Summer's heart doesn't beat, it ticks along with time. Her mother claims she's wicked, that her clockwork heart is cold and unworthy of love. But when Summer meets Noel, a country boy who loves Summer just the way she is, she wants to believe she can be happy. Happiness is tricky, though, especially where magic is involved. Summer learns the ruby that powers her heart came from a powerful witch. And Summer is just what she's looking for.

In this short story, J.L. Murray weaves a tale of love, loss, betrayal, and devotion. Of dancing bears and tinkered treasures, magical rubies, witches, and gold filigreed hearts. Wicked, Clockwork Heart is sure to stay with you long after the book closes.

Short story, but powerful, hopeful, and sad. I love the creativity of this story, and the characters that were created.

I curled up on a snowy day with a cup of tea, and lost myself in this rich, layered short story by J.L. Murray. Wicked, Clockwork Heart is a gift to lovers of magical tales full of remarkable love and mournful loss. I give this story 5 stars and can’t wait for Murray to take us on another adventure.

5.0 out of 5 stars So sad but an amazing read
Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2018
Small story but it has so many layers of meaning.
Meet Summer, she was saved by getting a clockwork heart made with magic. But she can not feel it and thinks she is wicked because everyone else made her believe she is.

Beautiful tale well worth the read ❤️
