About this ebook

Worcester, Massachusetts, 1897. Regina Prince needs money. Without an investor to get her father's bicycle motor company up and running, she and her younger sisters will soon be going without food, let alone the fripperies of fashion. The only financier to return her letters is a man she's sure she hates—which means she has no hesitation about blackmailing him.

Walter Ellis needs to find a worthwhile investment opportunity before his father demotes him to a mail clerk, or worse. The Prince Velomotor Company might be small, but there's potential in both the motors and the fierce determination of the founder's daughter. He can't remember exactly what he did to offend Regina, but once the woman starts ordering him around, he finds that he wants to prove himself to her even more than he wants his father's approval.

Regina travels to New York with Walter, so she can make sure he's fulfilling his side of their bargain. Soon, though, she's acting as his fiancée—and wishing there was more truth to the relationship. As the web of blackmail, extortion, and family obligations around them grows ever more tangled, will Regina and Walter ever be able to find a clear path to a future together?


Looking for a twist on the usual historical romance? The Whitford Crew is a series of full-length standalone novels set in and around Gilded Age New York City, with slow-burn romances, cinnamon roll heroes, and open-door love scenes. Head Over Wheels also includes rude men stabbed with hat pins, pining exacerbated by Emily Dickinson, meddlesome little sisters, lemon cake, tamales, and strawberry jam.

A time of invention. It is easy to see that this book time period was the late 1800s the author did a splendid job of giving the reader a feel of that time period. It was such a time of change and Regina and Walter characters clearly showed the new way of thinking. There are some other super characters like Walter’s friend and the twins. This is not a simple romance there is some depth to the story and characters. This was an excellent book that I hope you check out. I did receive a free copy of this book from Booksprout and voluntarily chose to review it.

I enjoyed this second story in the "Whitford Crew" series. It is a historical romance set in late 1800s. The writer does a great job with this time period and I even learned a few things. The story is about Regina and Walter. It develops nicely and has some entertaining bits along with suspense, mystery, family and more.
