Before Faodail, there was Brooklyn. Before the Bruadarach Cabinet, there was the fire station. And before all else, there was Clara.
Amidst the whirlwind of headlines about the Titanic sinking, Leo and Clara met. Their bantering childhood friendship swiftly developed into more as they aged and stole every moment together that they could. This attraction went unspoken and unclaimed until Clara’s father revealed his plot from before she was born – she was to wed for business, not love. Undeterred and spiteful, Clara dove into Leon’s open arms.
Unfortunately, they would have to pay for every moment they’d stolen.

Characters
Leon is as much a part of Brooklyn as it is of him. Born and raised on the same few blocks all his life, he’s never dreamed of reaching outside this little box. Content to work at the local fire station for as long as he can, taking care of his mother with every penny he makes, he never thought anywhere else would do. Until the first time he was in Clara’s arms.
From the outside, Clara’s life is perfectly charmed. An heiress to an immense coal mine fortune, she seems to have it made. Everything she could ever need is in the palm of her hand, but at the same time she’s denied nearly everything she wants. Breaking free of her gilded cage is all she’s ever longed for. And in Leon, she sees the key.
