Alessandra D’Angeli is in need of an adventure. Tired of her sixteenth-century life in Italy and homesick for her time-traveling cousin, Cat, who visited her for a magical week and dazzled her with tales of the future, Alessandra is lost. Until the stars hear her plea.One mystical spell later, Alessandra appears on Cat’s Beverly Hills doorstep five hundred years in the future. Surrounded by confusing gadgets, scary transportation, and scandalous clothing, Less is hesitant to live the life of a twenty-first century teen…until she meets the infuriating—and infuriatingly handsome—surfer Austin Michaels. Austin challenges everything she believes in…and introduces her to a world filled with possibility.With the clock ticking, Less knows she must live every moment of her modern life while she still can. But how will she return to the drab life of her past when the future is what holds everything she’s come to love?
Here’s the excerpt!
“That’s some sexy accent you have there.” Austin
says in a hushed voice—but not that hushed. A few people around us snicker at
my evident discomfort, which of course only serves to spur Austin on more. “Italian,
right? Mmm. Say something else—how do you say blush in Italian?”
When I ignore
him, he says, “You sure do have that rosy glow going on. Normally I have to
work harder to inspire something like that. Like what you see, Princess?”
“D-don’t call me
that,” I stammer, blushing all the more from his brazen question and the swift
resurgence of energy in my veins. “And I do not blush.”
That earns me a
wink. “Sure you don’t.”
Austin looks to
the front of the room and I follow his gaze. The teacher has her back turned,
drawing what appears to be a map of sorts on the white board. My eyes flick to
the large clock mounted on the wall. Class is nearly over, and I have managed
to follow exactly nothing of the lecture.
Alas, my
experience thus far as a modern day student has not been exemplary.
Though I do not
wish Austin to know the effect he has on me, I cannot keep my eyes from
snapping back. And when I do, I find him practically in my seat. His long torso
is stretched across the aisle, and his face is ever so close to mine. Warm
breath fans across my cheeks and I catch the scent of mint.
This must be
what rage feels like.
Austin says,
“It’s too bad that wasn’t a blush. I thought it was kinda hot.”
A shocked puff
of air and saucer-like eyes are my only response—having learned from Cat’s list
of words the double meaning of the word hot—and the left side of Austin’s mouth
lifts in a smile of victory. He settles back in his own seat and reinserts his
ear buds. The pen tapping begins again, only this time louder and with more
force.
I raise my chin
and stare straight ahead, vowing to keep my eyes from straying to the
ill-mannered jerk beside me for the rest of class. I count the seconds in time
with his taps.
I do believe I
hate Austin Michaels.
About Rachel:
As a teen, Rachel Harris threw raging parties that shook her parents’
walls and created embarrassing fodder for future YA novels. As an adult, she
reads and writes obsessively, rehashes said embarrassing fodder, and dreams up
characters who become her own grown up version of imaginary friends.
When she's not typing furiously or flipping pages in an enthralling
romance, you can find her homeschooling her two beautiful princesses, hanging
out with her amazing husband, or taking a hot bubble bath…next to a pile of
chocolate. A Tale of Two Centuries is her second novel.
I love the cover. Enjoy the first book and looking forward to this one!
