She doesn’t need rescuing; she just needs a skeleton key and a good exit strategy.
Ember Oliphant has spent years trapped behind the bar of her stepmother's inn—her engraving talent dismissed, her wages mysteriously nonexistent, and her future slipping further out of reach. But she has a plan: a mask, a pair of revolutionary bronze-heeled dancing slippers of her own design, and one night to convince the new manager of Oliphant Engraving to take a chance on her work.
Maxwell DeVille came to the Highlands determined to prove himself worthy of the Oliphant name. Running an engraving factory should be simple enough, but the local house party’s masquerade ball thrown in his honor is not…especially once he meets the fiery redhead who talks about metalwork like poetry, challenges him like an equal, and disappears before he can even learn her name.
All she leaves behind is a single bronze-heeled slipper engraved with impossibly delicate gears.
Max has no intention of letting the mystery go unsolved. The woman he’s looking for is clever, talented, and clearly meant for his workshop. He just doesn’t realize she'''s already there.
Warning: Contains one heroine so used to being overlooked that being seen might just be the most dangerous thing that’s ever happened to her; one thoroughly smitten new Oliphant who thought running a factory would be the hardest part of his new life in the Highlands; and footwear so distinctive it made a grown man go full fairy tale. Get ready for another fun Hot, Hilarious, Historical romance!
