Scattered

She was born a century too early to be taken seriously. He’s built his life around what he can measure and prove. Time has crossed their paths with the chance to alter both her past and their future. In 1906 Montreal, Elie Rutherford refuses to accept the future laid out for her—marriage, obedience, and a life far from the laboratory she longs to enter. As the daughter of renowned physicist Ernest Rutherford, she has the mind for discovery—but not the freedom to use it. Defying expectations could cost her everything. A hundred years later, William Hertz is a gifted but guarded graduate student at McGill, hiding from the past and keeping the world at a careful distance. Physics is predictable. People are not. Until a failed experiment tears a hole through time. Thrown into 2006, Elie finds herself stranded in a world she barely understands—and in the path of a man who challenges everything she thinks she understands about modern people, and herself. As their connection deepens, so does the urgency of her situation: the experiment that brought her to the future may be the only way back. But recreating it comes with consequences neither of them can fully grasp. Because changing time isn’t just dangerous—it’s irreversible. And the closer Elie and William grow, the more impossible her choice becomes. Return to the life she fought to escape… Or risk everything for a future that was never meant to be hers.
