New England, 1840
One fateful day, lonely watchmaker Matthew Goddard discovers the lover of his dreams in a dusty corner of the local general store—Isabel, a bisque porcelain mannequin head with mesmerizing, smoky blue eyes. When Matthew invites her to come live with him, she eagerly "accepts."


The couple embarks on a passionate affair, one fueled by Matthew's wild imagination. To provide Isabel with a brass body and pretty clothes, he begins a secret side business selling clockwork pleasure toys to his wealthy female customers.


But danger threatens their idyllic romance when a disgruntled customer exposes Matthew's forbidden business to the townspeople. Despite the growing menace, Matthew will stop at nothing in order to save his soul mate—and protect their love.

 

Note: The Watchmaker's Lady was originally published by Red Sage Publishing in 2012. Edition 2 has been reformatted and rejuvenated with a new cover but has not been substantially changed.
