The Time-Crossed Translator

Vera Watkin, a celebrated 21st-century translator from Dragon Country, wakes in the 1980s in the body of an overweight namesake. Determined, she reinvents herself, losing weight and forging a striking new image while clinging to her linguistic skills. When foreign plots threaten trust and careers, Vera uses her translation expertise to expose conspiracies and earns a hard-won promotion to chief translator. Karl Remington, who once dismissed her, watches her competence and courage dismantle his prejudice. Their clashes turn to mutual respect, then to fragile love as danger tightens. Facing suspicion, ambition, and the cost of transformation, they must decide if trust can survive the past she carries and the future she builds; in the end, love wins and they marry.
