Black Friday Romance Bash 2025
Out of Time by Pauline Baird Jones
Strap on for a “…magical, romantic, and funny…” ride through history.
Experience a love story that transcends time and war in this riveting novel. Journey with a modern-day adventurer and a charming pilot from the past as they navigate not only the challenges of a world at war but also their growing attraction for each other.
Melanie “Mel” Morton is a contemporary adventure reporter. She’s used to tackling current events, not delving into historical narratives. However, her world is turned upside down when a WWII veteran asks for her help in saving her grandfather’s life – by traveling back in time.
Launched into the past, Mel finds herself in the middle of her grandfather’s pivotal final mission during WWII. Shot down and stranded in enemy territory, Mel and the now young and handsome pilot, Jack Hamilton, must traverse the dangerous landscapes of occupied France.
With the generational gap adding another layer of complexity to their mission, Mel and Jack have to put aside the magnetic pull between them. Failure is not an option – their lives, Mel’s future, and the course of history hang in the balance.
Out of Time is a gripping time-travel romance adventure that will captivate you from start to finish. If you love the thrill of rapid-fire action, the allure of intense chemistry, and the drama of World War II accurately depicted, then you’ll be enthralled by Pauline Baird Jones’ tribute to the Greatest Generation.

I’ve written across genres because, honestly, I get bored easily. (Plot twist: writing keeps me from falling asleep in my own laundry pile.) My books range from romantic suspense to science fiction to comedy thrillers, with the occasional gothic or paranormal twist. No matter the setting, I promise you’ll find heroines who are braver than they think, heroes worth cheering for, and enough humor to keep you grinning between the nail-biting moments.s me from falling asleep in my own laundry pile.)

And yes, if you’re wondering, I laugh at my own jokes while writing. (Somebody has to.)
If you’re looking for stories that:
- Sweep you out of the ordinary,
- Deliver romance without the eye-rolls,
- Mix danger with laughter,
- And leave you smiling, hopeful, and maybe a little braver—
Then you’re in the right place. Welcome to my world.
