Carrick House, Selwyn Place, Holly Cottage, & Gwynn Place: Short Steampunk Adventures

This box set contains four novellas in the bestselling Magnificent Devices steampunk series.

Carrick House: Married eight months, Lady Claire Trevelyan and Dr. Andrew Malvern are blissfully working together on a new invention, and providing a home for a collection of street sparrows. Then Claire's mother, the redoubtable Lady Jermyn, arrives with her family in tow and expects to stay indefinitely . . . Peony Churchill turns up on the doorstep with valise in hand . . .

Selwyn Place: When Lady Emilie Selwyn invites Andrew and Lady Claire Malvern to her very first country house party, Claire is delighted to offer her help-until she discovers that Peony Churchill is also on the guest list.

Holly Cottage: Maggie Polgarth astonishes everyone at Carrick House when, in a bid for independence, she buys a plot of land and a cottage near Vauxhall Gardens. From one decision, change ripples outward in the flock.

Gwynn Place: The winds of change are blowing-Lady Claire is a big sister again with the arrival of little Caroline, and eight-year-old Nicholas is preparing to go to Eton.
