Book excerpt: Three sensual steampunk romances from award-winning author Cindy Spencer Pape in one fantastic bundle. Steam & Sorcery As a Knight of the Order of the Round Table, Sir Merrick Hadrian uses magick and steam power to hunt monsters both human and supernatural. But his skills are useless in the face of his greatest challenge, the guardianship of five children. When Merrick hires governess Miss Caroline Bristol it never occurs to him that she might be something more than human. And when the lines between humans and monsters are blurred, Caroline and Merrick must join forces to save humanity. Kilts & Kraken Magnus, Baron Findlay, longs to bring the wonders of the steam age to his remote island home, but his hands are full fighting the vicious kraken ravaging the coast. When he's swept to sea during battle and washes up on an isle in the Hebrides, Dr. Geneva McKay is sent by The Order to care for him. Magnus can't resist his overwhelming attraction to her, but as their relationship deepens, a new threat arises—from within his own village. Moonlight & Mechanicals Engineer Wink Hadrian has been in love with lifelong bachelor Inspector Liam McCullough for years. Though Liam tries to keep his distance, he can't say no when Wink asks him to help find her friend's missing son. They soon discover that London's poorest are disappearing after encounters with mysterious mechanical men. Even more alarming is a connection to a conspiracy against the Queen. Fighting against time and their escalating feelings, Wink and Liam must work together to save the monarchy before it's too late. Contains an exclusive three-chapter excerpt from Dragons & Dirigibles, available now from Carina Press.
