"If you want a story with tension and mystery, this is a must read." 5 stars from Liz McCutcheon


India Steele is desperate. Her father is dead, her fiancé took her inheritance, and no one will employ her, despite years working for her watchmaker father. Indeed, the other London watchmakers seem frightened of her. Alone, poor, and at the end of her tether, India takes employment with the only person who’ll accept her – an enigmatic and mysterious man from America. A man who possesses a strange watch that rejuvenates him when he’s ill.


Matthew Glass must find a particular watchmaker, but he won’t tell India why any old one won’t do. Nor will he tell her what he does back home, and how he can afford to stay in a house in one of London’s best streets. So when she reads about an American outlaw known as the Dark Rider arriving in England, she suspects Mr. Glass is the fugitive. When danger comes to their door, she’s certain of it. But if she notifies the authorities, she’ll find herself unemployed and homeless again – and she will have betrayed the man who saved her life.


With a cast of quirky characters, an intriguing mystery, and a dash of romance, this thrilling historical fantasy series will keep you turning the pages.

I love the story... i want to read all BUT the romance between Glass and Steele is very slow. I love romance... can these two just progress faster... we want to see sparks... i will not be buying or reading the others... amazing potential here...

The writing flows like magic holding the reader's interest until, shockingly, the last page is read and disappointment hits. Why did I read so quickly, turning pages impatiently to reach the end? The last thing I want is the end! Thankfully, Miss CJ is an imaginative and generous storyteller who kindly has another book waiting. *note to self: read very s l o w l y.
