The Mysterious Lady Law
by Robert Appleton
In a time of grand airships and steam-powered cars, the death of a penniless young maid will hardly make the front page. But Julia Bairstow is shattered by her sister's murder. When private detective Lady Law offers to investigate the case pro bono, Julia jumps at the chance—even against the advice of Constable Al Grant, who takes her protection surprisingly to heart.
Lady Law puts Scotland Yard to shame. She's solved countless cold-case crimes. No one knows how she does it, but it's brought her fortune and renown. But is she really what she claims to be? Or is Al right and she is not to be trusted?
Julia is determined to find out the truth, even if it means turning sleuth herself…

Badlands
by Seleste deLaney
After a brutal Civil War, America is a land divided. As commander of her nation's border guards, Ever is a warrior sworn to protect her country and her queen. But when the monarch is killed, Ever must infiltrate enemy territory to bring home the heir to the throne.
Ever joins forces with a reluctant Captain Spencer Pierce. And as they fly into danger, they must battle not only the enemy but also their growing attraction. Once the princess is rescued, perhaps they can find love in the Badlands—if death doesn't find them first…
"I loved this story so much. Loved Ever and especially loved the world Seleste has built for the characters."— reviewed on theThoughts of a Scot blogSeleste deLaney
Seleste deLaney's first attempt at a novel was a sweeping epic romance called Wars and Wishes, Disasters and Dreams.She finished about three chapters before deciding she had better things to do. At twelve years old, most girls wouldn't have made it that far. She went on to write numerous short stories and poems throughout her teens, but it wasn't until after earning a degree in chemistry that she returned to her love of writing fiction.

Steam & Sorcery
by Cindy Spencer Pape
Sir Merrick Hadrian hunts monsters, both human and supernatural. A Knight of the Order of the Round Table, his use of magick and the technologies of steam power have made him both respected and feared. But his considerable skills are useless in the face of his greatest challenge, guardianship of five unusual children. At a loss, Merrick enlists the aid of a governess.
Miss Caroline Bristol is reluctant to work for a bachelor but she needs a position. While she tends to break any mechanical device she touches, it never occurs to her that she might be something more than human. All she knows is that Merrick is the most dangerously attractive man she's ever met.
When conspiracy threatens to blur the distinction between humans and monsters, Caroline and Merrick must join forces, and the fate of humanity hinges upon their combined skills of steam and sorcery…
