Smoke, Steel, & Ivy

Princess Ivy knows her war-ravaged kingdom of Amadanri is in trouble. The only hope she has of keeping her people, including her eleven sisters, safe is by implementing a decisive new strategy—and soon. Invasion is imminent as soon as the winter snows melt. Ivy knows the war could be won with technological innovation in the form of a machine so powerful it would end the conflict once and for all, but she can’t build a war engine alone.



Enter Major Collin, a disgraced officer imprisoned for desertion and charged with treason. Yet beneath his jaded exterior lies a mind as sharp as any blade. He may be the only person who can help Ivy bring a peaceful end to the war, but what sort of woman would ever trust a traitor? A desperate woman. Collin joins Ivy’s task force, and their uneasy alliance sparks with tension and unexpected romance. But trust, like peace, is a fragile thing, and as secrets unravel, Ivy must decide: can she gamble her heart and her kingdom’s fate on a traitor who could destroy everything?



Smoke, Steel, & Ivy is a reimagining of the fairy tale “The Twelve Dancing Princesses.” It’s perfect for readers who crave adventure, happily-ever-afters, and a smoldering romance without explicit content.
