Haley Zaragoza

Haley Zaragoza writes romance that moves between contemporary and historical settings. Time Spent With You, released in 2023, pairs Diana Fletcher, who resists an unwanted marriage in England, with James Barnes, a man diverted from his best friend’s wedding by an unexplained journey. Their meeting turns the constraints of society and time into the novel’s central obstacle. The story combines a period marriage plot with time displacement and asks whether personal choice can overcome the expectations surrounding both characters. Fantastic Fiction lists it as a standalone novel alongside Never Graham Spencer, while Zaragoza’s wider bibliography includes the When in Waverly novels The Nice Guy Next Door, The Heartbreaker I Adore, and The Grump I Despise. Her Barker Sisters series begins with Always You. Those series entries place her work mainly within contemporary romance, while Time Spent With You extends that interest through a speculative premise and a central character determined to set her own terms.
