About this listen

Her life was going smoothly until love threw a wrench into it.

Her uncle’s pet and her mother's trial, Elizabeth Bennet has always been...different. Blessed with a quick mind and a knack for all things mechanical, sometimes the simplest things — like love — are harder for her to fix.

Fitzwilliam Darcy is anything but simple. A gentleman by birth but an engineer at heart, he wastes no time in dismantling Elizabeth’s secret. The gentleman, however, has secrets of his own that cause him to linger, to falter, and then to risk everything.

A chance journey with Elizabeth’s uncle to Mr. Bingley’s factory in Birmingham had seemed the ideal opportunity to indulge her fascination without risk to her reputation. But a lady of gentle birth and modest means must never tinker with machinery, and most certainly should not have grease on her cheek.

What began as a mechanical challenge becomes a personal test when rioters and old enemies turn the tables. Can Elizabeth and Darcy work together, or will the gears spin out of control?

Love and Other Machines is a clean Regency novella of 20,000 words.
