She just scored her dream role starring in an adaptation of Jane Austen’s Northanger Abbey. It's not just the role of a lifetime, but it’s also her last chance to prove herself as a serious actress, and more importantly, it’s her opportunity to honor her mom, who was the biggest fan of Jane Austen ever.

A serious British method actor, he wants nothing to do with her. He is a type-A, no-nonsense, Royal Academy prodigy, whereas she is big-hearted, a little reckless, and admittedly, kind of a mess. But the film needs chemistry―and her career depends on it.

Sparks fly, but not in the way she hoped, when an electrical accident sends the two feuding co-stars back in time to Jane Austen’s era. 200 years in the past with only each other to rely on, they need to ad-lib their way through the Regency period in order to make it back home, and hopefully not screw up history along the way. But if a certain someone looks particularly dashing in those 19th century breeches…well, she won’t be complaining.

On sale now through October 14th (or until we sell out), this box is perfect for fans of Outlander and Jane Austen's novels alike! Including plenty of second chances, laugh-out-loud dialogue, and four immersive gifts that bring the story to life, this is not a box to be missed! Boxes are expected to ship in late October.
