House of Chimes

This historical romance includes a touch of fantasy when Stacy Opelius arrives at a mansion where one clock chimes louder than the rest. This particular clock works only for those whom the clock has a plan for.

As an educated upper-class lady, Stacy is not thrilled when one of her suitors plans on witnessing an auction. But when her parents agreed to attend also, there was no way she would allow her parents to embarrass her.

Upon exploring the mansion’s grounds, Stacy stumbles upon the time-traveling clock. Gripped by the magical circumstance she’s found herself in, she attracts the attention of James, a lower-class baker, who sees straight through her guarded exterior. 

Together, they form an unlikely alliance and an even more unlikely connection. But with others who know the truth about this clock, and the watchful eye of her suitor, Stacy’s freedom isn’t as easily come by. 

Will the clock give Stacy the chance to choose her future, or will the greed of bidders overpower any hope for a life of her own?

Join Stacy and James as they navigate their time from enemies to lovers, to forbidden love, with powerful foes at their heels.
