Synopsis
Berenice Beetlestone has no time for fashion. Her passion is engineering—but when her patron is arrested for treason, her survival depends on blending into glittering society. Thrust into Baron Moxham’s world of chandeliers, suitors, and sabotage, Berenice must master more than gears and blueprints. Every waltz becomes an interrogation. Every teacup hides a listener. And every invention she builds could serve loyalty—or treachery. Armed with her intellect, her integrity, and an unfashionable bustle concealing dangerous secrets, Berenice must navigate the machinery of power itself. Perfect for fans of Gail Carriger and steampunk intrigue, Berenice Bobs Her Bustle is a tale of invention, betrayal, and a woman determined to write her own future.
