The Inventor’s Showstopper
Part of Series: Rebels and Romance (#1)
To avoid treason, they’ll give the performance of a lifetime.
Knowing the emperor’s invitation to a scientific conference in Berlin is a front for mobilizing military resources, Gregori Whitney—socially anxious engineer and inventor—needs to find the perfect actress to play his wife.
Stage left: enter Scarlet Laundry.
Driven by her desire to rid her countrymen of the mounting debts owed to creditors, Scarlet—actress, barmaid, and sister to the deadliest gang leader in Dockside—agrees to Mr. Whitney’s scheme for one reason: the money. Struggling with trauma from her past, she’s determined to keep the “Miracle Genius” at arm’s length. But as watchful eyes leave her no choice but to initiate a wife’s devotion on her “honeymoon,” Scarlet finds her fear of a man’s touch fading and a new craving for one particular inventor taking its place.
Cue the drama.
Espionage, a wild carriage ride, and the prison break of the century.
It’s a race for the border as their covers are blown and their fake relationship rewrites itself into something real. But will loyalty to their friends and family prove more important than loyalty to their hearts before the final curtain falls?
Tropes you'll enjoy:
