I am thoroughly and irrevocably damned.
That's Lord Percival Ashworth's morning ritual-a prayer of self-loathing whispered in an 1881 London library where loving men is a crime and the noose of an arranged marriage is tightening around his throat.
Then the world dissolves.
Percival wakes up in a Los Angeles parking lot in 2026 wearing a morning coat, carrying no identification from this century, and possessing absolutely no understanding of smartphones, fist bumps, or the concept of "vibes." When a production assistant mistakes him for an actor auditioning for a gay dating reality show, Percival has exactly two choices: confess that he's a time-displaced Victorian aristocrat, or play along.
He plays along.
What follows is the most improbable love story in television history. The producers think his crippling formality is a "genius character commitment." The audience falls for his habit of bowing to everyone he meets. And Percival-who has never been kissed, never been told his desires are anything but monstrous-slowly discovers a world where men can hold hands in public, where love between men is not a crime but a celebration.
Then there's Niall.
Niall O'Sullivan is an Irish museum curator with copper-red hair, kind blue eyes, and the patience of a man who has spent his career teaching people to see beauty in what survives. He's the first person who looks at Percival and sees not a performance, but a man carrying a secret so enormous it has bent the shape of his entire life.
As cameras roll and roses are offered, Percival must navigate group dates he doesn't understand, confessional booths that terrify him, and the growing certainty that the love he's finding with Niall is worth more than any secret he's protecting. But falling in love is only the beginning. Because Percival's family is still waiting for him in 1881-and introducing your Victorian father to your boyfriend requires crossing a century, a cover story, and an extremely detailed briefing on which fork to use.
A sweeping, laugh-out-loud romance about the courage it takes to be yourself-in any century.
