وصف الناشر
Enjoy this story by historical fantasy romance author Anne Renwick where you'll unravel mysteries and defy conventions in a world where danger lurks around every corner. You’ll find forbidden romance, evil villains and mad science in these gaslamp and steampunk romances...
When science and secrets collide, where cures can kill, and the best intentions lead to deadly peril.
Determined to avoid an arranged marriage, Lady Olivia stowed away inside a dirigible.
Only to find herself imprisoned in a castle with no hope of rescue. So much for proving herself a worthy spy. Worse, survival hinges upon feigning marriage to the suspected double agent she was tailing—the handsome scientist Lord Rathsburn.
A mad count has kidnapped Rathsburn’s sister, and demands as the price of her freedom Rathsburn’s greatest invention: a bone-hardening technology to transform the count’s guardsmen into invincible soldiers.
Neither can trust the other. But their lives depend on working together: to keep their captors off-balance long enough to perfect Rathsburn’s technology, free his sister, escape the clutches of the count and—most of all—to keep this groundbreaking research out of enemy hands.

Castles, airships and Pteryforms oh my!!!
This book is such a thrilling adventure! Olivia wants to be a queen’s agent. Ian is one and on a mission to help save his sister who has bone issues. And then their paths cross on an airship and choices are made. Including one of a fake marriage when they get into the mad counts castle in Germany to protect Olivia from him. It all comes down to research and an apparatus to help strengthen bones. Highly recommended but 18+ cuz those scenes are hot!!

Picked this up right after reading The Golden Spider. Loved that the author took us on an adventure to Germany. Spies, castles, science and a spicy romance.
