Holly Cottage (Magnificent Devices Novella)
Buying a cottage is not as easy as you'd think. Especially if you're a man with a past ... in love with a woman with a future. Maggie Polgarth astonishes everyone at Carrick House when, in a bid for independence, she buys a plot of land and a cottage near Vauxhall Gardens. From one decision, change ripples outward in the flock. Maggie transfers her scientific studies from Munich to London, leaving Lizzie behind. Two of the street sparrows leave the Malverns' protection to go with her to her new home. And most significant of all, she meets a man who is not only well educated but also kind and handsome. But the south bank gangs have not forgotten the Lady of Devices. If they cannot touch her, it's only a matter of time before they take their revenge on someone closer to hand. Jake Fletcher McTavish will risk his own life before he allows anyone to harm a hair on Maggie's head. He's not afraid of the gangs and he's a dab hand in a fight. But how can he show Maggie that his feelings run deeper than those of a brother? And how can he protect her when she seems to prefer the company of her new suitor-a man who is everything Jake is not? If you like old-fashioned adventure, brave women, clever children, and strong-willed chickens, you'll love this short story set in the Magnificent Devices steampunk world. Fangs for the Fantasy says, "The backbone of this great series is and has always been the characters. Their issues, their layers, their complexity, their solid relationships and their loyalties all elevate a good book to a really great one."
