As their secrets threaten to unravel, one wrong stitch could cost them everything.
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.
Thrown together in the cramped backroom of a millinery shop and a shared garret room, their tensions fray, tangle, then bind.
But ambition doesn’t leave room for longing. And love was never part of Solange’s plan. When she exposes Louise-Marie’s secret in her pursuit of prosperity, will she lose everything?
Immerse yourself in this historical sapphic romance set in a Belle Epoque That Never Was, 19th century Paris with a hint of steampunk.
