The Devil Beneath the Gate: A Time Travel Monster Romance - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Rei Ashdown knows how to mend broken lacquer. She has no idea how to mend a river.

When an antique comb pulls her from modern London into New York in 1889, Rei survives the Hell Gate currents because something beneath them lifts her to shore. Kolk is ancient, enormous, and made of stone. Four years ago, the city blasted his body into pieces. Now those pieces lie in river mud, construction fill, and a wealthy collector’s cabinet. He holds himself together through every tide.

Rei can see where he has broken. For the first time in centuries, someone wants to touch those places.

With a laundress willing to lie for her and a river girl who knows every dangerous crossing, Rei begins gathering what the city has taken. But the collector has plans for Kolk’s remains: a machine that will turn the river’s guardian into electric light. And he has noticed that the monster goes still for her.

Every night brings Rei closer to Kolk. Every touch gives the collector another way to use them both.

Rei has until the highest tide of October to attempt a repair no conservator has ever made. She will need gold, patience, and Kolk’s trust—and she may have to give up the life she is still hoping to return to.

Book Three of The Troth: a gothic time-travel monster romance with an adult heroine, found family, explicit open-door intimacy, and a happily-ever-after.
