The Clockmaker's Kiss: A Quick Read Romantic Fantasy Novella

By Karen DiRocco

What if time itself chose you to save it?

In the City of Virelle, time does not behave.

Days repeat. Moments vanish. Lives fracture without warning. The people endure it the only way they can-by writing everything down and hoping tomorrow remembers them.

Elira Vale is different.

She doesn't loop. She doesn't forget. She only moves forward-always forward-in a city that refuses to do the same.

When a mysterious man appears at her door using a signal from a long-dead guild, Elira is pulled into a truth buried for a century: time in Virelle is breaking, and at the center of it all is a man split across existence itself-one half free, the other chained to hold reality together.

To save the city, Elira must risk everything... including her future.

Because fixing time comes at a cost.

And love, in a world where every moment can disappear, may be the most dangerous risk of all.

A fast-paced romantic fantasy filled with tension, mystery, and a love that defies time itself-perfect for readers who want a captivating escape in a single sitting.
