YA
Household maid Addy discovers a lift that transports her back in time. Mistaken for a lady, Addy decides to stay--until learning she's been promised to brutish Sir Hugh. While the concept is engaging, execution is somewhat sloppy; Addy isn't very likable and the language verges on cheesy at times. A brief appended author's note clarifies time periods.
