Book 1

Steampunk Carnival

Crossing her boss will be one dangerous ride.

Katya Romanova gave up everything to guide guests at the one-of-a-kind Steampunk Carnival, where she dazzles in all the freedom and attention she could want. Behind the summer crowds of 1887, death threats enrage owner William Warden and drag Katya into danger with him, terrified anyone next to them could end their lives at any moment. Trusting him to protect them, Katya digs up proof he’s not who he claims to be, driving her to match wits and will against Mr. Warden to replace him with the person who deserves that honor the most.

As Mr. Warden tightens his grip around everyone and everything, Katya struggles to escape his charm and his tyranny. If she fails to expose his lies before he silences her truth, Katya never sees the carnival she loves again, and the man who already lost so much throws away his only chance at redemption.

Will Katya bring joy and justice back to the groundbreaking carnival, or will Mr. Warden erase her from the pages of steampunk history?

Book 2

The Airship

One treasure. One voyage. Two rivals.

In the spring of 1901, Amelia Harlow boards a revolutionary airship for its first cross-ocean flight. Her fellow passengers fear a paroled murderess traveling with them, but Amelia doesn’t. She didn’t come for the unique experience or abundant amenities. The woman owns a singular map Amelia could sell for a fortune if she can steal it.

Running into Darius Shank poses the biggest challenge. The thieving lover who once cost Amelia everything eyes the same target. Rekindling their vindictive teamwork, Amelia appeases Darius while staying one step ahead of him. She doesn’t plan to leave without the map or expect a new, forbidden romance to complicate her mission.

The map’s profit would do more than set Amelia back on her feet, but eagerness could draw the wrong attention in such tight quarters. To keep Darius from hurting her innocent acquaintances or herself, Amelia plots her moves wisely. She has six days to secure a brilliant future or lose the chance of a lifetime.

Book 3

Fountain of Youth

A race against the clock to reverse time itself.

Clementine Fitzgerald, more at home with country roads than a crowded city, has a lot to prove to her estranged father’s colleagues. In the shock of his sudden death, Clementine insists her expertise with plants can help his company succeed without him.

As 1917 dawns in a foggy Indian winter, Clementine changes the factory’s course away from a simple beauty cream inspired by the legendary Fountain of Youth. Clementine pushes for perfecting a serum with the power to turn back real aging. Cost is no object, and she won’t take no for an answer.

Navigating a mix of languages and religions halfway around the world requires interpreters and patience on all sides. With each friend Clementine makes, she finds someone else to worry about and heal. In a colorful place full of distractions, she forces herself and the team to stay on track.

Clementine drives them toward accomplishing the impossible while a cloud of mystery surrounds her every move. How much do her colleagues really know about Clementine Fitzgerald? If Clementine wishes to keep her past hidden, she must finish the project before someone brings her darkest secrets to light.
