Bestseller Kerrelyn Sparks THE FORBIDDEN LADY
n the world of The Ether Chronicles, the Mechanical War
rages on, and appearances are almost always deceiving . . .
The prim professor
Daphne Carlisle may be a scholar, but she's far more
comfortable out in the field than lost in a stack of books.
Still, when her parents are kidnapped by a notorious
warlord, she knows she'll need more than quick thinking if
she is to reach them in time. Daphne's only hope for getting
across enemy territory is an airship powered and navigated
by Mikhail Denisov, a rogue Man O' War who is as seductive
as he is untrustworthy.
The jaded mercenary
Mikhail will do anything for the right price, and he's
certain he has this mission—and Daphne—figured
out: a simple job and a beautiful but sheltered
Englishwoman. But as they traverse the skies above the
Mediterranean and Arabia, Mikhail learns the fight ahead is
anything but simple, and his lovely passenger is not
entirely what she seems. The only thing Mikhail is certain
of is their shared desire—both unexpected and dangerous.
