For ambitious engineer Simon Darcy, winning Queen
Victoria's competition to recover lost inventions of
historical significance is a matter of pride—and
redemption. After all, it was Simon's failed monorail
project that left his family destitute, and winning the
tournament would surely restore the Darcys' reputation.
Simon sets his sights high, targeting no less than the
infamous time–travel device that forever changed the
world by transporting scientists, engineers, and artists
from the twentieth century. The Mod technology was banned
and supposedly destroyed, but Simon is sure he can
re–create it.
His daring plan draws the attention of Willie G., the
Clockwork Canary, London's sensationalist reporter. Simon
soon discovers that Willie is a male guise for Wilhemina
Goodenough, the love of his youth, who left him jilted and
bitter. He questions her motives even as he falls prey to
her unique charm. As the attraction between the two
reignites, Simon realizes that this vixen from his past has
secrets that could be the key to his future...as long as he
can put their history behind him.
