The Clockwork Pen by Jennifer Haskin

He’s a typical teen guy who craves an adventure to escape reality. She’s a steampunk cowboy with a body that won’t quit—stuck inside a gilded cage—whose only dream is to escape the fantasy and find the real world.
Wyll’s an everyday teenage guy fixing his car when he finds a door to another world and gets stuck on the other side. He sets off to discover the strange steampunk city, and people angrily wave him away, but a kind man takes him in, then secretly spirits him away in the night. When Wyll meets Sira, he has no idea who she is or why she’s the only one who understands him, but he decides to stay a while … besides, he’s stuck.

Sira’s goal is to escape the mechanical city and her tyrant father, and Wyll’s lack of emotional maturity does not impress her. Still, she keeps him hidden and safe from her dystopian world. A friends-to-lovers journey is a dream that may still come true.
