Broken Rival: A Novel – A Gripping Time Travel Romance Where She's Hunted by One Brother and Loved by the Other

Magnolia Brown looks like any other eighteen-year-old navigating high school hallways, Friday night football games, and swim meet podiums — but she's hiding a secret that could get her killed: she's from fifty years in the future.

After her parents, the brilliant scientists who invented time travel, are seized and executed for their forbidden work, Magnolia finds herself stranded in the past with no way home and a death sentence hanging over her head. Time travel isn't just controversial in her era — it's outlawed, hunted down, and punished without mercy. And the enforcers tracking her kind are relentless.

Enter the Calloway brothers. Brennan is the school's golden-boy quarterback, warm-eyed and dangerously easy to trust. His brother Declan is something else entirely — cold, methodical, and sworn to eliminate exactly what Magnolia is. The cruel twist? She needs them both. One offers shelter. The other is closing in.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Tessa Bailey comes a bold departure into science fiction romance that still pulses with her signature slow-burn heat and emotional intensity. As Magnolia fights to survive in a world that isn't hers, the line between enemy and protector blurs in ways that threaten everything — including her heart.

When the hunter knows your name and the hero knows your secret, trusting either brother could be the most dangerous decision she's ever made.
