Overview

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. 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. Immerse yourself in this historical sapphic romance set in a Belle Epoque That Never Was, 19th century Paris with a hint of steampunk.

Author Information

BJ Sikes is a 5'6"" ape descendant who is inordinately fond of a good strong cup of tea, Doc Marten boots, and fancy dress. I live with one large cat, two sweet teenagers, and one editor-author, plus an array of chickens in a place very unlike my homeland. My favorite thing to write is historical fantasy with themes of a woman's struggle for agency and queer characters living their lives. Find me at www.bjsikesauthor.com
