Kathryne flees from horrible suitor after horrible suitor, each one more atrocious than the last. After a particularly vexing engagement with a drunken cad, she attempts a desperate escape from a rooftop.
When her exit is more dramatic and dangerous than she expected, a gallant hero comes to her rescue.
Kathryne believes she's found the perfect suitor, until an awkward truth crushes the hopes she has to ever find happiness.
Rooftop Suitor is a steampunk short story romance. If you love a chivalrous hero, an uncertain heroine who struggles to rise above a shocking truth, and a modern Victorian flair, then you will enjoy this short story by E.E. Everly.
