A Bondage of SilkIn a world where steam and shadows intertwine, Ophelia Thorne is shackled by the suffocating constraints of high society. Cloaked in the seductive guise of "Delilah," she dares to step beyond the stifling confines of her gilded cage, plunging into the decadent depths of the Clockwork Carnival-a realm bursting with mechanized wonders and ravenous desires. At the carnival, Ophelia's senses ignite when she bumps into Raven, a tempestuous fortune teller wrapped in the allure of danger. His stormy gaze promises both pleasure and peril, drawing her into a whirlwind of illicit encounters that send shivers down her spine. As their bodies entwine and passions flare, she finds herself wrestling with a dark secret from the shadows of her past-one that threatens to dismantle her newfound freedom. Caught in a fevered dance of rebellion, Ophelia must choose: surrender to the intoxicating embrace of the carnival and the passionate Raven, or allow her family to pull her back into a life of reclaiming blandness and despair. In a world of cogs, gears, and fervent love, desire ignites like a steam engine on fire. Can Ophelia break the chains of silk binding her, or will she become just another lost soul lingering in the shadows of the carnival's secrets? In this seductive, steam-powered adventure, nothing is as it seems, and every heartbeat may lead to ruin or ecstasy.
