The Mating of Blind Billy Hipp

Billy Hipp, more commonly referred to as Blind Billy Hipp although he wasn't fully blind, has spent eons regretting the actions of his youth. Now, he devotes his time to being the best damn Searcher in the area. An expensive Searcher who expects to be paid for what he does. What he doesn't expect is to have someone with more cash than sense, turn up on his doorstep and insist on using his talents no matter how much every one of Billy's senses is telling him to run in the other direction.
Little did he know the job would bring him face to face with his destiny. Dathan had a huge secret. Only the automaton who works at his building is aware he often goes out at night fully dressed and comes back sometimes days later, minus his boots, and he doesn't ask questions. But Dathan is living on his aunt and uncle's favor, and so when his uncle asks for one in return, he is obligated to say yes.
How hard can it be to turn up for a line up at the local police station? Dathan thought it would be a laugh, but the experience gave him more than he'd bargained for. Steam trains, grotesque machines, beautiful birds in gilded cages. Billy and Dathan have to navigate all of these and more for a chance at their HEA. But when the situation calls for a sacrifice - which one of them will make it and how much will it cost????????The Mating of Blind Billy Hipp is book three of the Quirk of Fates series, although it is a complete standalone, set in a different time frame and different world than other books in the series.
Hint's of Steampunk lace this MM Fated Mates story. MM, HEA, Fated Mates. Mature content but then this book is intended for adults only. I do hope you enjoy it.
