A Clockwork Heart
FOR BETTER OR CURSE. That might as well have been the wedding vow of Elle Chance and her new husband, the ex-Warlock Hugh Marsh in the second book of this edgy new series that transforms elements of urban fantasy, historical adventure, and paranormal romance into storytelling magic. As Elle devotes herself to her duties as the Oracle—who alone has the power to keep the dark designs of Shadow at bay—Marsh finds himself missing the excitement of his former life as a Warlock. So when Commissioner Willoughby of the London Metropolitan police seeks his help in solving a magical mystery, Marsh is only too happy to oblige. But in doing so, Marsh loses his heart . . . literally. In place of the flesh-and-blood organ is a clockwork device—a device that makes Marsh a kind of zombie. Nor is he the only one. A plague of clockwork zombies is afflicting London, sowing panic and whispers of revolution. Now Elle must join forces with her husband’s old friend, the Nightwalker Loisa Beladodia, to track down Marsh’s heart and restore it to his chest before time runs out.

Flight is freedom, but death hangs in the skies....Taya soars over Ondinium on metal wings. She is an icarus, a courier privileged to travel freely across the city’s sectors and mingle indiscriminately amongst its castes. But even she cannot outfly the web of terrorism, loyalty, murder, and intrigue that snares her after a daring mid-air rescue. Taya finds herself entangled with the Forlore brothers, scions of an upperclass family: handsome, brilliant Alister, who sits on Ondinium’s governing council and writes programs for the Great Engine; and awkward, sharptongued Cristof, who has exiled himself from his caste and repairs clocks in the lowest sector of the city. Both hide dangerous secrets, in the city that beats to the ticking of a clockwork heart.Books in the Trilogy: - Clockwork Heart - Clockwork Lies: Iron Wind - Clockwork Secrets: Heavy Fire

This Christmas, fixing the past might be harder than building the future. When meticulous museum curator Isobel Hart returns to her snow-dusted hometown for the holidays, she plans to do one thing and one thing only: oversee the restoration of a priceless antique Nutcracker automaton before Christmas Eve—and then leave. No distractions. No emotional entanglements. And absolutely no revisiting old wounds. What she doesn’t plan on is Julian Mercer. Julian is everything Isobel isn’t—broad-shouldered, hands-on, stubbornly intuitive, and infuriatingly confident in his ability to “just make things work.” As a master restorer with a reputation for saving impossible projects, he’s been hired to bring the failing mechanism back to life. Unfortunately, Julian also has a history with Isobel that’s as tangled as the brass gears scattered across his workshop. Forced to work side by side in a cozy, lamplit room filled with metal shavings, ticking clocks, and unspoken tension, Isobel and Julian clash at every turn. She believes in precision, rules, and careful preservation. He believes in instinct, risk, and bold repairs. And as the deadline looms and the Nutcracker’s clockwork heart refuses to cooperate, sparks begin to fly—both mechanical and emotional. The closer they get to finishing the restoration, the harder it becomes to ignore the pull between them. Shared late nights blur into laughter. Arguments turn into charged silences. And beneath the glow of Christmas lights outside frosted windows, old misunderstandings begin to unravel. But restoring an artifact isn’t the same as restoring trust. As Christmas Eve approaches, Isobel must decide whether she’s willing to risk her carefully ordered life for a future that can’t be perfectly calibrated. Julian must confront the fear that some things—like love—can’t be forced, only chosen. And both must learn that the heart, unlike a machine, can’t be repaired without vulnerability. The Clockwork Heart is a clean, slow-burn Christmas romance about second chances, stubborn hope, and the courage it takes to let someone see past your defenses. Set in a charming small town wrapped in winter magic, it’s perfect for readers who love: • Enemies-to-lovers tension • Grumpy-sunshine dynamics • Cozy holiday settings • Intelligent, capable heroines • Warm romance without explicit content Curl up with a cup of cocoa and step into a story where time slows, hearts mend, and love proves that even the most broken things can be made whole again—just in time for Christmas.
