Berenice Bobs Her Bustle

In a world of airships and espionage, her brilliance lies in gears and machines. But to survive, she’ll have to master the mechanics of high society.

Berenice Beetlestone has absolutely no patience for fashion. Her passion is engineering—but when her patron is suddenly arrested for treason, her survival depends on her ability to blend into a glittering, dangerous aristocracy.

Thrust into Baron Moxham’s lavish world, Berenice quickly discovers that the ton is its own kind of lethal machinery. Beneath the gleaming chandeliers hide whispers of sabotage, every elegant waltz is a thinly veiled interrogation, and even a polite tea table can be a trap.

To protect her freedom, Berenice must master more than just blueprints. Armed with her sharp intellect, unwavering integrity, and an unfashionable bustle concealing some incredibly dangerous secrets, she must navigate the shifting alliances of the elite. Every invention she creates could secure her future—or brand her as a traitor.

Can a woman of science outmaneuver a society built to silence her?

Berenice Bobs Her Bustle is a thrilling, fast-paced YA steampunk adventure filled with grand invention, high-society betrayal, and a fierce heroine determined to build her own future.
