The Perilous In-Between. The Chuzzlewit Chronicles, #1

A dark secret. A town in peril. A handsome stranger. Between protecting her town from a vicious sea monster and keeping her overbearing mother off her back, Victoria has enough to deal with. She doesn't need the bewitching charm of dapper lords wooing and tricking her into marriage. When a mysterious man shows up in Chuzzlewit, he throws her completely off course. Victoria experiences things with Graham she didn't know she could feel.
His mesmerizing candor and brazen abandon make her crave him in ways she never anticipated. But Graham isn't all he appears to be. He knows secrets about people, things he couldn't possibly know, including a secret about Victoria herself that she has yet to uncover. And when he tells her what that is, being forced into wedlock is no longer her biggest problem. Getting out of her town is. Fans of The Paper Magician by Charlie Holmberg and The Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare won't want to miss this dazzling romp in a steampunk, fantastical Victorian world.
