the past is dangerous business. As Red’s timeline begins to shift, the ripples threaten Kristie’s safety in the present. They have to work together across the temporal divide to save themselves—and each other.
