An ambitious young milliner. A shy noblewoman fleeing an arranged marriage. Love is a risk neither can afford. Solange doesn't have time for love. She's too busy working her way up in the Parisian millinery trade. Her goal: to become rich and lift her family out of poverty. So when a beautiful aristo whirls into the millinery fascinated by hat making, Solange isn't interested. Or so she tells herself. Louise-Marie hates the fancy parties she's dragged to at Versailles and never wanted to marry.
She just wanted to be left alone, making hats. Running away from home to become a milliner seemed like a good idea but the life of a working-class shop girl is harder than she imagined. And her new coworker doesn't seem to like her much. When they're thrown together in the cramped backroom of a millinery shop and a shared garret room, tensions fray. Buy the book now and immerse yourself in this cosy, low-spice historical sapphic romance set in a Belle Epoque That Never Was, 19th century Paris with a hint of steampunk.
