The Clockmaker’s Heart

De: Elena Rosewood

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

When Lillian March accepts a post as governess in the bustling industrial town of Birmingham, she expects little more than a modest life of teaching and propriety. Instead, she finds herself in the eccentric household of Joseph Harcourt, a brilliant inventor whose intricate clockwork creations have made him wealthy—but not respectable.

Joseph is everything polite society warns against: unconventional, outspoken, and utterly fascinating. As Lillian teaches his shy young ward, she begins to glimpse the tender man beneath the tinkering genius—and to imagine a life that defies every rule she’s ever known.

But whispers follow Joseph wherever he goes, and a past scandal threatens to destroy them both. Torn between duty and desire, Lillian must decide whether love is worth risking her reputation…and her heart.

Great Short Story

A short romance. I love the quick and dirty romances just as much as I like the long drawn-out romances. I loved how inteligent and eccentric he was. Both him and his niece had brilliant minds.
