Their Last Heiress, His First Choice

Rosamund leans over the brass automaton in lamplight while Kit holds the lamp.

The lamp threw a small gold circle over the automaton's chest, and Rosamund set her palm flat against the brass.

She felt along the seam until her fingers found the place where the plate did not quite meet.

Synopsis

Rosamund has spent her life as the Ashgroves' charity case. They gave her a cot, a uniform, and a name that was never hers. She never begged them for more. Then a silver locket at their auction is traced to the Ravell family. Tiernan Ravell calls Rosamund his sister and shows the Ashgroves the trust they hid. The family that threw her away has been lying for years. Thaddeus March is the most powerful man in the city. He sees Rosamund wake a dead machine and decides he wants her. She tells him she is not for sale. He will have to earn every step, and he will not stop until she knows she is the one he will always choose.
