Our 80s Romance: Love in Full Bloom

Tessa Jorrel is a dancer who wakes up in the 1980s in the body of a pregnant woman with her own name, married to Shaun Lorne, a company commander who is cold and abstinent in public. The woman whose body she now has had used shameless methods to force Shaun into the marriage, and the whole household despises her for it. Tessa sets about changing how her husband's family sees her. She wins over her two sisters-in-law with cooking from her own century and with plain honesty. She retells a palace drama she remembers, the story of a concubine in the inner court, and the whole compound gathers to laugh at it. Her dancing impresses her mother-in-law, who had been the hardest to please. Yelena Vance sets traps for her and Tessa works out how to get around them. Living alongside her changes Shaun. Outside the house he is still the disciplined officer. At home he turns gentle and obedient. By the time Tessa notices, she is in love with him.
