Mashup Take Two!


It was only a matter of time before Steampunk and Romance would intertwine.

In this novel, a beautiful woman and a surly gentleman bent on exposing her secrets wind up in Iceland where there may be hidden some legendary secrets that seem to be mechanical in nature.   Though, a disaster happens, leaving the two stranded on a glacier,  trying to escape a madman and letting nature take its course...

This is part of a series called the "Iron Seas"

I think Steampunk will appeal to many romance readers, as the men have the air of Victorian swagger and intelligence, and the heroines can take center stage, be smart and plucky,  escaping from the confines of traditional Victorian values while still wearing traditional Victorian romantic garb.    BCPL has this novel catalogued in our science fiction collection,  but there is definitely a high romantic bent to this one, sure to appeal to our romance readers.
