All Manner of Hats: A Lesbian Steampunk Novella
Milliner Valentina Briggston is on a mission of marriage.
Valentina has to marry to protect her successful business of (slightly magical) women's hats, and she has selected her quarry with care. Unfortunately, she finds herself with a rival, the fiery and fashion-defying Charlotte Jones, who is disturbingly beautiful, unexpectedly clever, and, if Valentina is being honest with herself, much more interesting than the man they are supposed to be vying for.When their intended husband-of-convenience becomes the focus of supernatural mischief, the two rivals reluctantly have to collaborate to figure out who-or what-is targeting him...and why. What starts as a truce to protect their practical interests ends up as an opportunity for happiness that neither of them saw coming.
All Manner of Hats is a short, sweet lesbian romp of manners with magic, ghost horses, and cunning hats, in a steampunk-flavored world of dirigibles, duels, and cityships.
