A Timeless Attraction is a historical romance about two people from different eras brought together by the mysterious workings of fate. The novel takes readers on a journey through the past, exploring themes of love, sacrifice, and destiny against the backdrop of the American Civil War.

The story begins with Molly Hannon, a passionate graduate history major who has been fascinated by history ever since her grandfather started taking her to old battle sites and telling her stories about historical events. Her deep-seated desire to witness history firsthand becomes an unexpected reality when a mysterious force transports her back to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, in 1863.

Here, she meets Wilbur Morris, a doctor and former owner of her grandparents' home. Molly is captivated by Doctor Morris's dedication to his work and kindness toward those in need. On the other hand, Doctor Morris is also bewildered and intrigued by Molly's strange attire and speech and is drawn to her intelligence and passion for history. It doesn't take long for a relationship to form between them as they spend more time together and bond over their past grief, trauma, and failed relationships.
