What a woman wants…
The only person who ever understood what Julia Radley wanted most in life was the man who ruined her reputation and secured her victory in a bold swimming race. She does not hold Valentine Merton accountable for the harsh criticisms made against her character until he suggests the only way to smooth over the scandal of his defeat is to wed as soon as possible.
… the gentleman must dare.
After picking himself up after proposing, Valentine Merton is even more determined to tame the wild girl next door. The future he wants within the clockmaker’s guild depends on their speedy marriage. A few sweet words or, as a last resort, another brazen dare is sure to persuade her to take a chance on him… and his family.

There is a clock that my parents have in the display cabinet, but don't know where my dad bought it.
ReplyDeleteSad to say, we don't have any interesting clocks in our house.
ReplyDeleteMy clocks are pretty ordinary, but my mother has a beautiful wall clock.
ReplyDeleteI vaguely remember a cuckoo clock. I think it was in one of my grandparents houses but that was ages & ages ago. I was fascinated as a child!
ReplyDeleteI've always loved grandfather clocks but with two boys and two large dogs it's just not practical for us to have one :( Maybe one day...
ReplyDeleteI have a clock that's in a clear dome!!!
ReplyDeleteNo vintage clocks, but I do have a clock my daughter made when she was grade school that is a treasure for me.
ReplyDeleteI love cuckoo clocks and have one that my mother got in Germany in the 1950s. I have a grandfather clock that was made by father in law.
ReplyDeleteno special or vintage clocks. But I think it would be fun to get a grandfather clock as long as it wasn't too loud ;) thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWe have a 36" tall all wood, carved, pendulum wall clock that hubby's parents purchased in the Black Hills of Germany back int he 60's. It is currently silent, so am saving my pennies to get it fixed. I miss the BONGS!
ReplyDeleteWe have a beautiful Grandfather clock, too. We also have a lovely solid brass Matthew Norman carriage clock that we got whilst we still lived in England.
ReplyDeleteI have a few small clocks around, but no Grandfather clocks (I've always loved them). One of them is a Cuckoo Clock - it needs some repairs and has been in a box since I took it down for some renovations.
ReplyDeleteNo but I think they are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI have a small modern white clock on my wall, that runs on a battery. Nothing fancy, no charm but it tells me what time it is.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a vintage clock but I have a vintage Minnie Mouse watch that's 40 years old.
ReplyDeleteI have always been a Minnie Mouse fan. I bet that is an awesome watch :)
DeleteYes,we have old clock from the time of my grandfather youth,I know is from Germany :)

ReplyDeleteWe have a lovely mantle clock we got at a school fundraiser. We have an Eastlake oak carved clock that was in my husband's family for several generations. It is on the mantle in our bedroom.
ReplyDeleteThe closest to vintage clock that I have is only about 12 years old and was made to look like an antique.
ReplyDeleteNo vintage clocks here.

I have a vintage clock which probably dates to the 30s or 40s. It looks like several city skyscrapers with a clock in the middle--made by Sessions Clock Company of Connecticut.
ReplyDeleteactually, I think it's Art Deco from the 20s.
