A sweet alien rancher, a wary human woman, and the mail-order marriage that changes everything…
I’ve been raised by my wealthy family to be one thing and one thing only: a wife. So when my parent-picked fiancé turns out to be a total creep and my family disowns me for breaking off the engagement, I do the only thing I can. Even if it’s the last thing I want.
I get engaged to someone else.
That someone else turns out to be an alien rancher named Fallon. He’s everything the people I grew up with aren’t. He’s honest, patient, adorably dopey, and for some unfathomable reason, entirely devoted to me.
It’s almost terrifying, how much Fallon loves me. It’s definitely terrifying, the way I want to let him.
But when my past collides with my present, I’m forced to choose:
Do I retreat to the cold safety of my old world?
Or do I stand by the man who’s changing absolutely everything?
Even me?

“This is the first in a series of well-reviewed books set in the steampunk world. For those who like the melding of Victorian culture with the fantastic fantasy of reality-bending science fiction, this one will be right up their alley.” –Readers Realm
All she wants is to be an engineer, but her parents—and society—will never allow it. Until riots break out in steampunk London and she seizes her chance…
It’s 1889, and Claire Trevelyan is expected to do nothing more with her life than catch a rich husband. Unfortunately, her talents lie not in the ballroom, but in the laboratory, where things have a regrettable habit of blowing up. When her father gambles the estate on the combustion engine despite the fact that everyone knows the world runs on steam, Claire finds herself out in the street with nothing to her name but her steam landau and her second best hat. But the embarrassments of her old life just might be the talents that save her now … and it’s not long before a new leader rises in the underworld, known only as the Lady of Devices…
If you like old-fashioned adventure, brave young women, clever children, and strong-willed chickens, you’ll love the Magnificent Devices series. Fangs for the Fantasy says Claire is “a wonderful main character (one of my favourites in the genre)” and the series has “a great sense of Victorian style and language that’s both fun and beautiful to read.” With Lady of Devices, you can begin the adventure today!

In the shadows of an alley in Los Angeles, Detective Lena Gamble stands at a crossroads. For eight long months not a single murder case has come her way, her good name tarnished by city bosses and the dark politics of the LAPD.
But then fate deals her a hand from the cards of death. A body, a girl, a young woman—dismembered and tossed in a dumpster with the trash.
The only lead is delivered in secret. A mysterious courier, a lost witness, who drops off an envelope with the victim’s driver’s license and a video clip. A glimpse into the murderer’s world.
As Lena digs deeper, her path is fraught with mystery and deceit and whispers of a larger conspiracy. And with the body count rising, the LAPD and city bosses are watching, waiting for a misstep—hoping for it—spying on her through the walls of her own home.
Yet Lena’s resolve never wavers, her mind sharp as the blade that stole the girl’s life. And when she unearths the killer’s lair—the knives, the blood, the dead girl’s clothing—she knows it’s a race against time.
A dark dance of intellect and intuition, where every clue is a step closer to the truth, and every truth is a step closer to redemption. Will Lena Gamble outsmart everyone who wants to see her fail? Or will the City of Angels claim another lost soul to its depths? Will she live or will she die?
The answers lie in that chilling moment Lena reaches the end of the road. The moment she discovers the lost witness.
“Scorching. Deliciously twisted. Nothing is what it appears to be. Ellis succeeds masterfully in both playing fair and pulling surprise after surprise in a story that feels like a runaway car plunging down a mountain road full of switchbacks.”
—Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
