The Clockwork Fae Lord

She Wasn't Meant to Break the Curse...

Solange Durant escaped the French Revolution only to find herself adrift in Edinburgh, a half-Fae changeling without family or prospects. Until the night a meddlesome Fae brought her to the estate of a cursed friend and left her there. Solange finds a motley assortment of fellow refugees from the French Revolution ranging from goblins and brownies to a centaur and the enigmatic Fae Lord living under a most peculiar curse.

Lord Faustin of the Fae only meant to rescue the supernaturals fleeing his mother's homeland. When a curse seals his estate into a repetitive loop seeking a merchant's daughter to love a Fae whose looks and health have been replaced by gears and goblin tinkering, he does not dream of freedom. Trapped in his estate, the only servant exempt from the curse's full hold is a Fae changeling who intrigues him far more than any of the beauties he's forced to host over the years. But falling in love outside of the curse's requirements could mean disaster for his people...and he is running out of time.

She never dreamed of breaking a curse that didn't even acknowledge her presence. A servant doesn't break curses, after all. And she most certainly doesn't fall in love with a clockwork Fae Lord. Yet there's something about the newest Beauty seeking to break a beastly curse that makes Solange wary of her true intentions...and question whether she can save Faustin before it's too late.
