About
The Empress of Prussia is quite beside herself …
When Lady Georgia Brunel and her Aunt Millie are summoned before the Empress of Prussia, the brilliant young woman does not seem herself. They soon discover the reason—she has been replaced by one of her own inventions, an automaton so lifelike that it seems even the Cabinet has not detected the switch. If the news gets out, there will be chaos in the Empire, and the heir to the throne will be only too happy to put off his next hunting trip to accept the crown.
If ever Georgia needed the help of her friend Dustin Seacombe, it is now. But he has gone back to the Fifteen Colonies, leaving her with nothing but memories … and unanswered questions. So it is up to her and Millie to quietly sift truth from lies in an effort to find the empress—and bring the villains behind the plot to light. When they hear whispers of an underground group of rogue inventors, Georgia wonders whether the empress has actually abdicated of her own free will … or if her life is about to end in the destruction of an empire.
The Automaton Empress is the second novel in the Lady Georgia Brunel Mysteries series set in the Magnificent Devices steampunk world. Though the books can be read as standalones, there are threads of love and family running through them all. No strong language, just a very proper kiss or two and a satisfying solution.

Praise
"As with all this series, The Amish Cowboy’s Mistake was fantastic. Adina Senft has a way of composing a storyline that not only holds your attention, but leaves you with a better outlook on your own faith, family, and overall perspective."
Goodreads
on The Amish Cowboy's Mistake
“The first thing I loved about this story from Adina Senft is that it’s set in Montana—we don’t get many Amish stories set on the Western side of the US, so it was fun to shift gears from farming to ranching. The Montana landscape in winter is an added bonus! I also loved that this is a prequel to her Montana Millers series, the origin story, if you will, of the Circle M Ranch and the love story that accompanies it. This story is a girl-next-door romance with layered characters and an overall sweetness to the tone that warms the heart.”
