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.
