The Clockmaker's Conundrum
Kim Tierney Smith
London, 1875. By day, Amelia Wells is a gifted watchmaker’s apprentice. By night, she dreams of a life where she doesn’t need to hide behind false whiskers and a lowered voice. Disguised as "Mr. Wells," her secret seems safe—until Lord Alexander Devlin enters her shop.
A nobleman with a broken pocket watch—and a far more dangerous secret—Devlin unwittingly draws Amelia into a plot that could shake Parliament to its foundations. Hidden within the watch’s gears is a message that launches them on a race against time through shadowed alleys, clock towers, and political intrigue.
As Big Ben counts down to disaster, Amelia must use her remarkable mechanical skills to solve a deadly puzzle. But every tick brings her closer to two betrayal from within the shadows... and a growing attraction to a man she can never have.
The Clockmaker’s Conundrum is a clean Victorian romantic suspense perfect for fans of clever heroines, slow-burn danger, and hidden messages in gaslit London. First in the Victorian Secrets series.
