The Marriage Machine (The Londo Chronicles #1)

In futuristic Londo City, the Marriage Machine is a necessary evil. But ace mechanic Elspeth Shutterhouse is pretty sure women no longer need the machine to jumpstart their reproductive systems. And she is damnably sure the inventors of the machine, the plutocratic Ramsay family, are conniving criminals who profit from the misfortunes of women. When Elspeth is called in to repair the machine over the holidays, she decides to decommission the contraption—and runs into a lot more than she bargained for.

This novella introduces The Londo Chronicles, a new Steampunk series by award-winning author, Patricia Simpson.
