Present History (Hands of Time Book 1) by: Ashley Nikole
Some stories exist through paper and ink. Others knock on your door…
After a violent attack shatters her carefully constructed life, New York City author Ellie Daniels retreats to her family’s lakeside cottage in Maple Ridge, hoping distance will dull the ache of what was taken from her.
But instead of solace, she finds strange echoes of the past. Men from distant eras throughout time begin appearing in her home—haunted U.S. Marshals, war-weary soldiers—each carrying wounds that mirror her own. They don’t know how they got there. Neither does she.
Then there’s Tom Holt. A man she barely knows. A man who saw her fall apart during an interview—and keeps showing up in places he shouldn’t be. Ellie doesn’t know if she can trust him… or the way her heart responds when he’s near.
As reality unfolds and the very fabric of history refuses to stay in the past, Ellie must choose: hide from the pain, or face what’s chasing her—before it’s too late.

The packaging was super cute and well packed. I was surprised to see the box was personalized. Thank you!! I can’t wait to jump into my new read.
The packaging was beautiful i didnt even want to open it to damage how well put together it was. Tysm
The book is a birthday gift for my wife. I have not opened the package yet because the box and packaging is far better than I could ever hope for. Just hope it’s the deluxe version she’s been wanting when she opens it
I ordered a signed novel online and am immensely impressed with this shop, as well as devastated that I don't have the privilege of being close enough to visit in person. Ambia was very responsive and patient with a question I had regarding shipping. The book was packed with the utmost care and arrived in perfect condition. She included the sweetest treats and trinkets along with the book. This will definitely be my first stop if I'm considering an online book purchase.
This was packed so sweetly with bunch of goodies (made me smile indeed)love this book and had to buy in pb. Lovely store 🖤
Packaged with care in the cutest packaging I’ve ever seen! Will definitely be purchasing from here again and highly recommend!

Ambia went over and beyond in the presentation and packaging of my order. Completely blown away! It was like opening up a box of sunshine—so grateful and impressed. Thank you. Will definitely be shopping here again! 🖤
Thank you so much for everything!A true love for your business and we can see it by the care of product package and customer service :)
One of my favourite books from the last few months! LVED IT! Can't waiter book 2 to be released!
I had the pleasure of reading an ARC copy from the author and so happy to have pre-ordered a physical copy with Ambia! The book is perfect short read for days when you’re in the mood for something a little spooky, paranormal with steamy romance all rolled in one!
Very well crafted and the design works perfectly with my off-white bookshelves.
