Charlotte Amelia Caprice may seem like an ordinary
girl. She has a job she hates, a boss
she despises, and zero romantic prospects.
Her friends call her Charlie, when she can keep one for more than a few
weeks. Though Charlie may seem ordinary,
she is anything but. Charlie doesn’t
have a heart. Instead, she has a steam
driven machine in her chest, always making her feel less than human. Gears and pistons have been using her own
body heat to pump her blood for over a decade.
There is one small problem. Her
heart is beginning to break. When Charlie meets a brilliant man, one who could save
her life, she must choose between being heartless and being alive. A simple choice for some, but for Charlie
living on steam isn’t easy.
