The unlikely hero of adventure novels, Archimedes Fox won't
let anything get in the way of his adventure hunting, and
the
real life version is the same way because truth is truly
stranger than fiction. He needs a valuable treasure from the
strong mercenary captain of the Lady Corsair, Yasmeen, but
he's tangled with her before. She gave him every opportunity
to survive, but she did leave him in perilous circumstances.
However, his goal is paramount, as is hers. They must band
together and alternately attempt to seduce the other while
not
become trapped as they attempt to deceive a greater mutual
enemy.
HEART OF STEAL is a great book. Archimedes and Yasmeen are
carefully crafted, and the world around them is fascinating.
They are clever and strong as well as being mysterious and
funny. The world-building is fantastic, so every detail is
perfect in this steampunk setting. Although many elements
are
well done, the humor and humanity stand out as exceptional.
Return to the gritty, alluring world of steampunk with
the New York Times bestselling author of The Iron
Duke.
Growing up in the dangerous world of
the Iron Seas, the mercenary captain of the airship Lady
Corsair, Yasmeen, has learned to keep her heart hard as
steel. Ruthless and cunning, her only loyalty is to her ship
and her crew-until one man comes along and changes everything...
Treasurehunter Archimedes Fox isn't interested in the
Lady Corsair-just the captain and the valuable da
Vinci sketch she stole from him. When it attracts a
dangerous amount of attention, Yasmeen and Archimedes
journey to Horde-occupied Morocco- and straight into enemy
hands.
